[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 118440, member: 3208"] o.k., it's based on a MARVEL comic, inconsistencies are to be expected. what i meant really was that what people are complaining about is that blade 2 is not blade 1. there has never been a movie sequel made that did not deviate from the original somewhat without really sucking. ie die hard 1 = good, die hard 2 = crap, die hard 3 = good because it's different, john mclean is not trapped somewhere with a terrorist group in 3, he is not again just a victim of circomstance and poor luck. they want him dead. also most of the complaints ammount to "this movie was not exactly what i thought it would be." (if it was you would be complaining that it was to predictable) and "i have not actually thought about possible rationalisations for certian actions that blade took but i'm going to complain anyway." i'll bet you 50 bucks that blade doesn't get many chicks, finally one comes along that isn't going to be freaked out by him, and he act's a little bit strange. so what? and how many vampires that don't fry themselves within the first week want to be cured? a movie such as this was not meant to be reflected upon, it is not an art flick. it is a two (probably not even, i did not use a stop watch) hour distraction from your every day life. it was not meant to inspire thought provoking dialogue amongst it's viewers. if all you got in the movie was a vampire killing machine version of blade, the movie would have flopped and been panned by every critic in existence (and rightfully so imho) in stead they gave blade a little depth as a character, depth he had in only a few scenes in the first one. without alot of the scenes that have been complained about the plot would have been nonexistent, it would have been blade sees vampires, blade makes a wisecrack, blade kills vampire. that would have been a tradgedy. with all that there were alot of things i didn't like about blade 2, it's not the greatest movie of all time, if that's what you are expecting i hope you have a different definition of that then i do.
