Tan buena como su antecesora, con un nuevo tipo de vampiro que te deja con la boca abierta, peleas tan buenas o mejores que en la primera parte, buen hilo argumental y muchísima acción. La banda sonora más rapera que en la anterior, excepto la música de la discoteca, pero no aparece en la banda sonora. La escena de la discoteca flipante, gore-gótica total. La pelea final es la ostia, de lo más bestia que he visto nunca (rompiendo columnas de hormigón con la jeta). Como en todas las películas de Guillermo Del Toro, papelillo para su colega Santiago Segura.
The presence of Guillermo del Toro in this film is noticeable. The production design, the characters design, even the photography and the cast have his signature. The film has improved a lot in one of the elements in which the first part failed badly: the visual effects. There is an excellent combination between special and visual effects, as only Guillermo del Toro could have done in the 2000s. In that same aspect there is only one problem: the body doubles done in CGI. It's also noted that there was a larger injection of budget and that they focused on creating a story that could fix the flaws of the first film. The script, which kept its author, is entertaining, dark, bloody, but always considering that it's an action and vampire movie. This sequel fully decides to walk the path of action instead of horror, an issue that the first film failed to successfully elucidate. There are mistakes, there are unnecessary sequences (such as the opening confrontation that introduces Nyssa to the film), the characters are flat, but with all of this, the film manages to be quite entertaining, with an interesting script that delivers a nice plot twist at the beginning of the last act. There's a decent share of gore, though I wouldn't have minded seeing a little more of this resource. Undoubtedly, this sequel is better than its origin film. Recommended to add to the Marvel video library.
Blade II is more than just a good Blade or comic book movie. It's one of the best vampire films of the last 20 years. Blade II was a significant step up for the Blade franchise (and, unfortunately, the trilogy's peak) with a much more experienced director and a unique and exciting premise. This time the vampires are the prey and are desperate to survive the growing horde of vampire zombies, desperate enough to side with their sworn enemy, Blade, in hopes of surviving this plague. Both Blade and Blade: Trinity placed inexperienced directors at the helm, but Blade II put experienced horror and creature director Guillermo del Toro in charge, and the result was outstanding! Blade II has the most horror influence of the trilogy and the best story. Del Toro's involvement in all three films might have saved the series, but instead, we got the all-out action letdown of Blade: Trinity. Wesley Snipes was a perfect choice for Blade, and surrounding him with a cast that included Ron Pearlman, Tony Curran, and Donnie Yen (all experienced in the genre and with action) makes Blade II a top-notch vampire action comic book film.
