›Blade ll [2002]@sirdelly974d

Hello friends, I'm here with another fascinating movie I watched titled Blade ll and I would like to share with you here.

The movie is about a rare mutation gives birth to a new vampire community called the Reapers, who attack both humans and vampires. Blade, along with an elite vampire force, is asked to wipe out the Reaper's population.

It begins In Prague, blade searches for his mentor Abraham Whistler, who was thought dead after being attacked by Deacon Frost(a), but was instead turned into a vampire by one of his captors, and held prisoner for two years.

Blade rescues Whistler and cures him. Whistler meets Scud, Blade's young, gifted new technician.

A pandemic is turning vampires into “Reapers”, primal, mutant creatures with a ravenous thirst for blood and a highly infectious bite that transforms both humans and vampires alike.

To combat the Reapers, vampire overlord Eli Damaskinos sends his trusted servant and his daughter to strike a truce with blade, who reluctantly allies with the vampires.

He teams up with the Blood pack, an elite group of vampires originally assembled to kill him.

The pack consists of Asad, Nyssa, Reinhardt, Chupa, Snowman, Priest, Verlaine, and her lover Lighthammer.

Reinhardt hates Blade and challenges him to fight, but in response, Blade attaches an explosive to the back of his head to keep him in line.

They investigate a vampire nightclub where they encounter the Reapers and discover they are immune to most vampire weaknesses.

The Reaper leader arrives and holds Nyssa hostage. He tries to recruit Blade to his cause, citing their mutual hatred of vampires.

The Priest is bitten and mercy-killed, and Lighthammer is bitten but conceals the bite. Whistler disappears and Scud is attacked by several Reapers, which he drives off with UV lights. Blade fights Nomak who is immune to Blade's weapons.

As the sun rises, Nomak retreats and Whistler returns after locating a large Reaper nest in the sewers beneath the club.

Nyssa dissects a dead Reaper and learns their hearts are encased in durable bone.

Realizing UV light is their only weakness, Scud and Whistler fashion new UV weapons for the team, as well as a UV-emitting bomb strong enough to take out the entire nest.

Entering the Reaper nest, Lighthammer transforms into a Reaper and kills Snowman. Verlaine sacrifices herself to kill Lighthammer by exposing them both to sunlight.

Chupa turns on Whistler, but Whistler covertly releases a cartridge of Reaper pheromones into the air and lures Chupa to his death.

Asad and Nyssa are ambushed and Asad is killed. Blade saves Nyssa and detonates the UV-bomb, which kills all the Reapers except for Nomak.

Nyssa and Reinhardt manage to evade the blast, but Nyssa is seriously injured until Blade allows her to drink his blood to survive.

Damaskinos' forces betray and capture Blade, Whistler, and Scud. It is revealed that the Reapers exist as a result of Damaskinos' efforts to engineer a stronger breed of vampires.

Nomak, the first Reaper, is his son, whom Damaskinos considers a failure due to his weakness to sunlight.

Scud reveals himself to be one of Damaskinos' familiars, but Blade, who already suspected this, kills him with the explosive he planted on Reinhardt earlier, which Scud thought was a dud, but Blade secretly swapped with a real explosive.

Damaskinos plans to harvest Blade’s blood to develop an immunity to sunlight and create a new and entirely invincible breed of vampires.

Whistler frees himself, escaping Reinhardt, and frees a nearly drained Blade.

Find out what happened next on Netflix as blade gets free after being nearly drained as the movie gets more interesting.

›Film Review: Blade II (2002)@drax1044d

“Enemy of my enemy is my friend” is concept that might be difficult to put in the practice, if the said enemy has dedicated his entire life towards your eradication. But sometimes, situations occur when such unpleasant alliances become the only alternatives for mutual surival. One such situation is the basis of the plot for Blade II, 2002 action horror film directed by Guillermo del Toro, a sequel to popular 1998 film.

Wesley Snipes returns in the role of Elias Brooks a.k.a. Blade, man whose mother has been bitten by a vampire during pregnancy, thus giving him all the vampire powers while depriving him of vampire weaknesses. With the help of his scientist friend and mentor Abraham Whistler (played by Kris Kristofferson) he has spent most of his life fighting vampires. But, once, much to his surprise, vampires ask him for help when faced with something that represents serious dangers to vampires and humans alike – virus that turns vampires into “Reapers”, primordial monstrous creatures that feed on vampires. Since the “Reapers” also feed on humans, Blade agrees to temporary truce and joins the team of elite vampire soldiers tasked with locating Reapers and their leader Nomack (played by Luke Goos). During the quest Blade will clash with his vicious vampire teammate Reinhardt (played by Ron Perlman), but also feel attraction towards female vampire Nyssa (played by Leonor Varela).

Second film of the series doesn’t stray much from the formula established in the first – martial arts, “cool” soundtrack, even “cooler” special effect and plenty of blood. What has changed is the style, mainly thanks to Guillermo del Toro, Mexican film director who has, by that time, established himself as one of the more respected authors of horror genre. Del Toro didn’t bother much with relatively simple plot and instead paid much more attention to the atmosphere, putting Prague locations to good use and making sure that all the action takes place at night or in dark claustrophobic tunnels. The diverse cast is doing solid job – that includes Snipes who obviously enjoys playing action-oriented hero, Kristofferson in sometimes thankless role of his mentor, Perlman as vicious vampire, Goos as even more vicious vampire, German actor Thomas Kretschmann as vampire leader and, finally, popular Spanish comedian Santiago Segura in small role. Leonor Varela, brought to serve as eye candy for male audience, didn’t make much of an impact because of poorly written role. Great effort was invested in special effects that makes scenes of violence and autopsies much more gory, while the fight scenes at time look as spectacular as in The Matrix. While not particularly deep of memorable, Blade II represents solid piece of entertainment that would mostly satisfy fans of the original Marvel comic book or action genre in general.

RATING: 5/10 (++)
