'Blade II' is a good follow-up to the 1998 predecessor. I'd personally say that the plot in this 2002 flick isn't as good, but is still entertaining in its own right and is portrayed by a stronger cast. Wesley Snipes is Wesley Snipes, brilliant. Behind him, Ron Perlman stands out.

I didn't know Norman Reedus was in this, love him in 'The Walking Dead' - he elevates an otherwise forgettable character. Another favourite of mine is here too, as Matt Schulze of 'The Fast and the Furious' fame appears. I also recognised Karel Roden, who distractingly has his lines dubbed by a British actor - very odd!

Lastly, I have to commend the special effects. The majority of which is admittedly as passable as was the case for 'Blade', but the new addition of that effect for the reaper mouths is outstanding - it genuinely still holds up to today. Very impressive.
