The quick style Mtv editing is abundant, and it quickly becomes apparent that you will end up very dizzy by the end of the film. He's obviously being watching too much Mtv too, as he seems far too keen to not allow the audience to know what is going on. Goyer, the man who wrote the first two Blade films has taken the director's chair this time round. However, Blade manages to team up with a ragtag bunch of vampire hunters and together they attempt to thwart Dracula and the rest of the vampires! Oh, and the cops. The plot is messy to say the least, and there's far too much going on for it to be streamlined into an engaging and satisfying story, but nevertheless it follows the vampires as they resurrect legendary bloodsucker Dracula and get Blade into trouble with the cops. The talking scenes in between the action are either small plot details that the film needs to string itself together, or just another action sequence set-up. While the action in the movie is well done and entertaining to watch, when you've seen 45th bad guy being smashed through a window, it loses it's impact somewhat.
For this third instalment, however that perfect balance has been interrupted, and calling this film 'action heavy' would be an understatement. Doing away with the story building of the first one, Blade II captured a nice balance between plot and action and it was an entertaining ride throughout. I was never a big fan of the original 'Blade', but I liked the sequel a lot.
