Goyer, who also wrote the previous film, directed by Guillermo del Toro, and had Wesley Snipes returning as the lead character and producer.

Review bee movie

"My next film's Pinocchio."
"Well shit."
Best lines ever!!
I would be so down for that
That was snarky perfection Good Job, Jim
I don’t mind since the original Pinocchio was a lot more f’ed up than what Disney put out and right up Del Toro’s alley.
He should also do Hunchback. Maybe he'll follow the original story
I’d be more than okay with Disney hiring this man for a Pinocchio remake.
“You’re human?”
“Barely, im a lawyer”
One of my favorite quotes ever!
That's a good quote lol!!
princessthyemis yup 🤣
Who else burst into laughter immediately after hearing that?
Dylan Kaiser ME
Predictable, but delivered perfectly.
That's not bad cgi, Wesley Snipes learned from an eastern holy man how to turn his entire body into rubber. He also taught Keanu how to do it for matrix reloaded.
And taught Tobey McGuire for the Spiderman films
And taught Mr. Fantastic in The Rise of the Silver Surfer
Keanu is not a martial artist. It's clear he just learned the moves for the film like most actors. The cgi didn't look that bad. Wesley snipes is clearly a trained fighter and the jump from his amazing work in the first to the second is jarring.
@@alanlee67 Keanu and the main cast trained in martial arts for six entire months before shooting began for The Matrix. What qualifies someone to you?
Probably even taught Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man as well.
I met Norman Reedus at Emerald City Comic Con about ten years ago. I told him I liked him in "Blade 2." He was pleasantly surprised, and said "Wow, I didn't think anyone even knew I was in that!"
Really nice, friendly guy. Totally chill and down to Earth.
Lucky bastard!
dude is awesome!
That's badass. Everytime I watch this movie I forget that he's in it lol
Still waiting for him to do one more Saints movie, LOL
I never forgot that role. I actually thought it was his breakout performance.
A Blade film directed by Guillermo Del Toro , how much more perfect can you get than that.
Well you can have Norman Reedus in it and oh wait......
Simple: be the guy who destroys the footage of "Cats."
A Blade movie directed by Coralie Fargeat. Boom.
is that a question?
another hellboy movie directed by del toro
Well… we’ll need the Critic to review Blade: Trinity after this
speedingahead oh god this will be fun
speedingahead As well as RIPD and the 2005 remake of the Amityville Horror, so that Ryan Reynolds can sleep better at night.
No one Should see that Monstrosity!
Ah yes, the movie that had the unfunny Rian Reynalds
Oh yeah!!
"my next film is pinnochio"
"Well shit"
Jim is a universal treasure
Saw the trailer, cannot WAIT!
It’s going to be better than the live action remake
@@Blitzo8390 No shit.
But end up being similar with differences
Ha!
"My next film is Pinocchio."
"Well shit..."
I laughed way too hard at that
I guess it was Jim's delivery. Bravo
Well it does have Ron Perlman Finn wolfhard daniel Radcliffe David Bradley and ewan McGregor and it's more faithful to the book with Pinocchio being a mischievous little shit( fun fact the author of The book hated Pinocchio so much in his original draft Pinocchio died but he was forced to change it so Pinocchio lived)
Please please make At the Mountains of Madness.
Yeah, about that.
It's a shame it showed they didn't do the research, because Del Toro's Pinocchio was being made for Netflix, not Disney.
@@alejandrootero8894cringe. .
"Aw, now they'll never finish Silent Hills."
Thanks for reopening an old wound, Critic.
It was never even closed
@@DrDolan2000 I don't know. I heal up really quick.
@@matthewminor6680 theres still death stranding
@@nicolaslabra2225 It's not the same tho. It's just it doesn't make up for what could have been.
@@nicolaslabra2225 Death Stranding is clearly a full on Kojima Project, which is both a good and bad thing. I applaud that it looks ambitious and original enough, but on the other side,so confusing that I seen already 3 trailers and still don't know what the hell it suppose to be. With Silent Hills I already knew what I could expect, since i'm a big fan of the series, but DS feels a little off to me. I will give it the benefit of the doubt, but as it is, I don't think it compensates the loss...
“Some mother truckers always put wasabi on their sushi”
-Blade
Fist
Fuck you
la Sandra Scott No, you and I do hope Blade finds you
Wasabi is awesome tho
Excuse me, isn't that how it's supposed to be?
In Mexico, Del Toro IS the second coming of Jesus... the guy has an enormous heart
He is like everyone's favorite uncle
"I'm pretty sure you've done something great in the last ten minutes" summed up his recent spontaneous donation sprees in a single sentence
Well he has helped more kids that president...
Es el hombre más hermoso
Es una inspiración, una dulzura
Shows what being nice can do for ya!
Malcom’s reaction to Pearlman’s first line is golden.
I know this is probably going to sound really dumb. When I heard that line it didn't even dawn on me it might be a race thing. My first thought was the vampire logic. Only humans and demihumans would be able to blush due to different biology. This review was the first time I heard anyone mention it as a real slur.
@@ElectricBookWorm Exactly.
And now I know a new racial slur!
Yaaaay!
@@ElectricBookWorm same
I was thinking “yes we can” and also must be a vampire thing
I understand that this is a racist slur. However... I don't understand the audiences reaction entirely. I mean, after all Perlman is supposed to play a douchebag and antagonist with a rivalry especially against Blade himself. So... all I get from this line is: Ok Ron Perlmans character is supposed to be an asshole...
“That’s the sound of a man who just remembered he’s Wesley Snipes.” Lost it 😂
I can't believe they forgot to mention vampire Donnie Yen! He was awesome
Just came to write this..and u beat me to it.
@@Adrian-mc1mv no you did not
Forgot yen was in that shit
He played a deaf character in this and then a blind character in Rogue One. You think his next role will be in a wheelchair? WHAT IF HE'S THE NEXT PROF. X?! :O
Even tho he didn't do shit in the movie which is the biggest load of crap
“Don’t worry Deltoro, that’s not going to be you!”
“Yeah, you’re not going to be remaking old properties!”
“My next movie is Pinocchio”
“Well shit”
I’m dead
We’re all doomed
A different adaptation of a well-known fairy tale isn’t a remake.
But it’s not being distributed by Disney.
@@alfeld3729 Well in that case, I'd watch that
Ever since Jim said that it has become my new I'm-finding-plenty-of-opportunities-to-use- in-real-life
The take away here is that the NC watches Miraculous tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir.
Or maybe he just heard about it from somebody.
And that Johnny depp isn't human
@Laz Mann are you familiar with the term “ah-duh”?
Jesse Golo yassss
@@lazarus9165 What?
Say what you want about del Toro, but the Hellboy movies are amazing fun. I love Hellboy.
I'm pretty sure he agrees by what he says at the end. Hellboy 2 and Pacific Rim are a couple of my favorite movies because they are fun!
Nope
The only del Toro film that resonates with me is Pan's Labyrinth.....and to a smaller extent The Devil's Backbone.
His other films don't do it for me.
The Hellboy remake sucked. And I only watched the first 15 minutes before turning it off. Something about it just didn't gel with me.
I will say what I want. He's a beautiful person and I love him.
I always thought the reapers were designed on the original Nosferatu design. Bald, pale skin, pointed ears and light blue eyes
Apart from the mouth thing, I think that's pretty spot on.
9:19 even Wesley Snipes on the DVD commentary was confused why the Powerpuff girls kept showing up on the TV,
Just made up a reason. Reapers were created in a lab to be perfect versions of vampires. Kind of like the Powerpuff girls were created to be perfect girls. And neither one ended up the way the creator intended them to
@@awesomesoxx8776 Huh, I never thought of it that way. O_o
For real?
Guillermo Del Toro really is a big Powerpuff Girls fan. No lie 😁
@@Diggy22, then he's a good man. Original PPG was awesome.
"Can you blush" scene, (not from me) :
"If you listen to the commentary of the DVD with Snipes and Goyer you would understand why Goyer wrote that line in the script. Back when Snipes was doing promotions in Germany for Blade 1 a German guy ask Snipes that exact question “can you blush?” Snipes told Goyer that story so he decided to add it in Blade II. On the commentary track Snipes states he gave the German guy a serious tongue lashing for saying it."
Lol Snipes seems a little sensitive. To someone who doesn't know any black people that could be a legitimate question.
Using a sword handle to fight is an actual technique. There's a lot of medieval art depicting it.
But it's a Japanese style sword
Angie Kelley 1) Yeah but didn’t they use them in medieval times to him them rather than to block repeated slashes
2) European Medieval treaties don’t translate well to non-European swords I would imagine
@@tyrannicfool2503 I was just mentioning that is was a technique. I know that it was unheard of in Asian cultures. I just wanted NC to know it is a valid way of fighting.
@@angiekelley9038 It's not unheard of. In that fight, the vampire was using 2 swords and blade used the sheath in one hand to just block with and his silver sword to attack with. Make sure when you say something isn't valid that it's not valid.
Yeah, it was to harm the armor of medieval knights, as the handle acted as a hammer to dent their protection so they may kill them.
I never knew that line “Can you blush?” was a racial slur, I always thought it was about them being vampires and Blade being half-human.
Wow... that Silent Hills joke got me right in the feels.... :(
Ron Pearlman squee-ing justified, but you missed a member of the bloodpack being legit DONNIE YEN.
look again
Crashlinevas Holy moly you’re right! How did I miss that? (16:01 & 17:11 for those who are curious!)
Well, he is criminally underused in this movie. Easy to see how you could miss him.
Pre ip man.lol
Who has one fight and then dies like a punk. Really one of my only complaints about this film.
@@biffyqueen This is because they are meant to operate as a unit, not as individuals. Each member of the Blood Pact seems to specialize with a different type of weapon or style, which is a typical strategy when facing a very well rounded opponent, like Blade, as they are presumably stronger in those individual styles, if not stronger than Blade himself.
You give norman reedus a baby and you get a very confusing hiking simulator, made by Hideo kojima.
Aaaaand now we know why Kojima and Del Toro are best buds.
@HateSolstice127 I hope so
@@seb24789 This episode was missing a Kojima appearance alongside Tim Burton's one
Would you like to review The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (1999)? This was my all-time favorite movie when I was little. Now...20 years later...I remember nothing. I’d bet it doesn’t hold up!
Wow you just took me down memory lane. Same, loved that movie
HOLY CARP YES! I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED THIS UNTIL NOW, BUT GIVE IT TO ME.
It holds up simple because of nostalgia
Tajnea Foster it actually does for me
Holy crap... I kind of remember the plot. I do know I watched that one a lot as a kid
Why was Guillermo Del Toro not involved in Universals Dark Universe?
Because it would actually be good.
Because he knew it would be bad
But no it's because Hollywood is a very old boys network and does t really accept new people for big works very easily
I think it is because the Dark universe format would have been to restrictive for him.
Jared Samples 🤣🤣🤣I agree
"You dare blasphemy DelToro"
The script should've read "You dare blaspheme DelToro"
I can only wait for the inevitable review of Blade: Trinity.
Scottie Moseley hopefully next week
So how many Stargate jokes can be milked from that anyway?
Sad thing is that blade 3 was never made
Excited for the Triple H jokes!
@@tipulsar85 why Stargate?
- Are you human?
- Barely, I'm a lawyer.
And critic's reaction. Both hilarious.
Павел Леонович best line in the movie
😂
He works for Wolfram and Hart from Angel.
Someone tell Legal Eagle.
Maybe I'm the only one who stuck around to the post credit scene, where the baldi vampires dance in a music video... It's kinda weird tho
Cant wait for the review of Blade Trinity to come out....
in 3 years
Just in time for the reboot.

@@jodyboles8208 yes from Marvel

Del Toro and Burton making a movie together? That is what awsome means
fgfg - yeah dude. I wish that would happen.
It think them together would be a hot mess. They're too prideful of their style and their work.
A very malliable director would be someone like Spielberg or and maybe even Cameron.
@@seraby7151 But just imagine them working on say Moon Knight
Now I'm really looking forward for the day you review Blade Trinity. I can already imagine the Deadpool cameo.
Maybe I'm the only one who stuck around to the post credit scene, where the baldi vampires dance in a music video... It's kinda weird tho
What about Detective Pikachu?
12:53 It's sad that this is closest we'll get to a Blade/Hellboy crossover.
Just take it just take all my money
If that ever happens, you know what would be a good name for it? HellBlade! (Purposely spelled like that)
And the even sadder thing is that Blade 3 is the closest we'll get to a Blade/Deathpool crossover
Hellboy has crossed over before with Batman, Starman, the TMNT (through Injustice), Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Savage Dragon. A Blade crossover isn't entirely out of the question.
@@IamaPERSON Hello there
Del Toro met Norman Reedus while making this film, and that's why years later, Del Toro was invited to Death Stranding? Small world.
“Oh, now they’ll never finish Silent Hills.”
You mock my pain!
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
It's now called Death Stranding, and not owned by Konami. I wonder how Kogima's work will be like without Konami's greedy influence.
@@teneesh3376 it will be fucking crazy i mean, just see all the trailers and gameplays they already release and no one knows bat shit what the game is about
@@teneesh3376 no its not called Death Stranding as that's a completely different game. I would much rather have Silent Hills.
@@zedrow69 woosh
The Blade sequel not that many people talk about .
Because the one after it sucked, & not the vampire way.
My favorite Blade film honestly
Nathaniel Foga what about the 3rd one ?
Best of the trilogy 🤘
@@clarecarey2594 everybody talk about the 3rd because of how bad it is, that's the point.
Originality isn't always an entirely new story, but a unique way of telling it. Shape of Water has similarities to Creature from Black Lagoon, but the story it tells and how it does is is what makes it so different.
*pats head*
That's why the virtue signalling bit rubbed me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, anyone can be criticized but Shape of Water was a great movie and the shots, effects, and acting were all top notch.
Daniel I. Brizuela I think he notices very, very, very eerily close similarities, then. If you have that, it does hard to make it sound like it’s just a reference or just being inspired by. Either that or it is jus the hype.
Well the two movies are similar, except Del Toro wanted to see the relationship between the woman and creature succeed
"Originality isn't always an entirely new story, but a unique way of telling it." Just like Black Lagoon! The anime.
Such an underrated movie - first two Blade films were really good.
25:31 Sorry for being a pain in the ass but that's a suplex, not a bodyslam
that may be so, but if he'd said 'suplex' I wouldn't have had a clue what he meant!
A delayed vertical duplex, at that
The Mudpit if he would’ve called it the correct name, then people who didn’t know the move would now know what it’s called. Imagine someone seeing this move after this review. They would incorrectly call it a bodyslam in front of someone who knew what it was called, and they’d call that person an idiot.
If Doug ever brings back the top 11 fuck up, this is going to be one of them!!! XD
Thank you.
I mean... it might have been a triple insult.
1: Racial Skin
2: Racial Vampire
3: Could have been a gay joke. lol
How so in a gay joke?
It's a racial joke. Wesley stated that it was based on a comment some Australian guy said to him.
Either way Malcolm's line to it was great. Lol
@@dustyrose192 I guess people back then thought gays were all feminine and feminine = makeup, hence blush
“My next film is Pinocchio”
“Well shit” *smiling off into the distance”
That delivery absolutely killed me
I thought "Can you blush?" line was a reference to Blade not feeding on blood and using a serum to battle his hunger.
Those type of jokes was allowed back then before pansy a$$es took over. People are way sensitive these days.... To everything
summerbuddies ARMYBUDDY - How is it not a slur though?
@@sunnybear178 I want to say you're making a joke, but I don't think you are. And in that case, a slur (noun) is a word that's used in a way to insult someone, in this case, calling a white person a "cracker." So, yeah, yeah, it is. Might not rank it as a "bad" word (like how some people won't consider the idea that you can be racist to white people), but it's a slur nonetheless.
@@cloudrat7 Yea there is a huge bunch of different stuff that was normal and no big deal at all in the 80s, 90s and the 2000s that is now seen as wrong and inappropriate and you never see it in western media anymore.
i thought it had something to do with him being half vampire lol
14:00 - Another thing about that "Can You Blush?" line - according to Wesley Snipes himself, it's supposedly based on a real incident he had with a Neo-Nazi skinhead.
I need to watch this video now....
If that's true then it's actually meaningful that the director weaved that into the story. I just thought it was to make us hate that particular character like NC suggested.
Good question... can black people blush?
Swift Nimblefoot Google it.
@@SwiftNimblefoot And that's why Blade killed him...
I accidentally walked in on The Shape of Water
Right when the sex scene was going on 😹
I still can't get over that...
A similar thing inspired the creation of Giygas
How was your first taste of beastiality? Do you feel like you're going to jail like me and so many other people?
Hopefully years of therapy will get my kids through it.... I was hoping they'd just repress the memory like a normal, well-adjusted child would.
Did you get a fishy feeling when you walked in on that?
@@Sungura_Kaiser ah, another EarthBound fan. A man of culture, I see.
I never thought of the "can you blush" line was racist XD just thought because he was part human.
Granted I was a dumb kid.
I still think it's a jab at him being half vampire.
I honestly didn't know it was a racial slur until I saw the drama for this on the internet. I still don't see the slur, black people do blush 🤷🏽♂️, my native language is Spanish so I guess there is some cultural background to it that escapes me (like when an English speaker says "negro" which, saying black in Spanish is suddenly an insult somehow?)
Right, I’ve never even heard that before. When I heard it here I was like, oh, because he’s half human, of course.
@@TheBayzent lol “all of a sudden” you must not have seen the historical context of the use of the word “negro” as a derogatory term to demean black people, don’t be naive.
@@TheBayzentit’s a bit more complicated than that. You’d have to go through American history to get why this one’s a particular nuke button for them
Ladybug and chat noir reference
Love that kids show for how cheesy and fun it is
Highly addictive too
Strangely fun series. Gives me Danny Phantom flashbacks
Now, who saw the latest episode from San Diego Comic Con?
midajah hayden I loved it
Its a ripoff of Sailor Moon, like at all!
I always thought the "Can you blush?" line had to due with the fact he was half vampire.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461
How? Blade 2 came out years before Batman V Superman
Yes, but of course it was also meant to be a racist line. The ting is today people get offended by everything, when in fact Perlman's line was supposed to be racist, as he's one of the villains. Getting offended by it as if things like that are not "supposed" to be said is the worst kind of censorship and oppression. It's like idiots all over the place getting offended by the use of the word "nigger" in Django Unchained, when it was totally normal for the time period the movie takes place in. Anyway, language and thought censorship are not acceptable anywhere, unlike SJWs (read modern-day Nazi) like to think.
@@ieatbugs8948 Yeah, my mistake. Already changed the comment.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 *Juss cause it was “normal” back then doesn’t make it right. I think you’re smart enough to understand that. Also it’s still normal today, they’re juss better at hiding now..*
Kudos on the subtle Red Dwarf reference when Danny John Jules shows up, Doug!
I was so happy, haha. I hope he does The Little Shop of Horrors at some point and makes another reference (I spotted Danny John-Jules as a back-up dancer in that one).
I remember seeing trailers for this movie back in 2002 when I was 6. From what I saw in the trailers, I thought Blade as an ass-kicking trenchcoat-wearing mysterious black guy; I think I had a crush on him a bit. But, since the movie was rated R, I didn't get to see it, so I compromised by creating my own character based on Blade called (IIRC) "Slayer" who looked a lot like him. I would write stories about him on Microsoft Word (but since I was 6, he was in childish situations. I didn't know Blade hunted vampires back then) and he even showed up in a comic I wrote about Swayzak (from Toonami); but by the time I wrote that comic, I had largely forgotten about him and Blade. It was just a stroke of luck I remembered him. I even forgot about him until I saw this review (alongside vague recognition when I was watching the first Blade review earlier.) Yeah.
Do you still have what you wrote about?
I always forget that Donnie Yen choreographed and appears this film.
The LEGEND. I''d have loved to see Wesley & Donnie go at it on screen.
@@Batman88878 They did. He was in the black ninja outfit, despite it being his teammate's character.
"now they will never gonna finish Silent Hills"... Too soon, Doug... Too soon.
He could've waited for ten years to make this joke and it still would be too soon.
#Fuckonami
It's okay it's just called Death Stranding now.
Which by the way was supposed to be made by del Toro as well!
More like too late because Silent Hills was canceled almost 2 years ago, especially with Kojima being kicked out.
Ok! Now you need to review Blade: Trinity!
The worst one
Ray walker yep, he review X Men The Last Stand and X Men Origins Wolverine he needs to review Blade: Trinity.
probably in 3 years because 1. it took him 3 years between the first one an d the sequel and 2. because in 3 years is the probable release date of the MCU Blade
The first movie that made people think Ryan Reynolds couldn’t be a superhero.
No one needs to watch that
17:16 I think by “are you kidding me” he meant that he was fond of seeing ANOTHER vampire night club
16:30 Actually It's the fact that he's not a vampire, that they were worried about. "He'll never pass as one of us".
@@MarioKonga No. Not that specific fact.
Maybe it is because I am not from USA, but "Can you blush" line was for me a reference for Blade's human part.
Nah, I AM from the USA, and it's the same.
The 'racist' aspect of it is a reach and a half. It'd be like saying a character is racist for saying 'bottom of the totem pole' to a native.
Yeah, it's...racist... but that's not the point of the line. Double meaning.
As someone is who from the USA, I can say that was also my thought.
I thought that it was a turn on"can you bleed"
For all of that "I'm from US and never knew about that either" folks, how many of you are white? Asking only so I cna ask if it's possible that you dont know the context becuase it's not something you've ever actually had to know. Not a dig or a drag, just pointing out that it's more of a cultural issue than a geographical one.
@@xdestoryer6668 Of course it is. People these days love to read gender politics into everything.
11:33 - That Red Dwarf Reference had me Rolling on the Floor Laughing. Out of No Where, Perfect timing.
Critic needs to review Hellboy (2019)!
*red dwarf reference rolling gloor laughing out no where perfect
When I was younger, I had no idea who Wesley Snipes was, so whenever I saw this movie, I thought he was P. Diddy
That just makes it better
Blade is so cool, he wears sunglasses in a dark sewer.
He does Corey Hart proud.
Blade is so cool, his glasses stay on when taking punches to the face
Vampiric night vision works differently. He doesn't see like we. He releases a sonic wave from his mouth:
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
It’s part of his power set. Sorta like ghost rider’s whole thing is “being too metal for the laws of physics”
He just uses sunglasses because he also uses Sun granades.
Blade 2 was effin awesome. The CGI is not that great, but idk it has a charm to it.
"Well THAT raised the awesome to Jesus surfing on a dinosaur."
Best line, hands down.
“That raised the awesome to Jesus surfing on a dinosaur. “
what Doug fails to get is that Del Toro's Reapers are a nod to the OG vampire, Nosferatu who was bald, mute and ghoulishly pale.
Has to be hippie Jesus surfing on a dinosaur for maximum effect. Heck, since we're on this channel, just make it Santa Christ instead.
Blade 3...you know you have to finish the unholy trinity.. .and the best snipes jokes you can do.
I have the feeling Doug never was a wrestling fan. Calls a suplex a bodyslam and doesnt call out the elbow drop in the final fight.
Don't worry Doug, i still like you.
he also threw a jab at wrestling in his Children of the Corn review when he criticized the fight for looking fake. He said "Come on, any less real & WWE will be knocking at your door."
Also yeah This film also was the casting call for the hellboy movies.

Same tho

I only got one real complaint with Blade 2: the criminal underuse of Donnie Yen.
Seriously, you get Donnie Yen, and give him only half of a poorly lit fight scene and a stab-in-the-back death!?
John McCarron what
John McCarron that’s like when you get Jackie Chan for the Kung Fu Panda movies and underuse him just as highly
No wonder he wasn't even mentioned in this review.
I complained about this too. Then The Force Awakens came out and had the cast of The Raid playing space pirates that get eaten by a giant hentai monster in 2 minutes.
I forgive Blade 2.

Just replace characters talking with awesome set pieces and it'll be PERFECT
I dunno why you use the plot references as a negative. Del Toro has always been open about his inspirations.
he got best original screenplay for something that was taken from a play
Maryann Ferrara that was disproven in court and he has been on record saying that he never saw the play.
@@deadpool630 it wasnt disproven there just wasnt enough evidence (which is very different) and anyone can go on record saying anything. you've seen the similarities, havent you?
Maryann Ferrara you mean deaf janitor falls in love with a creature in a lab and shows the connection that two outsiders can make in a cruel and uncaring world. Yeah... but the basic set-up isn’t something impossible to replicate not knowing the play.
@@deadpool630 but in making a movie I truly feel it is a responsibility to at least talk about the premise with outsiders (eventually someone would have been like "oh that sounds familiar") and do personal research to be sure they arent infringing on anybody, and if they find out they are ITS OK but they should at least acknowledge that their idea is not entirely original. I feel directors should have the integrity to admit their mistakes and look for similarities before making a movie
Wow. Right after the Mahershala Ali announcement. This is like perfect timing!
+Adam Grunther Yep! We filmed this last week or maybe we had insider knowledge from Disney......
The what and who now?
@@taags Marvel Phase 4 announced a lot of new movies. Blade is one of them. Mahershala Ali will play as Blade.
FUN FACT: The fat vampire at 26:51 is Santiago Segura, a Spanish actor who has his own series of Comedy movies (Torrente 1-5) but is only really famous in Spain. There is a scene in the movie where Santiago segura talks to another vampire through a metal door in some vampire lenguage, one of the words he says is "Torrente Tres", referring to his current movie at the time Torrente 3. XD
Critic, that's a suplex that Blade used not a body slam.
its a vertical one :)

I LOVE Malcolm!!! This whole review is great, but Malcolm in this moment is just awesome!
I LOVE Guillermo del Toro work. Especially Hellboy 1 and 2 and The Shape Of Water.
NC needs to review Hellboy (2019)! It’s terrible!
@@jamesschrader8667 Personally I saw it as an enjoyable mess and it did get me into the source material
@@jamesschrader8667 I agree completely. I actually even forgot that was a movie because of how bad and forgettable it was.
I think one of my favorite things about del Toro's style of filmmaking is that he primarily uses practical effects for many scenes involving monsters and other supernatural elements and they look freakin' phenomenal. He usually reserves the use of CGI for shots that are deemed too complicated for practical effects alone. He's like the anti-Lucas in that regard.
@@SapphireDragonDX That's what I like too. It usually makes the movie more memorable for me. Not to mention I can enjoy all the cool monster designs that don't look like bad CGI crap.
13:21 To answer the "Can you blush?" Question, it's actually BOTH. It's a double reference to Blade being half vampire AND black. Clever, but also yikes. It says so in Reinhardt's wiki page in the trivia section.
Clever, yes. But a massive train wreck of potential implications, fuzzy meanings, and general distraction from the movie.
@@Fluffkitscripts kinda like when the reviewers friend calls him a cracker
People are butthurt so easy. I'm sure Wesley Snipes was fine with it. If he wasn't he'd said something while they were filming. People read to much into things man.
Castennin when did I ever say that?!
i like racist jokes
I'm looking forward to Del Toro's Pinnocio mainly because it is a stop motion animated film.
This is a different adaptation being made for NETFLIX and is not the upcoming Disney remake. The Pinnocio rights are public domain and can't be owned by Disney

Casper: TIMING!
Oh god I missed his previous running jokes like:
.Having the burger king pop up everytime he says "Elephant"
.The Big Lipped Alligator Moment
.Linkara and Spoony joining him whenever he reviews a Uwe Boll flick
.Chuck Norris
.I'm acting!
Those were the good days
@@inky5574 don't forget
Boomer... will live.
@@somewittyfella5118 BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BOOMER JOKE!?!
The Boomer Joke ... is dead, we'll get you another one.
Yeah I really really miss the Casper gag, I recently watched the Child's Play reviews and it was so very very sad.
Reminded me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer....

@@javelinmaster2 like tears, in the rain...
R.I.P.
That "Pinocchio" joke is now out of time and place. 😁 His "Pinocchio" is awesome. 😍😍
I thought the "Do you blush?" line was about him being a living vampire/dhampyr, not him being black.
I didn't know the slur at the time
I always took it to mean that blade should blush because he was in the presence of a group that was trained to kill him. As in : this is all because of you, are you embarrassed by your popularity. At least that's the way I took it every time I've seen this flick.
11:35 Was that a Red Dwarf reference? You legend!
He made references to Red Dwarf before (even in his forbidden child years in his home movies).
"They've taken the smeg.." 😂 I would've totally accepted this movie if Kryten was the other vampire who sneaked in...
Think of Guillermo del toro as a sort of dj. Sure, the movies are remixes, but they’re remixed in ways that really separate them from the originals, and even use the similarities to draw interesting parallels, ask questions, and encourage the audience to think. Basically he’s a remix master.
on a serious note I would like to see Del Toro and Burton do a movie together. to different stile united as one
What happens when the haunted mansion ride changes over to the nightmare before Christmas ride for the holidays
Night Light9 ... I want Beetlejuice 2, but with the cast of the musical instead of the movie, cause the people from the movie are older now
@@Foxy02016 and one of them is wheelchair bound
“Pans Labyrinth = Alice in Wonderland” are.... Are you real?! Did you even watch that movie??
I would have been more entertained if somebody shot Alice dead unlike the little girl in Pan's Labyrinth
Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Spiirited Away, The Nutcracker, Jim Henson's Labyrinth...Pan's Labyrinth is basically a new spin on the "girl sent to a magical world" trope.
Reg Fife except she was never in that magical world. It may have been inspired by Alice in Wonderland but Pan’s Labyrinth was its own, brilliant, thing. That movie spends more time in the real world dealing with dark shit that it ever did in its “Wonderland” even.

@@AlexRN The part where the dude mashes a guy's face to a pulp with a bottle while he's held standing up gave me more nightmares than anything else in that movie...
For some reason, Malcom saying 'cracker' amuses the hell out of me.
Eh... maybe not.
Ha, I forgot that Guillermo del Toro directed Blade II. This was hilarious.
Great timing. I just hope Blade is done right in the MCU. Along with any other characters they finally add into the movies.
Yeah. The first thing that probably needs clarification is this: Will it be R-rated?
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 Probably not
@@darthcinema4262 Considering Deadpool 3 will be R-Rated, it probably will.
When I was a kid I thought that the "can you blush joke?" was because to the vampires Blade was like a super serious boogeyman and he never smiled or never say him smile.
Now I know it's a race thing. Thanks I guess.
That's exactly what I thought as well.
Could be all 3.
I always have thought that it is clearly a reference to vampires being unable to blush, not having a pulse and being undead and all that. And he is just pointing out that Blade is not one of them (a true vampire). Btw, Del Toro is not from the USA, and not used to such sensitivity around the subject, so maybe he didn't even realize it could be interpreted as racist (I am from europe, and didn't get the race slur thing until it was pointed out to me)
I also thought it was the blood circulation in cheeks that makes one blush, a vampire would be und3ad and lack that. Made perfect sense to me lol
i honestly thought it was simply a stab on him being a halfbreed.
See, after this I really want to see you review the Resident Evil series if you haven't already
Personally I would like to see him review Silent Hill the movie 🤔
@@gokusondbz Why not both?
Deep Blue Sea... I am waiting, and waiting, and waiting...
25:30 "pushing up my nitpicking glasses" that my good sir is a suplex not a bodyslam........ that is all
Blade II is nothing compared to Another Cinema Snob Movie
God, I wish Guillermo del Toro did more projects with Norman Reedus. I wonder if Reedus can use his friendship with Hideo Kojima to maybe start something... Hmmmmmmmmm?????
I think he's in Death Stranding
@@kristismith3662 A character based on him is, but del Toro himself didn't voice/mo cap him. Because of all times del Toro has tried to get a video game off the ground only for things to go wrong, he's declared that he's "video game poison" and won't try to work on one again. He's still friends with Kojima, though.
Silent hill remake?
They’ve taken the smeg. My absolute favorite reference. Red Dwarf is one of my favorite shows.
Same
Spot on!
That ladybug and chat noir mention caught me off guard. Did not expect that in a Blade 2 review😂😂
