I freakin love Blade 2. It's my fav Blade movie. Them slow walking into that night club with "Against I" playing in the background felt so iconic to me.
Mos Def killed that shit. Nomak is my favorite Blade villain
HAnds down the best one! This was so fucking awesome!
Best Mos Def song and he has a lot of really good songs.
Jared Nomak is really underrated as a villain. The actor does really well showing the character's strenght, anger and vulnerability.
Luke Goss plays Nomak
Luke goss really played Jared Nomak to perfection wish he didn't die
4real when he said it hurts no more after pushing the blade n2 his heart
Yeah Luke Goss and Wesley Snipes' performances are the only good things about this film. Luke is terrific in it.
I agree
Blade 2 is the definition of a sequel done right. Great characters, great action, simple but awesome villains.
Then we got 3 😂😂
@420Worlds lol which only makes Blade 2 look even better
facts
Idk about that
@@thegreatacolyt1277why
Curious fact: Del Toro didn't want to do this film. But his manager convince him to do it so he could have more freedom in future projects. His Hellboy movie wouldn't have happened if not for Blade II.
Alot of good directors sometimes have to make that " I gotta prove myself movie" to do their dream project. Hollywood amirite?
Blade is a very important series
I remember seeing this 20 years ago and being blown away...still holds up to this day. The reapers are possibly the coolest and creepiest design for a vampire ever. I love the opening with Nomak in the blood bank. Set the tone for the whole movie
I think Blade 2 is my favorite vampire movie of all time. I absolutely love every single thing about it.
This was one of those times that a sequel was even more memorable than the 1st
This is definitely a kick ass sequel that builds and expands the lore and story from the first one. Perlman is the beast and snipes is at his best. Can't wait to hear you defend trinity!
Love it!!!! Blade 2 was AMAZING! On par, if not better than the original! Visuals were more detailed, and easy to get into. One of my all time favorites! Great video Boss!
I love Blade II and I watch it on repeat in addition to loving the soundtrack
Definitely the best chapter in the trilogy. Blade is at his best in this one, Nomak is a great main villian, Ron Perlman is great, and this film has the only vampire death in the whole trilogy that you actually feel sorry for when they die… Nyssa.
This is not just my favorite blade but one of my favorite marvel movies
The even better sequel to the 1998 hit superhero action horror flick.
A rare example of sequels that are better than the original
Luke Goss was great in Hellboy 2
Blade 2 by far the best its scary an just pure gold to me👏
its so nice to see how your channel has grown. I first discovered you like 3-4 years ago. keep up the good work!
I have a distinct memory of first watching this with my dad at home on rental. The opening scene was gory and scary to me and then the club sequence FREAKED me out. So, Del Toro succeeded. I couldn’t finish the movie for years lol
Now I LOVE it lol
I'm looking forward towards your review on blade trinity I'm sure that will be a fun watch
Ah. The first R rated movie I snuck into. Good times and a great movie.
nicee
Amazing ep, as always. I love your content! Thank you once more for all the much needed laughs and entertainment. Also where did you get that badass t-shirt?! Viva the Frog Bros, my dude! 👍🏻😁
Great content! It’s really high in my 31 of this May! Cody, are you going to review Silver Bullet before the 31 on 31? Also, would you consider making a The Two Corey’s top 10 movies?! Love this channel
Blade 2 was one of my favorites as a youngster 🔥
I love love love Blade 2. Funny thing too, I also had my grandma buy the video game for me lol I thought it was a badass game back in the day, I loved it! Haha I haven’t revisited it since but I did watch gameplay and yeahhh I can say it didn’t age very way 😂
Dude I had the game too and I freaking loved it the fighting feature using the sticks instead of buttons was the shit once u got the hang of it
I thought Blade 2 was a decent follow-up from Blade. I love the Reapers as they are an interesting take on vampirism and why wouldn't vampire try to create a stain that would make them immune to garlic, silver and daylight. The Reapers do remine me of the vampires (Strigoi) from the TV show The Strain.
One of the best sequels ever for sure. Love Blade
Blade 2 is a great sequel but I personally like the 1st film better. The first one captures the action horror tone of the comics better in my opinion, this one is more of a straight up action film.
I love this movie so much. It was a perfect blend of building from the first movie and adding new stuff and keeping things on point. This is my favorite Blade movie.
This sequel is perfection to me. That opening will always reign supreme. Great review and I will never stop rewatching this movie of all my favorites.
💯
Great breakdown Cody I absolutely love this movie too.
Still kinda bugs me that a few scenes I saw in the cinema were removed from the DVD version but definitely a 10 outta 10 movie in my book.
The ps2 game is like the punisher game. Lo❤em both!!! Punisher being the superior experience of course
Glad I got to see blad 2 in the theater. Was epic,great sound track,great story and action/horror.
Nice review. I love this movie and revisit once in awhile. Hahaha in the club scene only one vampire recognized Blade and ran out of there. I believe it was the same one from the beginning and end of the film. I never saw the first Blade movie but I could totally tell they were rushing through the Whistler story. Maybe they shortened it for runtime purposes? But to make it believable could someone get over the thirst over night? Haha, I don't know, but probably not. Good job though on the review.
Guillermo del Toro made 2 awesome comic book sequels.
Blade 2 and Hellboy 2.
Saw this movie in the theater with my dad when it released and we both loved it. Ron Perlman is always awesome, and he was great in this movie too.
I don’t understand Wesley Snipes complained about having sidekicks in Blade Trinity but that was just two characters Jessica Bial and Ryan Reynolds’s but on Blade 2 he has 7 sidekicks and he has to share screen time with Ron Perlman and Donnie Yen.
Cody if you love the reaper vamps in blade 2 you will love the strain. Vampires are so much alike and guess what directed bye same dude. The vampires in the strain are also very terrifying...
The first Blade is my favorite, but Nomak gives Blade a fight
I find it funny how one movie can bog down an entire trilogy when 2 thirds of it is considered at best guilty pleasures with some to a great deal of genuine pleasure (love these movies) with fans and horror movie fanatics
Blade 2 is so badass. It’s one of best Super-Hero movies ever. Snipes was badass as Blade.
Love your passion for these Marvel films Cody.
4:15 Nomak and Nyssa's dad was basically a vampire Ra's Al Ghul.
Anybody notice the similarities to Luke Goss’s Nomak and his whole family dynamic in Blade 2 with the character he plays in Hellboy: The Golden Army? Almost seems like Del Toro used Blade 2 as a primer for Hellboy 2.
Watched it for the first time as prep for 31on31, and this rules. Will definitely be high on my personal ranking, and I can imagine high on Cody his ranking as well after this review
In that club scene i just assumed that since Blade rolled up with the Blood Pack the people in the club thought everything was cool
Yeah. Makes sense
My favourite vampire movie of all time! (Despite it's faults). I think it's fair to say that Del Toro is a genius. It's worth listening to his commentary Cody as not only are his commentaries always entertaining, but he also addresses all your "mixed" and "negative" aspects. My favourite comment was when he spoke about Whistler's resurrection. He said, "If you're looking for screen logic, then go and watch Steven Speilberg. But if you just wanna have fun, then come and see Blade 2 the kick ass movie!). awesome!!! 😀
This was my favorite Blade movie and favorite Marvel movie too. The Punisher with Dolph Lundren is my 2nd favorite, then Winter Soldier.
Now that's different
When it comes to the 31 on 31 if the werewolf & vampire movies don't include "WER" or "Blood Red Skies" two of the best Werewolf and Vampire movies made in the last decade then I truly believe these guys and or girls need to up their movie watching game. "WER" alone doesn't get talked about enough as one of the best Werewolf movies ever made. Now that being said if they do bring them up, I'd like my crow with a side of hashbrowns and sausage gravy. Mmmmmm sausage gravy.
This is actually just a post to get more people to watch these 2 movies. Mad respect for Mr. Leach and what he does.
If this new blade bombs we can always have this to turn to
Agreed! On ALL counts!!
Blade 2 is my favourite out of all the Blade movies.
I absolutely love this movie (best in series)! Although Donny Yen was criminally underused.
ALL my n***** love Blade 2 😫😫😫😫
Leonor Varela tho...man she was fine as hell in this movie. If I was Blade I would've hooked up with her no hesitation
I think there was a planned love scene
Love this film! Definitely best sequel ever and one of those rare films that you can watch at any moment, and it's still brilliant. Blade 2 is definitely the best Blade film, I'd love to see more Wesley Snipes Blade Films if they could match the quality of the original Blade
Hey cody are you going to review the van helsing movie next because I saw it on your list as well as Stephen king's silver bullet and 30 days of night and the underworld movies
Nomac:"Vampires...... I hate Vampires" OMG I LOVE THIS MOVIE, Cody have you ever watched 'The Strain' tv series and comic so cool
My Favorite Blade Movie!
FUN FACT: Did you know that Michael Jackson was gonna have a cameo in this movie? This would've been the 2nd time Wesley and Michael worked together.
Thank God Michael chose to appear in MiB 2. 😏 Lol!
Fitting shirt, haha. Blade II was on repeat on my PS2! Cannot wait for yalls next [31 on 31]
God I love Blade 2 this movie is amazing I love the look of the reaper vampires in this movie they’re so terrifying and badass I am also a big fan of Luke Goss he does great as Jared Nomak I also love him in Hellboy 2 as Prince Nuada
Love Ron Perlman in this,and SOT Clay is an iconic character
I love blade 2 but Deacon Frost was that guy.
I agree I liked blade but I really like blade 2. I've alway's preferred blade 2 and I think it's the best blade film of the 3. Blade and blade 2 are pretty close in quality for me but if I had to pick one I'd say blade 2.
Great review as always. Love blade 1 and 2.
Aww I really loved the Blade 2 game when I was young
Luke Goss is an incredible villain Nomak in this epic movie and so damn scary
You obviusly do not know WHO YOU F*CKIN WITH! Because Cody nailed with Blade II review again😎 All things you said is my thoughts about Blade II even with video game wich I had almost the same experience😂 G Del Torro did great job with sequel with awesome characters. One nitpick.....Donnie Yen was so so underused here😒 and CGI fight Blade VS Assad and Nyssa is looking too smooth and rubbery but other CGI effects are not bad. Agree also with Whistler return, one scene in movie like retrospective with Whistler tried kill himself but he couldn't because he was too weak and passed out and then turn to vampire would fix this issue easly. Anyway Great review and can't wait if you hit bullseye third time with Blade Trinity😎Cheers bro💪
PS: Did you see Blade The series with Sticky Fingaz?😆
The blade 2 playstation 2 game was THE SHIT, it has an awesome (once u get the hang of it)fighting feature where u rotate the sticks instead of just mashing different buttons, dudecant believe u hated that game it was a little funky until u got the hang of it and then u realized how awesome the fighting feature was...
My favourite is still the original but the sequel is good too!!!
That main villain in this movie is such as. Badass. So fun and so physical he just has this energy around him so cool
I love all three movies. The characters, the action and the comedy. All three are in heavy rotation at my house.
3 is an unintentional comedy,jokes and a lack of wesley and a terrible villain and reynolds, you have poor taste
This is the first and second time I've seen you rock a t-shirt that isn't all black.
I LOVED this movie growing up. Great action
I thank the reason they don't freak out from blade is the blood lust while they're there in the club.
my fav of the trilogy actualy , great film
Crazy i was just watching Blade 2 last night. The fight scenes r so dope
My older brother worked in the theater the summer this came out. I got to see it four times and it's a perfect sequel !! I never understood the hate this movie got either.
I wonder if Cody will do the direct to DVD blade? Or as I call it butter knife.😂 it makes trinity look like a master piece.
Is this the animated movie or the 2006 live action tv series?
I am surprised true blood didn't copy the reaper vampires for their final season when vampires had their version of vampire aids.
Nomack was the deadliest villain blade ever face..he was so strong he almost killed blade
Idk if you know this but the guy from the fast and the furious was also in the first blade. He played the guy that says I got his pig sticker then get his hand choped off by the booby trap
He was also n Ghost Rider
Hey Cody, have you done a review on From Dusk Til Dawn? 🤔
I watched this in theaters and it was such a dope time
Loved Guillermo Del Toro's vision he had for this film
9:57 And Trinity makes it pointless by having him kill himself by blowing up his and Blade's hideout to try and save Blade from the FBI agents who think he's a serial killer but Blade gets arrested anyway.
What is going on, I'm agreeing with literally all of your takes for like the past few months! I have to agree again that blade 2 is the best blade. Absolutely fantastic film that holds up remarkably well to this day.
Kris Kristofferson is ridiculously talented. I think he's the best character.
Thank you
Been waiting for this one 😊
You should review Dog Soldiers! Best werewolf movie!
can argue that most people at the club were drugged or drunk out of their minds to notice blade. also the one bald Czech dude from the start and end noticed him at the club and freaked out lol
Its been so long since I've been this early, that I can't even think of anything clever to say.
Love Blade 2, Cody - thanks !
At this point I'm not even sure if Marvel's Blade film will ever see the light of day at this point. Especially now with these writer strikes. Really love blade and and the original 3. Always got them but I really want Marvel to get the ball going with Blade. Why is it taking so long. Pretty much getting into the black Adam scenario. Should have had Blade by now.
I remember my mom being asked r u sure u wanna be taking ur children to this film at the ticket booth 😂
My second favorite vampire film i love blade 2 but the lost boys is still no.1.
The first and third movie were based in America so I could understand the vampires there knowing who blade is 2 took place in some European country right? So I think they’d know who blade is just not what he looked like.
For me VhD: Bloodlust is still the best vampire movie sequel of all time. Blade 2 is good, a great vampire movie but underwhelming as a martial arts flick. As someone who grew up with alot of Asian cinema I have a certain standert that's more in line with the 1st one. The way they treat Donnie Yen is also more than enough for me to put this below the original.
Yea I wanted 2 see Donnie fight lighthammer
It’s weird seeing Cody in a white shirt haha
I just know you going RIPPP Blade 3 to shreds😂😂 love all 3 to be honest
