“Blade II” definitely lacks the novelty of its predecessor, but there’s still plenty to love about Wesley Snipes‘ sophomore outing as the stylish vampire slayer. Director Guillermo Del Toro‘s biggest contribution here is introducing a new breed of super-vampire, one deadly enough that Blade is forced to join forces with regular vampires just to confront it. The result is an enjoyable sequel that also had a clear influence on “The Strain” years later.
