Washington Post
To appreciate the movie, you have to be okay with vampire violence. I don't mean subtle little nips at the neck and, ooooh, it's directed by Werner Herzog. - 88
Chicago Sun-Times
You can sense the difference between a movie that's a technical exercise ("Resident Evil") and one steamed in the dread cauldrons of the filmmaker's imagination. - 80
Los Angeles Times
Like the original, Blade II has superior production values and visual and special effects. Snipes and Kristofferson build on the resonance of their original portrayals. - 78
Austin Chronicle
Invades theatres with its fangs bared for action. It's bloody hell and we love every minute. - 70
Film Threat
The drawing card for Blade II is -- the promise of a blood-soaked action/horror thrill ride, and Snipes and Del Toro get the down-and-dirty job done with style. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Though superior to the original Blade, the superiority is mostly in the myriad ways the "suck-head" enemies can be blown up, melted and dismembered. - 50
USA Today
Snipes gives a looser, cooler performance this time around, though emotionally, it's closer to dead than undead. Blade II is for the horror faithful only; others will be grasping their crucifixes. - 50
New York Post
Much sillier - and the movie's nearly two-hour running time seems to last nearly as long as a vampire's afterlife.
