I simply don’t know how I’d rate this movie. I’m a little mad they backtracked on the old man being dead, I get why they did it but it didn’t add much bringing him back and I would’ve rather seen Karen again. The cgi was jarring, which is to be expected from a 2002 film but the first one must’ve used practical effects or more effort because it looked awesome. Some of the action was still good, but some scenes were inexplicably lame. Like in the beginning, what’s the point of the one vamp having a gun just to not use it? Sure they weren’t there to kill blade, but then why not bring another weapon like the girl did? And if he knew Scud was a villain like he claimed, why walk into the trap barely prepared? The plot was much more predictable, didn’t care for the romance. The body horror was still decent but not as prevalent. It’s watchable, just forgettable, opposite of the first. I did enjoy they at least killed the vamp they joked about throughout the movie.
