	Author	Review
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"Popcorn nonsense for sure, but shot with a wit, skill and understanding of its audience all too rarely seen in the genre. Strong (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"Dense on imagery, mood and plot (...) 'Blade 2' is a rocking, dexterous piece of genre-busting tinged with sadness"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Blade II' is a really rather brilliant vomitorium of viscera (...) The movie is an improvement on 'Blade' (1998), which was pretty good (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"Signature del Toro obsessions are on fierce display (...) An awesome, cautionary tale against cultural homogenization (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"The influences are eclectic as before (...) but stripped down to such basics as story and dialogue, it's nothing to get excited about."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The fight sequences that Del Toro unleashes are outrageously exciting (...) This is 1,000mph moviemaking"	POS
United Kingdom	Alan Jones Radio Times	"It's a fabulous-looking package, elegantly orchestrated by del Toro, who has an unerring eye for undead iconography, which he takes to visually imaginative extremes (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"[It] combines the bold visual style of comicbook storytelling with the frenetically acrobatic mayhem of a Hong Kong action film."	POS
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"The world can always use another entertainingly trashy B-movie, and 'Blade II' fits the bill."	POS
