This film isn't going to win any oscars and the plot isn't winning the Booker but it is a totally enjoyable, action packed romp.
If you like your Vampire flicks don't miss this one. The basic story is the same as the first film:- Vampires Vs Lycans in a stunning, vengeful and bloody war. It's a race across time to find out the origins of the war and the politics behind the existence of both Vampire and Lycan. What secrets are not being told? Why did the war start? Why was Kraven really making deals with the Lycans? Where does Selene fit in and why did Viktor make her a vampire? Are the Vampires and Lycans related? All will be revealed...
I have to agree with some of the other reviews, this is by far the better film of the two! More action, more story and a few answers that were missing in the first. The genre has been maintained well, dark, gothic, violent and blood thirsty. Kate Beckinsdales performance is great again, and lads, dont miss that tight leather cat suit! Good to see Bill Nighy back, he seems to be one of those actors who is born to play a vampire. Shane Brolly as Kraven also gives a fine, if limited, performance.
Overall:- A must see for all Vampire-aholics like myself. Blood, style, sex, black cat suits plus a little romance. So, sit back and relax, well worth the watch and I wish I had seen this at the cinema.
