Characterization in Modern Film Blade II
The movie Blade II premiered in American cinemas in the 2000, with huge expectations
from its predecessor’s fans. The Marvel Comics movie features Wesley Snipes as the lead actor
playing Blade. Blade is a hybrid vampire trained to thrash the new virus that is domiciled in bad
character vampires in the movie. Trained by his old man Whistler, Blade joins an alliance with
other vampires to combat the newly formed reapers who feed on humans and vampires as well.
The movie begins in Zurich with Blade doing his usual activities when he is approached by
Nyssa and her brother to join the alliance. The new alliance faces the risk of losing to the reapers
who have been infected with a virus that demands vampire sanctification and human blood as
well. It is Blade’s work to destroy the new creatures and ensure that the two worlds coexist
together.
The movie Blade II has received both acclaim and critique in equal measure. Going by its
sales, the film ranked above average from the consumer side. The production of the movie took
attention to detail in various factors. First, the directors of the movie relied on its characters to
make an impression on the audience. For instance, Blade rightfully chose to the lead character.
Since Wesley Snipes had played the lead character in the predecessor movie, his consequential
role was cemented. However, the character portrayed in Blade II infers to a different Blade as
known from the first movie. For instance, Blade has been raised on good parenting and doing the
right thing. His role in the movie is to destroy those who pose a threat to the communal

arrangement that exists in the world. He, therefore, comes out as weak. He is supported by
Nyssa, the only female character in the movie starring with the right attitude.
The second character the movie uses to relate to the audience is Whisker. Unlike in the
movie Blade I, Whisker is locked in a tank. He has been captured by the reapers, his blood being
used for more power rituals. As it would be expected from the fans of the film in the first release,
Whisker would have found a way out and been in alliance with Blade and the other pro
characters. However, his character rots away in a tank, which serves to mean that the character is
weak and irrelevant. Besides, Blade seems to have had the company he needed for rescuing
Whisker. However, the director lets the film drag on before the same happens.
The production of the movie is professionally done. To begin with, the creative director
in the movie uses computer technology to deliver out-of-the-world scenes and characters that
keep the audience interested in the film. The creation of the reapers is marked with horrid details
that surpass the normal neck bites that are used in major vampire films. When the audience is
introduced, one cannot miss the fear and the horror that the creatures leave behind them. In
summary, the film excels in production creativity but fails to pay attention to character
development and plot direction. One does not seem to follow the story through to conclusion as
they would have in the predecessor film, Blade I.
I did not like the movie in general. It attempts to create a far-fetched war without the
syncing of characters with the intended plot. Besides, its computer effects are poorly done, and
has too many violent scenes that seem to last too long, making it appear computer generated.
Finally, I find the film too grisly and overly exaggerated for my liking.
