Point taken SAS.  I agree to disagree then.  Of course I'm not saying that Blade was bad.  I liked it but even Snipes admits in interviews now that the first one was "off" compared to this latest installment.

As for the "Blood Pack"  the only audible groan of disgust louder in the theater when that sh!tty plot device was introduced was during the trailer for "Triple X."  

Otherwise, I thought the movie overall was very entertaining compared to the first. I liked and very much appreciated the fight scenes being more complex.  I'm sick of the same old dodge and parries that every other movie canabalizes from each other.  Blade 2 gave a much cleaner and more spastic approach to these scenes. It was meant to be tough to focus on, these guys are suppose to be "better" than human so to speak. Although I question how being bitten on the neck and becoming a bloodsucker/reaper makes one a karate expert...but what the hell.  If I nitpicked either movie too much I'd find them both lame.

End all be all, Blade 2 was worth cash.  I wouldn't spend more to see it again, but I feel i got my money's worth.

As for the "Black Panther,"  I'm willing to bet the studio is waiting to see how Daredevil does first with Chin Affleck.  Otherwise, look for Blade 3 first.
