Don't you hate it when a movie comes out that just rocks, and you know the sequel is going to suck? I was hoping against all hope that this wasn't the case here. No luck. I really enjoyed the first movie a lot and I thought the way it left off, the sequel had great potential to be good too.
The second movie starts off right where the first one ends. I don't remember them being in an eastern block nation though, and the story is very convoluted and makes no sense at all. They shift the focus from Michael Corvine (Corvinus) to Selene, the death dealer. Everyone wears blue contacts and there's now a flying bat vampire, who is also supposedly a hybrid like Michael Corvine, but not like Corvine, cause he's an original and "there's never been anything like you" which we hear over and over again.
I remember watching the sequel to the Matrix where all of a sudden Morpheus can take out agents by himself (even though they are upgrades), and they don't really explain why. Or why Neo has to actually fight them, when in the first one he obliterates them at will. You get that in this movie as well, where Selene can take out multiple werewolves pretty much barehanded now.
Although Kate Beckinsale is an uberhottie, and they throw in a gratuitous half naked scene, her hotness is not enough to keep this movie afloat. Do not pay for this movie. Netflix it or wait for it on cable.
