Blade II (2002)
Sucks!
I saw this movie last sunday, 2 days after the premier, and is really stupid. I mean, I like the first movie, "Blade" have a lot of good fighting, good specials effects, it was fun and I know that the plot wasn't really elaborate, but it worked. Here the plot is so stupid you wont believe it. I don't understand why they have to bring back the character of Whistler, he was great on the first one, but in that movie he died, he commit suicide, leave it dead!!! And if they can bring a vampire back to normal, like they did with Whistler, why not do it with all the vampires????, why kill them???, this was a big plot hole. Scud was a great replacement for Whistler, why make him a traitor????, you really think that Blade is so stupid that is going to leave a traitor working for him for 2 years???, thats so dumb. I guy here said that they should use a big lamp to kill all the reapers in the tunnel, that was the most smart idea, why not do it?????, why use those stupid grenades, and if those grenades worked on reapers and vampires that means that Reinhardt and Nyssa must died too, not only get burned.
Another thing that in this movies wasn't fully use was the father-son thing between the really old vampire and the reaper leader, it was a good idea, but the totally blow it. The reapers make up and special effects where great they have a good point there, and the fight where cool too, but the movie sucks.
I'am a fun of Guillermo del Toro since "Mimic" and "Devil's Backbone", he is quite a good director, but here it looks like he get paid and he don't care. Some parts look like "Nosferatus" especially the reapers look, I think that that is the directors contributions to the film (If you watched "Mimic" you will know that he love "Nosferatus") but thats really it
Tuno negro (2001)
What a Bad film!!!!
I´m been living in Spain about 6 month´s and I was trying to whatch some new spanish films to catch the ways of this industries. I watched ¨Tuno Negro¨ last friday and I was disapointed. It was really awful, totally dumb script and the acting was hard as a rock. This film is trying to be like all the american Teen slasher films but just can´t get it. Is not like those films are great, most of the are really bad (only ¨Scream¨ is a good movie in that bunch) but this one is even worst. Worst than ¨Cherry Falls¨ and ¨I still know what you did last summer¨. They are a lot of plot holes and thing that you wont understand and the ending is so stupid that you will think that is a final joke. They are only 2 thing that I have pitty of this movie. One of those thing is Fele Martinez, one of Amenabar´s favorite actor´s who is really good in movies like ¨Tesis¨ and ¨Abre los ojos¨ but here is the carachter is so underwrited that he can only soy the lines in a dumb way. The other thing that could be good but it is not it was Eusebio Poncela, another great actor who was espectacular in ¨Martin (hache)¨ but here it have the same problems of Martinez. Really a pitty
