Blade II, or what I did instead of watch the Oscars.

Did I want to see what the stars wore, who they thanked, and what awards the Business gave to honor the Business? Hell, no! I already voted with my wallet. I was going stir crazy for a kick-ass action flick. And since I didn't think they'd let Russell Crowe beat the pulp out of the Oscar TV producer...

"Blade II": well, it ain't 'Art'. But it satisfies, for the most part. SOTA in special-effects-enhanced fight sequences (better than the HK action films); "Spiderman" beware, the bar has been raised! The story consists of three rather disparate parts: the opening introduction to the antagonists and reintroduction of Blade (the best fight scenes in the flick), the bug hunt with uneasy allies (reminiscent of Jim Cameron's "Aliens"), and an ending Greek-tragedy-style family reunion. The vampire decomposition CGI effects are considerably better than in the first "Blade." Overall, three stars from me for this genre. Wesley Snipes and his Amen Ra production company are to be congratulated for delivering a superior sequel.

Oh, don't tell me that you went to see "E.T., The Extra Testicle" instead.
