I hardly remember the first one, if that's any indication of what I thought about it, other than that I really, really hated the female lead in the movie. I remember there were a couple cool concepts, but the execution of the film was entirely lacking. Hopefully they can make a better movie this time around that a little more truthful to the characters, is dark and atmospheric, and kicks ass. I would love to see the Blade people work on this franchise. I think even the people who made Constantine could make this one better.
