Dracula II: Ascension (2003 Video)
4/10
Better than most Vampire B-movies, but sadly, still not good.

This is another one of that modern vampire stories that is not much more than a Blade copy. In this case, Wesley Snipes is a Hawaiian looking Priest, called "Father Uffizi" (played by Jason Scott Lee). Father Uffizi, that name sounds so absurdly funny, that I have been so much in shock after hearing it for the first time, that I couldn't even laugh. Fortunately, the movie is not as ridicules as most other B-Movies. The acting is decent, music is quite good, even the atmosphere wasn't that shabby. Overall though, there was nothing that has been above average. In the end, this was nothing but another brain dead action-flick without any depths.

I personally liked the ending, since it seemed, like the absolute evil is finally winning. That is something I wanted to see for a long, long time. If Dracula is so evil and powerful - almost omnipotent - why the hell is he killed in every single vampire movie? I personally don't quite get it, and I find it refreshing, that the evil guys finally won in a Vampire movie. Too bad that it was more a cliff-hanger than an ending. Since in the 3rd Part, of course, will the good guys win, and of course will the end-boss be staked... boring...
