Watch Dracula II: Ascension For Free

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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...

This is one of those movies that is only a sequel by name really. It's a sequel to the 2000 movie "Dracula 2000" but it basically has very little till nothing to do with this movie, that features new and different characters and a different story it follows.Nothing about this movie is too impressive or spectacular and you can perhaps even call this movie a bit of a lackluster but it's simply good enough for what it is. It didn't had a too high budget and got probably shot on a tight schedule but the end result is certainly a watchable and good enough movie.The story is far from convincing or greatly written but at least it's being somewhat original. At least this movie is not being a typical vampire flick with all of the usual clichés and lack of original ideas and creativity of its own.The movie features some of the typical B-movie flick actors. Jason Scott Lee is the vampire killer and Roy Scheider also makes a small appearance. Obviously the acting is not the movie its strongest point. As a matter of fact, the movie doesn't really have any strong points at all but it simply serves its purpose well enough, making this a good watch throughout.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

After the near death of Dracula (Originally played by Gerard Bulter and now played by Stephen Bilington) When an medical student (Diane Neal) and other med student (Jason London) accidentally discovered the body of Dracula. They find out that it needs fresh human blood to resurrect. When a mysterious dealer wants to pay them $30 million for the body of Dracula. They unwillingly agreed but a renegade priest/vampire slayer (Jason Scott Lee) looks for the body of Dracula. He finds himself in deeper trouble than he could imagine.Directed by Patrick Lussier (Dracula 2000, My Bloody Valentine "2009", White Noise 2) made an watchable Direct to DVD sequel to "Dracula 2000". Which the director certainly tries hard to match the quality of the original and it is just as good. The cast are decent enough although Lee looks lost half of the time with his role.DVD has an sharp strong anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has cast auditions, deleted scenes and an audio commentary by the filmmakers. This was made as the same time for "Dracula 3". Although it is quite annoying with each film, they keep changing actors to play Dracula. But Craig Sheffer does have some fun with his supporting role as a college professor and the late Roy Scheider in a small part as a priest. At least... "Dracual 2:Ascension" has some interesting plot turns. Lussier's second film has good locations and fine production values. Horror fans will enjoy this one best. Super 35. (*** 1/2 out of *****).

I remember hearing at the end of the commentary for "Dracula 2000" that there would likely be another, and I looked forward to seeing it. While this one was not quite a match for the first (it didn't have GERRY), I enjoyed it.I was somewhat disappointed upon realizing that Mr. Butler wouldn't be reprising his role, but have to say that Stephen Billington did a fine job. I found him to be a talented actor with a definite "sex appeal" factor. He also has to spend a good part of the film looking, shall we say, "less than his best" but his performance as Drac still comes through - and you still believe his seduction of Lizzie. When they got to the kissing-on-a-bed scene almost at the end of the movie, I thought, "Finally"! Anyway, this, like the first, has no pretensions of being a classic or Oscar winner; it's one to watch for love of the genre (and love of vamps, male or female, take your pick). Get both and have yourself a Halloween night (or any other night of the year) Drac-a-thon.
