I was surprised to see such high rating for such lowly piece of movie.
Let alone the facts that you get hardly anything portrayed from this vampire world and what little you get is one stereotype after another...
But honestly you need to decide if the following matters for you when choosing a movie to watch: - stupid speeches in the middle of a fight scene, - out of nowhere and sloppily performed travesty for a sex scene, - ridiculous "I'm your father, you're my son" reasoning to fill the holes in the script, - zero character development; in fact hollow characters altogether, - straightforward reminder flashes for the dim-witted.
I believe that where the first movie barely succeeded in terms of a plot, this linear sequel fails completely. Don't expect any surprises, everything is laid before you like a paved road in the desert. But do expect components I have mentioned above.
I would also like to say that there is a complex and thrilling world where vampires walk the Earth and I would love to see some movie based on that since vampires get more and more attention in media in the last years. It's called World of Darkness or Vampire:the Masquerade and I'm sure some of you know the books or pen-and-paper RPG games or a card game or even computer games based on this setup. Most notable piece of perfectly executed vampire story is the latest computer game from World of Darkness named Bloodlines. The plot is as thick as a pitch and the dialogues are just polished and rich (I produced a rhyme by accident :). Comparing Bloodlines to U:Evolution I can only laugh how weak this movie is. Truly a junk food for the masses powdered with flashy eye candy.
I do not recommend this movie to anyone, not even the vampire fans.
