I liked the first one better as well. Not that the second one stunk but I though that it was overly gory where it didn't need to be. ie: The Vampire S&M club where they're just cutting the flesh off of each other for fun. Sometimes I think that the suggestion is better then actually showing it. For example, if they had shown the entrance with all the cutting tools and then waded through the club w/o showing all of the hanging flesh but them "about" to cut into each other...I think it would've been more effective.
The trailer for "Trinity" looks interesting. One thing that puzzles me though is that....why isn't it a Summer movie??
