Summary: This film is not befitting a rating
Review: I had walked into the movie theatre (when the film was originally released) and had only hopes for teriffic-looking costumes.
The story is not unoriginal, but rather it is unintentional drivel. It does not contain a solid style, nor does it contain fluidity.The story (promised by the commercials) is about a Romeo and Juliet-like vampire and warewolf flick, but the delivery simply had vampires who hunt warewolfs (and vice versa).
The vampires were very boring and looked bored. They all just sat around a loung, inside a fancy Victorian-age mansion and were wearing clothing suitable for the victorian age (with the exceptional trench coat and leather jacket. I would have liked seeing the outfits if only the film did not cut away from that scene after two seconds. The warewolves live underground and constantly beat eachother up. I did not bother asking for a reason. Somewhere in the film's "plot" is a conspiracy that dates a few thousand years back and makes the vampires look like bad guys. How can you choose sides between vampires who carry a reflection in the mirror and DO NOT drink blood (throughout the entire film) and warewolves and beat up the vampires as if they were mere humans? To sum up my review (and you may notice that I did not give away the plot, but simply something of the "story") there is only one vampire in the film. He is a ressurected elder who sucks blood, weilds a sword, dresses appropriately, takes initiative, and has, get this: super human strength! This was a horrid film, and to top it off it was actually LACKING style, predictable, and boring. P.S.
Why would vampires fire pistols (automatic ones at that) when they can move quicker than the eye can see?

Summary: A Little Bit Of This...A Little But Of That.....
Review: I read that this movies brings memories of The Matrix, Blade and the Crow, could it be that- 1. Blade: non-standard vampires, using guns and weapons, alternate means of feeding (i.e bloodbanks), always throwing parties. Wake up an old Vampire boss (Blade 1). Still terrifying to humans but a cake walk for the Daywalker.
Underworld: non-standard AND WEAK vampires, using guns and weapons, alternate means of feeding (i.e bloodbanks), always throwing parties. Wake up an old Vampire boss . Still terrifying to humans but a cake walk for the Lycans (when the vampires are unarmed).
2. The Matrix- Main heroin dressed in black leather, bad attitude, itchy trigger finger. Laws of gravity are non-existent. Bullet-time, Neo Morpheos Trinity hang out in an old strange looking Apt bldg. Good and bad guys looking for "The One", heroine falls in love with "The One".
Underworld- Main heroine dressed in black leather, bad attitude, itchy trigger finger. Laws of gravity are non-existent. Bullet-time. Vampires hang out in an old stranger looking bldg. Good and bad guys looking for "The One", heroine falls in love with "The One".
3. Crow- Never seems to be any daylight, would anyone want to live there?
Underworld- never seems to be any daylight, would anyone want to live there? Considering the elements blatantly taken from those three flicks I took the movie for what it was and just "watched it" for entertainment. Could have been better (Blade 3), but could have been worse (Dracula 2000, yuk!!).

Summary: Absolutely fantastical !!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie was excellent because it was very similar with the Matrix series because instead of having robots and agents chasing Neo, we have werewolves and vampires chasing a guy who is believed to carry something very powerful. I won't give many details about this movie because you have to see it for yourself.
One of the best action/horror movie ever.

Summary: A Must See Movie!! What A Movie..
Review: This is the best dark movie I have ever seen for a long time now.. I was really sceptical about underworld at 1st but then after watching it.. I just don't believe what I was looking at. Truly amazing plot, action sequence and characters.. The story develop scene after scene making the viewers sitting tight on their seats craving for more. I absolutely was awe by this awesome movie.. however I truly believe that Underworld is underrated. It should get the credits that it deserved or putting such an excellent movie. I am eagerly waiting for the sequel as I know it would be so much better than the 1st..Underworld RULE!!!! Vampire & Lycan RULE!!

Summary: Modern Day Bite
Review: Well I have seen this movie in theaters not really knowing what to expect. Well it was totally action packed to say the least. It was a mixture of horror and thriller. Just think " The Matrix" but with vampires and lycans and you got it.The Special effects and the make up was top notch. The dark scenes were excellent but it was not a Romeo and Juniet love story at all. It was more of a battle till the end with the Vampires and Lycans. I went out of the movie theatre in complete shock it was such a great movie nothing that I have ever seen before, I hughly recommend you go out and buy this awesome thriller, you won't be dissapointed!!! g2g Peace Out!!!!

Summary: Absolutely Woeful Movie, they couldn't give me this DVD!!!!
Review: I'm sorry this is one of THE worst movies I have ever had the displeasure of spending $9 to see. Not even Kate Beckinsale in figure hugging attire could save it. The acting is wooden at best, the script is childlike and the dialogue unconvincing and bland.
Bad bad bad bad...BAD

Summary: Reasonable Vampre/Werewolf Flick, but Lacks Originality
Review: "Underworld" has two great things in it; beautiful images and elegant Kate Beckinsale. Period. Except for them, you get nothing particularly special about it -- the actions are not new, the acting is not good, and most of all the story is very slow-moving and uninvolving. "Underworld" is, some say, the Romeo and Juliet story in vimpire/werewolf version. This account is quite misleading. It is about Ms Beckinsale's Selene, deadly assassin with guns among the vampire clan. They are fighting the bloody war so long with the now-outnumbered werewolves (Lycans, they are called), so no one remembers the original cause of the war. So, Selene is told to kill, and she kills. So far so good. And the opening subway gun-shooting scenes are reasonably done. And Scott Speedman's doctor named Michael enters as the possible target of the Lycans. Selene only seems aware of the fact that Michael has some secret he doesn't know, but the leader of the Lycans (Michael Sheen) is desperately after. Now the plot is going to thicken. But it doesn't. Soon we get confused because of the very clumsy storytelling, i.e. talk, talk, talk, which includes many monologues, intricate relations of characters, and some ritualsa and traditions about the dynasty of old, sleeping vampires. Some are intrigued by these webs of facts, but I must say ... Isn't this supposed to be Romeo and Juliet? The director Len Wiseman unaccountably doesn't show any interest in the relations between Beckinsale and Speedman. This misguided choice kills any potential power they might have been given; instead, we start to lose interest in them. How should we care these uninteresting characters? If you have seen "Blade" "Blade 2" or the first "Crow", don't expect the actions, which lack originality. Not that they are bad -- far from it. But the fact remains that we have seen more exciting and unique ones in them, and to make matters worse, for all the inclusion of creature designer Patrick Tatopoulos, the werewolves are not convincing. We got good production designs including the cobbled streets of Budapest; we got credible and often very sinister atomospher. Still we need more power, or elegance, or humor, or anything here, which might heighten the tension between the two clans. We need danger, and only in danger Beckinsale's death dealer starts to shine.

Summary: bloody well done
Review: Underworld is awesome and it will make you guess whats going to happen next so if you havent seen the movie you should go rent it when it comes out it is a really bloody movie and this is not for the kids. When u first see it predict whos goin to win Vampires or werewolves.

Summary: Expectedly Dark
Review: I watched this movie, expecting a Blade/Resident Evil/slightly Matrix plot and special effects, and that is precisely what I recieved. The movie is well done with entertaining special effects, and the plot is fairly creative. I did enjoy Kate Beckinsale's portrayl of a dark action hero. However, this picture seems to have nothing for a non- Blade/Resident Evil/slightly Matrix fan.
