Summary: ..........HOLY.............!
Review: ....Oops!! I accidently purchased the fullscreen edition dvd of "Underworld" instead of the widescreen edition (actually the store where I purchased the dvd from only sold the fullscreen editions, and I didn't pay much attention to it, I was just so excited about finally purchasing the dvd, my mistake). Unfortunately, the fullscreen edition is a mere shadow of it's theatrical counterpart. Everything on screen looks so blown up, it's a hassle to decipher what's going on throughout the entire movie! This may not seem like a big deal to those who are used to watching fullscreen films, but to those who aren't (and cannot bear to watch them like myself) please do yourself a favor and get the widescreen edition instead, in order to fully enjoy the feel of the movie as to it's theatrical counterpart. Also, what's with the dvd packaging? The dvd version of "Underworld" was supposed to contain two dvd's and a music soundtrack to the film, and when it arrives it only comes with the single movie dvd. That's just plain laziness.

Summary: This movie rocks!!!
Review: If you like The Matrix and Blade, then you'll love this movie. It has the fight scenes and black vinyl from Matrix and a modern spin on vampires. It's fun, don't listen to those other reviews!

Summary: Terrible Bonus Features
Review: I enjoyed it in the theatre, but the dvd is lacking. The Making of Underworld feature was a really an extended trailer and the creature feature material wes repeated on other areas of the dvd. Not very special for a special edition.

Summary: Vampires in HOT goth clothes
Review: It is Terribly underrated for starters. You souldn't watch this movie if you aren't interested in vampires or in Goth but if you are then it is the perfect movie for you. i have allready seen it twice in the cinema and i just wanted to come back for more. i have tried finding something about it on the web but it just isen't the same. i think i am going to the cinema again tomorrow to see it for the 3rd time out of 4 possible. I love this movie and you urge you to see it.

Summary: This movie is great!!!
Review: I saw this movie a few days after it came out in theaters and I loved it! I don't understand why people are so hostile about the movie. The only thing that was like the Matrix was all of the slow moving stuff (Which is in almost every movie nowadays). Underworld was so much better than any of the Blade movies and Kate Beckinsale is awesome as Selene. This was definately one of the best movies of the year!

Summary: Werewolves vs. Evolved Fanged Humans (not Vampires!)
Review: Once again, Ill review this movie more about the DVD edition and not by the movie itself, since most people may look at this area cuz of the DVD version not the story.I can say that the DVD is fantastic. The menus are cool, with short clips from the movies, or animated scenes, like the main menu where it takes you on the top of buildings. I cannot say much of the special features since I only have a DVD player, not a DVD-ROM, thus, I cant access all. The commentary is fantastic though, from the director, and 2 writers... I didnt expect that one of the writers was "Raze"(or whats his name) in the movie - the black guy with very cool and deep voice. What is disappointing is the featurette, which is the same as the preview commercial of the movie - which is also in the DVD! Other than that, the quality of it all is cool. If I am to give a say about the movie itself, its kinda interesting with the notion of a vampire vs. werewolf thing, BUT they kinda made it too Bladish or too modern that killed the mystique of both races - especially the vampires. The vampires got reflections in mirrors, and they didnt show parts when they actually killed people to feed. Its like they just showed people with fangs armed with guns. And it kinda go slow at some parts too, but I cant blame them since its the first of a trilogy, and the first movie usually takes more dragging parts to introduce the plots and characters. Other than the vampires appearing very non-vampiric and too weak(they cant win without guns, how could they have been the superior race?!), I think the movie got a deep story with a lot of twists and turns, and almost all characters have their own agendas... which makes it so interesting and making you want to know what happens on the next installment. I hope they will finally make real vampires!

Summary: Finally Vampires vs Werewolves, not done great....but good
Review: Underworld is a great looking movie that has a similar look and feel to it as films like the Matrix and the Crow. The way Kate Beckinsale (Pearl Harbor) is dressed in all leather sis even sort of a rip-off of Trinity in the Matrix. Hey though she looks great so I'm not going to complain lol. The movie is hard to follow somtimes though. It throws too much at you in one movie and it becomes to complexed to follow. Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman (Felicity) don't really have great chemestry either eventhough they are good in their roles. I mean we know why he likes her, I mean mmmm lol. We don't know why she is willing to risk everything for him though when she hardly even knows him. Still though Kate Beckinsale surprisingly is in strong heroine form and it's impressive since she's been in basically only romance movies before this. She handles the role well even if she comes off as more of a super model with attitude than a vampire. Anyway I always wanted to see a vampires vs werewolves movie and we get that with Underworld. There's not really enough action with them verse each other though. Yes they shoot at each other but I'd rather see more of them actually fighting. It's still pretty cool though. I think the werewolves look better than most werewolves have looked. Underworld is a fun movie that you'll enjoy more if you just sit back and let the action wash over you.

Summary: underwhurled-it bites
Review: Sorry- It had promise, but didn't deliver. The premise of the two warring clans vampires and werewolves - ok. The death dealers ( from the vampire clan) are chosen to hunt the lycans ( werewolves) until there are no more. Kate Beckensale's character, Selene notices that while hunting the lycans, realizes they are actually tailing a human and not for food-- hmm.. This movie tries to be many things and ends up being a jumbled up nothing. It tries action & technology, but its half-hearted stunts are silly,claymation especially one scene where Michael(a werewolf aka the love interest) after transformation looks like a weird incredible hulk! ( like the one in the TV show in the '70's). There are scenes that look like they directly came from The Crow (scenes of roof tops in the rain) and Matrix but they don't have the effect I think they were wanting to achieve. It tries to be a love story- well, sorta. --
I wouldn't be so critical of everything else if the story had been decent. I guess you get the idea I really didn't like it. It's a shame, I really like the vampire genre.

Summary: A Great Movie!!!!
Review: Well it is ovious that the previous reviewer did not pay attention to the movie and has no clue to the history of Vampires and Werewolves or else he would've known that werewolves have always been able to destroy vampires except for the stronger vampires. And this movie does keep with the old beliefs that werewolves hunt humans for food, the vampires do drink the blood of humans. What has happened is that they are trying to find other ways to survive without taking the blood of a human, but they do still drink it. this is a great movie and one that I am very happy to own. It has a lot of vampires, werewolves and a lot of action. If you like vampires and werewolves I think it will be well worth your time to check it out. Pay no attention to the negative reviews or the reviews of Jeff Shannon which hardly ever gets a movie review right. This is a great movie!!! So be sure to check it out
