Summary: Bashful's DVD Summary #017
Review: Best:

1) It's stylish, dark and gothic to the hilt (for people who love that kind of thing).
2) The creature effects makeup, CGI rendering and fight action was outstanding.
3) There's a complex story to go with the visuals and things happen that you won't expect.
4) There's plenty of special features including 4 documentaries and 2 commentary tracks.

Worst:

1) You may, like some, think that it's TOO similar to other high-budget films (like "The Matrix", "Blade" & "The Crow").

Recommendation:

If you really like vampire and werewolf movies, this film adds yet another twist to the old legends. If you liked the the slickness of "The Matrix" and the savageness of "Blade II" (the films I think it's most like), then I'm willing to bet you'll like this one too. Get it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Underworld ROCKS
Review: Just watched this movie last night. It is definitely a cross between Blade and the Matrix. Great costumes, cinematography, action and special effects were wonderful. It was a good idea to have vampires and werewolves going at it. The casting was also good, but would have preferred Bruce Payne playing the part of Victor. The ending leaves it open for a sequel and I certainly can't wait for part II. As far as image quality of the disc, it is outstanding along w/the sound. Do yourself a favor if you are a horror fan and watch it. Don't listen to the other bad reviews, if you like movies like, Blade, Kindred-The Embraced,Ultraviolet and Forever Knight, etc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BLADE meets EQUILIBRIUM...2 thumbs up, way up !
Review: UNDERWORLD...Vampires vs. Werewolves? Finally a vampire, and/or werewolf, movie where humans aren't prey. This movie is fantastic. I was reeled in the whole time. Vampires and werewolves have been at war for centuries, with each other, but there's a deep dark secret and I'm not telling.
Great story and plenty of action. Gothic and dark, I only hope there is a sequel to match, or better, this one.
It has its downfalls, but none really worth mentioning(in my opinion).
If you like vampire, werewolf, gothic or action movies...DON'T MISS "UNDERWORLD". You'll be glad you didn't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: *Intense Violence*Thriller*I Love This Film
Review: More or less of what others think I would like to say that this movie kept me glued to the screen as I saw in in theateres. It is the most grusome provactivie and intesifying film I have ever seen. I enjoyed this movie it's a keeper!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beckinsale ROCKS!!!
Review: Nope, I haven't seen this flick yet... But I will be seeing it sometime soon, because Kate Beckinsale is a hottie, and whomever doesn't think Vampires fighting Werewolves is cool, needs their head examined!

Good stuff!

Summary: Didn't I see this movie already?
Review: "Underworld" is a film that rips of from the genre of films like "The Crow," "Dark City," and "Blade." It has all the style, effects, and cinematography of these films with nothing new to offer. The plot and acting is completely predictable and contrived. I didn't check out the bonus material because watching this film was already too much of a waste of time. "Underworld" somewhat reminded me of(atleast as far as subject content) two great Japanese anime films called "Vampire Hunter D" and Vampire Hunter D-Bloodlust" which I highly recommend instead of this film. I also recommend seeing "Dark City," which was the best film to come out of this genre. Even though I didn't like "The Crow" and "Blade," I recommend them above "Underworld."

Rating: 2 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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!

Rating: 1 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.
