Summary: Get over it, already. Disney wasn't involved!
Review: Alright. I've had enough of the complaining about how the acting was wooden, the characters didn't have any fun, the action was the whole movie, the special effects were bad, and on and on....The movie was exactly what I expected: a dark struggle between two ancient forces who anticipate an apex in the hostilities very soon. Yeah, not a lot of joking around happening here and although a few of the actors explore the craft of acting from A to B (instead of A to Z). (...)She was certainly as entertaining if not more so than Tank Girl or Stripperella! And Kate Beckinsale in her latex catsuit is at least as appealing as Wonder Woman is, right? I liked the movie, bought the movie, have watched the movie several more times since the purchase and eagerly await the sequel, so there!

Summary: I hate to admit the previews were better than the movie
Review: After the previews, I was ready to really enjoy the movie. The premise, though getting a bit old, still appeals to me. I got tired of Kate Beckinscale bursting through doors (even when it wasn't really called for). The acting was not good....very wooden surprisingly. I got the impression that she was trying to project her idea of what macho should look like. If you are looking for a saturday night movie for background noise while you enjoy a night with friends, this is great. Otherwise.....

Summary: Wait a second...
Review: I have reviewed this movie at 3 stars, entirely because I'm a huge dork and love vampire movies. Upon a second watching, though... these folks really could have tried harder. The premise is salvagable, and the overall look and feel of the movie, while not particularly new, ain't bad. But now I have to wonder... Why in the HECK do Viktor, Markus and Amelia have to hibernate? What's the point in being immortal if you spend two of every three centuries asleep? Aside from being able to jump off of buildings and frown a lot, what's the benefit of being a vampire? They never leave the house, they drink packaged blood, and all (except Selene and Viktor, of course) get their butts kicked by the lycans on a regular basis. Where does this take place? There are European addresses and license plates, but when a reference is made to Amelia being on the other side of the "great ocean" yet arriving by steam train, I got confused. WHEN does this take place? They refer to Alexander Corvinus (from whom vamp and lycan both decended), becoming immortal because of some fluke encounter with Black Death in the 15th century. Viktor talks about the "chain" of vamp elders being unbroken for 14 centuries. So... the 29th century? I don't get it. Yes, I own it. Yes, I watch it. Yes, I think it's fun. But I'm a dork. I'll tolerate weak backstory and weak plot if the movie's dorky enough.

Summary: Best vampire movie i seen in a while
Review: This was one of the best vampire movies i have see in a while. Other than the fact that Kate Beckinsale looks really good in this it was a well put together film. It has great special effects and alot of action. You wont get bored watching this. It has the dark and gloomy atmosphere that a movie should have. There was no unnecsary love scenes that made it boring and drug out. It is not a film of vampire seduction and sex. Great movie for vampire fans.

Summary: A film with a story instead of flashy effects
Review: This film was way better than I had expected. OK, the special effects are not all that great. On the other hand, the story and the acting are more than adequate, and that means more to me. I suppose one of the problems with the film is that the borders between good/bad are extremely blurred. As in most wars, good and evil depend on whose side you are on. This film is way too complex for an ordinary horror/action flick.
The film might not succeed one hundred percent in its goal, but it is close enough, and does not fall flat as too many other films do. It is exciting all the way through.

Summary: COOL
Review: this is probably the coolest movie ever made! well, actually I haven't even seen it, but it looks pretty cool.

Summary: Hope the extras are worth it...
Review: I gave the original 4 stars as I thought it was a very entertaining horror flick. Selene and Lucian just stole the movie for me. Anyways I'm giving this extended cut one more star as I believe, and hope, the extra material will be worth it. I just wish that these dvds would come extended from day one, unlike LotR etc.

Summary: so so movie....
Review: These days its hard to go to a movie without seeing matrix spawned CGI effects, but this one does not shy away from it. The movie is filled with CGI, now i am not saying that i dont like CGI im just saying that from time to time they need to cut down. Anyways i gave it 3 stars because of the action, the plot was unoriginal vampires vs. warewolfes or they describe them as likens. CONTENT: feeding from warewolfes and vampires, decapitation, shooting, swords, I also would like to add that becksale or however you spell her name is a very hot vampire.

Summary: Light on plot
Review: I found this movie amusing. I love the Matrix clothing, and I love vampires, and though it was light in the plot, I didn't think it was a waste of my time. I actually enjoyed watching it, and will no doubt watch it again, and see the sequel. Some people here have been downplaying it for certain aspects, such as vampires having reflections. Ok, first of all, get real. We're talking about vampires. Anne Rice's vampires have reflections, too, and aren't allergic to garlic, won't die from a stake in the heart, and can't be held back by a crucifix. Bram Stoker's Dracula could go out into the sunlight, and metamorphose into a flock of bats. Every culture has some vampiric entity that has different attributes that make it its own unique type of vampire. Personally, I think most of the popular vampire lore is silly - and much of it can be traced back to folkloric beliefs. Yet, I enjoy it all. I only gave it four stars because I feel they could have done better with the execution of plot twists and character development. Otherwise, I recommend it.

Summary: Not the best, but worth the watch
Review: Underworld is definintely dark, definitely a vampire vs. werewolf movie, definitely gothic. It is definitely not the best effort that could have been made either, but in the end, all's well that ends bloody. In true line with the gothic film vein, this one is set in a nameless city, where it seems like the rain never stops. Seriously, if it's not raining, it looks like it just finished (London perhaps?). Nice setting to an interesting film. The backstory, different as it sounds, is nicely creative. Vampires have been battling werewolves (Lycans) for the better part of the past 1400 years. What happens to that stalemate when one of each race begin a romance? It's not quite that simple, actually. What could have been an interesting take on the Romeo and Juliet syndrome turns into a tale of slaughter and deep-seated hatreds, new species, and downright bloody action. Not necessarily a bad idea, though, but it had potential for so much more. Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman portray their parts quite nicely, though, decent acting all around. The writing was surprisingly good, though not great, but certainly keeping it out of the basement otherwise known as the B-movie category. The plot twists and turns many a time in this tale, keeping you on your toes and bringing in new elements every step of the way. In the end, you know what's going to happen most likely, it's how you get there that makes it worthwhile. Overall, sure I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's never really boring, the acting and writing were not bad at all, and the cinematography was well done, too. Really, nothing to complain about, except maybe the lack of that big punch or shot of adrenaline that would have really made this movie a huge hit.
