Movie Reviews of Underworld (Unrated) [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Okay
Summary: 3 Stars
After my second viewing of this film I figured I'd get around to writing a review. In an our-world noir-esque film, vampires and werewolves are in an age old war to defeat one or the another. The werewolves pursue an age old legend of a wolf and a vampire combining into one species. It's definitely an interesting idea combining two of the best horror species and the movie allows for some definite eye candy moments. The film is shot in a very cold, sterile at times, manner that allows for some grand juxtaposition of some of the film's carnage. A fun film.Movie Review: Underworld

Underworld (Len Wiseman, 2003)
Okay, so, well, it's Kate Beckinsale in skintight leather with big guns. And that's a reason to watch just about anything. The question is, is there anything else about this movie worth watching? I'm not entirely sure whether I can give a definitive answer to that question, but I'm leaning towards "no".
The plot-- what there is of it-- revolves around Selene (Kate Beckinsale), a vampire from a clan who've been at war with a clan of werewolves (known as the Lyken, because in Hollywood, everything is cooler if you shorten it), heade dby the enigmatic Lucian (Michael Sheen) for a long, long time. And, well, I'd have to go well into the second half of the movie to give you more of a plot summary than that, because it takes this movie forever to actually come up with a plot. (When it does arrive, it's a rather loose definition of the term anyway.) The main thing you need to know is that a human medical student, Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), gets in the way.
Perhaps I'm giving the movie short shrift, and when it was originally conceived, there was a much stronger, more coherent storyline. Still, that's not what we ended up getting. Yeah, things finally start coming together about an hour and twenty minutes into the movie, but for the first hour and twenty minutes, there's really not much to do but stare at Kate Beckinsale in skintight leather with big guns. And, you know, even that can get old. (Substitute "Charlize Theron" and AEon Flux, and there you go.) Definitely not one I'll be rewatching. **
Movie Review: For Vampire Lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie, vampires and werewolves against each other, it was awesome! I like this movie a lot more than part two (underworld evolution). Part 2 wasnt as great.Movie Review: Should become a classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been a sucker for vampire movies, and no matter whether the story is a deep, thought provoking one; or a good solid action packer like this is, I'll see it. When I first saw trailers for this film I knew I was going to be there on opening night!
This movie (in my opinion) will become a classic. Whether it becomes a mainstream classic or just a solid cult-classic remains to be seen. The story is very well written and as someone pointed out, it revolves around WHY there is a war between vampires and werewolves and less on the creatures themselves.
The acting is just about as superb as it can get. In my opinion not led by Beckinsale, but rather by Bill Nye who plays a very convincing Viktor. Slight over-acting in spots by Speedman, but overall he plays very well off of the rest of the cast.
The directing is just as superb. It is over the top with the effects but only in the spots where it is needed. Enhancing the story, excitement, and tension all inter-twining the characters and their respective stories as to how the war began and where it will go. The ending leaves the option for a sequel (which we now see is the case) and it keeps the viewer hooked for the next chapter!
Highly recommened and will be a classic over the course of time.
