Could have been better.....

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2003)

I don't think I have ever seen a movie that starts off with a bang within five minutes so fast. "Underworld" does not explain much from the start; I wouldn't have known half of what was going on if I hadn't read about it first. Explanitory things means everything. Second thing, this movie didn't really make you want to root for either side, Lycans OR vampires. The lycans are just egomanic psychos and the vampires are all arrogant traitors. Too bad they didn't all kill each other. On the other hand, the graphics were nice, interesting and vivid (although they didn't have to make so many 5-story window jumping scenes....). Selene(Beckinsale) made a very sexy, slinky vamp. What can I say? I love females who fight. They make the battle more interesting. I think this movie would have been a LOT better if they had explained things along the way. And the ending needed some help as well. Overall, it was "OK". Not something I would pay to see again though.
