Great popcorn flick

Rating: 9/10 (21 September 2008)

Underworld's biggest strength is its rich atmosphere and feel of Eastern European-ish Gothic fantasy. If you really like a movie that sucks you in and has some kickass action (but not too much) with an entertaining story involving vampires and werewolves check it out.
Kate Beckinsale is a great heroine, and not only because she's in a completely form-fitting suit the whole time. ^^ Michael Sheen and Scott Speedman are also fantastic, and play their characters very well. The rest of the cast is so-so, but since the three aforementioned characters give us most of the story it doesn't matter too much that Craven seems like he took a term of high school drama and then signed up for the movie.
So if you appreciate dark brooding fantasy rent this movie or see if a friend has it, since it's certainly worth a few viewings.
