They should have used a different male lead.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2004)

A good action/fantasy that leaves enough questions to long for a sequel.
There's not enough good fantasy out there. The score i gave it is genre specific and i not really trying to review the movie but just comment on it. Also since i'm not one to compare a fantasy with a Sci-fi or any other genre I also try to take my own age and the period in which i saw the movie in consideration finally i'll only write movies that i liked not the ones i didn't like. Why condemn a possibly good movie for others because i biased? I'm a fan of movies so even when i'm disappointed in a film i still appreciate the efforts made to bring the movie out.
Underworld to me was refreshing even if the effects were nice, the story classical, far fetched coincidenses and the plot predictable. In fact i've read several fantasy novels that were all about the same. it's just that a good entertaining movie was made about it with lots of noir (noir as in dark/black). Just like Brotherhood of the Wolf which was ignored by many people simply because it was french. Since i like long movies i was a bit disappointed with this movies length. I was also hoping for an all English cast. Something to do with accents and stuff.
