Surprisingly good!

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2004)

UNDERWORLD may not be as good as BLADE, but it is really a entertaining movie! Vampires versus werewolves I must personally that such a plot is pretty funny watching. Kate Beckinsale is also pretty freaking cool in her main character, although she is brutally inspired by Matrix, she is pretty fine! The movie's opening scene is really beautiful, and then I'm not pointing at the action sequence but the few moments where Beckinsale is sitting on this balcony in the constant rain, sort of twist between BLADE and BATMAN.
Vampires is supposed to be erotic, charming and deep folks, but I really don't think they've successed making that part. And one of the things ruining the movie is the werewolves, yeah actually. They get too stupid pity enough, too much of the goods. The special effects are nothing more than okay, so where this movie really scores points is at the cool-factor, the pure entertainment and Beckinsale, yeah, she does a surprisingly good performance and, she is sexy! UNDERWORLD is a very above the usual action-movie, I liked it...a bit! STARS: 3/5
