Underworld, a movie with potential, but no direction

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2004)

As I watched "Underworld" I found myself thinking that this movie had one of the greatest plots I could imagine. What could be better than a secret war between vampires and werewolves? The plot is perfect, but the movie did not do the best it could for the plot. It's completely unbelievable that humans would have no knowledge of a battle that has been going on for hundreds of years. Even though this is an action adventure movie, the element of believability still needs to be there in order to make viewers feel connected to the characters and the movie. In my opinion this is the type of movie that a sequel is absolutely necessary, and I hope the people in charge take advantage of this great plot to make a more believable story. If they are able to, "Underworld" may become one of the greatest movies in the past years.
