Not Very Good

Rating: 4/10 (17 November 2004)

Although this doesn't have a similar title, Underworld is another fight between two mythical characters - the lycan (werewolf) and the vampire. First of all, I don't know why the werewolves were referred to as the lycans throughout the whole movie. It is pronounced the same as a lichen, the plant-fungus species that lives on some trees. The story wasn't that great. Two mythical races locked in a duel for thousands of years, but this time, a little horror twist is added to it. The acting was not very good at all, by anybody. The werewolves looked pathetic. Another thing I could not stand was the slow-motion flying around junk they kept pulling. Please let the movie play by itself, don't take viewers out of the world you created by slowing everything down. Another grievance I had with his movie was that the characters aren't built up enough. I didn't care about any of them. So, not that good a movie in general. The violence they put in to appeal to action fans was really unnecessary. Sure, keep the shooting and such if you want. However, don't keep the witnessing of random pedestrians getting eaten and shot and torn apart. I'd rather not see that thank you. So, overall, not that good. If you like almost pointless and unnecessary violence and stupid flying through the air slow-motion junk, then watch this. Otherwise, pass it up.
