I have to admit, I never really cared too much for vampire, werewolf or horror films. That is until I saw movies like Ginger Snaps, The Ring, and Underworld. I happened to catch the last 10 minutes of Underworld once at some ungodly hour when I couldn't sleep, and it was the cinematography that hooked me. I've recently purchased the DVD and I have to say, it's pretty sweet if you can get past the extended shootouts.
Who would have thought to put so much firepower in the hands of vampires? And Kate Beckinsale on top (hmmm... on top) of it all.
I dug the ancient lore having to do with the relationship between the lycans and the vampires. Don't know if it's "true" but pretty cool.
Very good casting, acting and again, cinematography. Also, very good action choreography and fairly good wire stunts.
I'll have to check into the sequel for Underworld...
