My Take: Underworld (2003)

Rating: 4/10 (22 July 2007)

Underworld (2003)
Review: This movie does have an interesting concept and Kate Beckinsale as a vampire. I was interested. Here's My Take:
Underworld is about the ongoing feud between Lycans and Vampires. The concept alone does have intrigue, but something's missing. What the problem I found was that the story is good, but Underworld is lacking depth.
Underworld has some Alex Proyas like style to the movie in a darkness reigns and everlasting rain style. Not that is bad but the action is flawed with simple gun fights nothing more and not much else. Beckinsale is good here as Seline. Speedman is good, but his character is unfocused.
Underworld lacks depth, action and emotion. Sure, it looks nice on the outside, but inside, it's none too pretty. This was not terrible, but it could have been a lot better. The execution was poor.
The Last Word: Unfocused and Bland. A forgettable mess. *1/2 out of ****.
