Action? Were we watching the same movie?

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2003)

In the beginning I thought I was watching Lord Of The Rings. In the end I thought I was watching Terminator 2. In between I was waiting for something to happen. I'm not going to bash the unoriginality of this movies because 1)I already kinda did, and 2)It would probably be overkill by now. I just read some of these reviews and I wonder if we watched the same movie. Everytime I thought there was going to be action, there was a cut away. Oh boy! Werewolf vs. Vampire in subway, nope sorry, cutting to Kate looking perplexed. Oh awesome! A dude with whips is taking on a werewolf! Nope, sorry, cut away when the werewolf approaches. I can understand the limited budget this thing was made on, and the fact that they probably dumped all of the money into cinematography and costume design, but don't market it as something it's not. Action? romance? Underworld contains not these things.
