too serious?

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2003)

I was really appealed by the movie trailer showing cool actions scenes, so I went to see Underworld at the opening day. Well to tell the truth I was a bit disappointed, may-be the movie is too dark and take itself too seriously. In opposite of Blade II which had some kind of funny one-liners.
The story have some nice twists, twists that make you wonder who are the good and bad guys, that's great, unfortunately they are conducted by a quite bad dialog.
Pros: very good story twists, nice sceneries & costumes, cool but not impressive action scenes.
Cons: bad dialog, dark monochromatic oppressive ambiance, too damn serious, cheap romance.
I will give a generous 7/10
