Worst of the series

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2012)

I recently got into the Underworld franchise in the last year or so and have watched the three movies prior right around when Awakening was being advertised. I was excited to see the series continue, even though the third installment was my least favorite (killing off all the old elders didn't sit well with me).
Anyway, number 4 was not very good at all. The story line had potential as I would have like to see more conflict between humans and the "cleansing" war against Lycons and the Vampires. There were opportunities to expand on the storyline but the movie felt like it was edited down dramatically (its only 90 min). For example, it would have been great to see Selene redeem herself to the new Vampire elder and win their trust. If there was about another 30 to 45 min with meaty story lines, then it could have excelled. I'm sure they will do a 5th installment which could kill the franchise if its not any better than Awakening.
