Epic Sony / Screen Gems fail in choice of director(s)

Rating: 3/10 (23 January 2012)

Sony / Screen Gems should be hung up and bled out for eviscerating a beloved franchise with this sad and paltry offering. The directors were in no way up to the task of carrying the franchise into new or interesting territory Then there's the screen play which can be boiled down to "a really BIG Lycan".
You're kidding me, right? That's what Screen Gems built a movie around? The movie is flat-out brain dead and embarrassing. The entire movie represents so many missed opportunities to develop and explore the saga that it has to be written off as a complete train wreck by anyone who loves the Underworld franchise.
Next time just wait until you can find a director with the talent, depth and skills to add something new and worthy. Ditto on the script. If you can't authentically enrich and develop the franchise then find someone with a little vision who can - or don't bother us with a toss- off offering that demeans and cheapens the whole concept.
