Another Lame Sequel

Rating: 4/10 (26 June 2012)

I should probably start off this review saying that i'm not really that big of a fan of the Underworld franchise. I thought the first two films were OK and I thought the third one was awful. When I saw the trailer for Awakening, it looked like it would finally be what I had wanted from this series all along. A fast paced over-the-top action movie with the addition of some great 3D effects.
Unfortunately, Underworld Awakening is exactly what I feared it would be and that is a poorly done sequel that should've gone straight to DVD.
Despite some good action sequences, this is just another lackluster installment in a franchise that was never that good to begin with. I probably wouldn't have hated it so much if the story haden't been so horrible and stupid.
It's not as bad as the third film, but it's still not worth watching.
