Vampires and Hybrids collide

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2012)

I can see some did not like this addition to the Underworld series of movies and some made derogatory remarks about the Twilight series which has NOTHING to do with this one at all and is a good string of movies. I weigh movies on their own merit and not by what I think a vampire should be like...they are entirely fictional in nature. They can be anything the author dreams up. This one, for me, brought a breath of fresh air by introducing some new characters. I didn't see the gore as being anymore or less than any of the other movies but if you follow the plot, it is inconceivable that there would be none when the humans are trying to eradicate vampires and lycans alike. I thought it interesting they introduced a child with the traits of both given birth by Selene while she was kept asleep and fathered by Michael. I don't know why people wouldn't like this movie. I preferred this one to the third movie and they left it open for another installment. It did pretty well at the box office. Kate Beckinsale does a great job as Selene yet a fourth time. I liked it very much and I hope they make another one bringing Michael back into the story once they find him. I saw no problem with the acting and thought it was a good idea they continued in another direction because the other one had run its course.
