This one has a lot more action than the prior films in the series

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2012)

I am not sure I understand some of the unfavorable reviews--especially those with 1 or 2 stars? I do not think anyone will (or should) take your review seriously if you give this movie 1 star--I know I certainly will not. I really do not understand what some of these people think they are going to see--this is NOT a "deep" intellectual film like "Let the right one in". When you go to see an Underworld movie, you expect to see a film well acted (it is) with its heroine (Kate Beckinsale) continuing to struggle with what she is (undead) and what she wants to be (human) and ultimately having her human side prevail as well as plenty of interaction between vampire and Lycan. The film is not without its flaws of course (which is why I gave it an 8). But I've seen so many films in this genre that just are not entertaining or well done. This movie will not win any acting academy awards, although I think Kate was great. If you have enjoyed the previous films, you will certainly enjoy this one as it is the best of the four films made. If you have not seen any of the prior films, but you like either action or vampire/werewolf films, you will love this one. If you come in expecting a movie like "Let the right one in" you will probably be disappointed. Again--don't give a movie a bad review because you wanted something different. I think if you go in to this movie you should know exactly what it promises to deliver and it delivers that well and you should rate the movie on that basis, not on your view of what you think the film should deliver. Giving this film a rating below 5 or 6 does a disservice to the film as well as people reading the reviews when trying to decide whether to see the film.
