Better than I've Been Led to Believe

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2013)

I ordered this movie from Netflix with some trepidation; but, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a good movie. Maybe not as good as Underworld: Evolution... more on par with the first movie of the series.
The character Michael was missing from this one. I expected that to hurt the movie. It did in that they felt compelled to keep mentioning him. But, the relationship between Selene and her daughter more than compensated...
Humans get killed in this one, unlike the other Underworld movies. The vampires are no longer the arrogant royalty that they once were. Admittedly, that was part of the fun of the previous two movies...the British accents and the air of self satisfaction. The hunted vampires are less fun...
But, Selene, is grouchier than ever. She manages to destroy anyone chasing her without a second thought. In one scene, she calmly walks away as bullets tear through her milky white flesh (sorry... got caught up in it for a moment). So, with a super-powered Selene, they have to break out the giant werewolf. This makes the epic battle at the end interesting.
I did notice a LOT of similarities between this movie and Ultraviolet. When you watch it, it won't be hard to discern. I give it an eight out of ten...
