Action packed, a Roller-Coaster ride !!

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2012)

Just finished watching Underworld : the Awakening on Blu ray, it was much better than expected. I really don't understand the negative reviews, although, some of it where actually more of a praise than a criticism. for example : some negative reviewers were saying that it was like a video game !! well, i think that is a good thing !! the movie is action packed, and is only interrupted with few scenes of dialog, does not waste time on useless dialog like most action movies now do, we jump immediately into the action that never stops !! it was like a roller-coaster fun ride with continuous twists and turns, some very well executed action scenes, brilliant gun fights, slow motion action and even fist fights.
you have giant monsters, werewolves and of course vampires !! Kate Beckinsale was amazing here as Selene, and here we find things have turned and humans are the enemy, a new twist added to the plot and new characters are brought in.
for me, i really did enjoy this one more than all the previous ones, because this one does not waste time and jump into the action as i have already mentioned.
i recently watched the Avengers as well in theaters, and i was hoping that film would have been as action packed as this one, but it wasn't and lots of time was wasted on boring dialog and slow build up.
I really liked Underworld the Awakening, very enjoyable and entertaining. if you guys were expecting more of a story and lots of dialog, then you should go and watch a Drama and leave the action to its real fans !! a solid 9 out of 10, not to be missed by action fans.
