fixing things that arnt broken

While the Underworld movies are a fun romp, Awakening was the beginning of the end for me.
Removing Scott Speedman to focus on the mother daughter relationship (claims director) is hard to swallow considering the presence of more-supermodel-than-actor, Theo James. Instead of carrying on the Micheal/Seline relationship, they muddle it by adding an annoying child who happens to have been born with an English Accent even though she's been raised by mostly American scientists.
Film makers need to remember that audiences are watching films to escape their own children, they don't want to watch someone else's bratty child whom just gets in the way of an action/adventure plot more than add to it.
(re: Zack - The Strain, Carl - TWD, Newt - Aliens, Dawn- BtVS).
The other problem with this addition, is the abandonment of the werewolves of the last three films and in its place are bad CGI weredogs.
Sometimes trying to one-up every addition isn't needed in a collection like this.
