Pride? Hubris? If the vampires discharge firearms, why do the lichens constantly put themselves at a disadvantage? Don't they have opposable thumbs, too? Another thing of fascination for me was how the film artfully hides Kate Pride? Hubris? If the vampires discharge firearms, why do the lichens constantly put themselves at a disadvantage? Don't they have opposable thumbs, too? Another thing of fascination for me was how the film artfully hides Kate Beckinsale's nipples during her nude love scene. And that she curses twice. You can at least admire "Underworld: Evolution['s]" refusal to tone down for a PG-13 rating. But it's boring. And possesses no sense of humor. In the opening scene, a filmmaker with any flair would've given his audience vampiric horses.… Expand

This sequel makes even less sense than the mediocre and boring first movie.

The critics are right this is a 2 or 3 out of 10 movies. The fact the user score is 9.1 scares the hell out of me. It's people like that are responsible for hollywood to continue to make these generic, lame, stupid, retread movies.

Crappy movie. What the heck was all the fuzz about? Terrible and even worse dialogue than the first one. Yes, Beckinsale is still looking way hot in latex but that's just not enough.

I found this movie hilariously bad! The sex scene with Scott Speedman humping Kate Beckinsales abdomen was especially great. The plot was incoherent, the action was kind of boring, and the acting was mediocre. How this has as high a user I found this movie hilariously bad!

Did everyone who rated this movie so far have something to do with it or something? Even for popcorn movie bull, this movie was god awful. The first one was at least fairly decent, but I can't believe I wasted my money on this crap.

Nothing new. Nothing better than the first one. Just Marcus character, but he's overacting. The lead actors are the same dumbs, Beckinsale and Speedman, who haven't much to say, but a lot to over act. The music is the same from the Nothing new. Nothing better than the first one. Just Marcus character, but he's overacting. The lead actors are the same dumbs, Beckinsale and Speedman, who haven't much to say, but a lot to over act. The music is the same from the first movie, the plot is even worse and more derivative than the first one. It's basically action scenes, which were too predictable, and CGI creatures, which were completely unreal (I mean, what the f--- were that werewolves?). So, this a boring overlong movie. And it's a ZERO.… Expand

The movie is about a 2 or 3, but I am giving it a zero because its stupid people that go to these movies and rate it 8s and 10s that make someone in hollywood make worse sequels off of already terrible movies.

Apparently Uwe Boll has followed up Bloodrayne with this stinker. Both films lack a soul. Within the first minute I regretted purchasing a ticket.

What the hell was that? I enjoyed the first one because it was very unique, but this one... boring! I'm only giving it a 1 because Kate is smokin' in that outfit.

I thought the first was pretty cool, but this one wastes all of its power. Victor was "the oldest and strongest of us" - except, NOPE, he's the third-oldest ... er, make that the fourth-oldest. And the sixth strongest now, by my count. When the movie continually tops itself, it makes it hard to take seriously. The final battle was a foregone conclusion. We already know Kate's stronger than Marcus going into it.… Expand

This Underworld, only slightly better than its predecessor, is a sex filled gore fest, which would fine, except that the film takes itself way too seriously.

This was the second film in the "Underworld" franchise but I saw it in third place, after "Underworld" and the prequel "Underworld 3". In this film, we follow the continuation of the events of the first film: Selene and Michael flee theThis was the second film in the "Underworld" franchise but I saw it in third place, after "Underworld" and the prequel "Underworld 3". In this film, we follow the continuation of the events of the first film: Selene and Michael flee the vampires and the Lycan that chase them, while the oldest vampire still alive, Marcus, wakes up to chase them too.

It is a typical teen film, full of action and violence. The direction is ensured by Len Wiseman, who continues to show weaknesses such as the exaggerated way in which he cares about the appearance and style, making the film sounds like a video game, absurd and impossible. It is also obvious the disregard in which he treats the script, which is so weak that the whole story sounds unlikely. It was thought to support the action scenes and not the other way around, that is, considering action scenes as a complement to a well-structured story. As a result, the film loses impact and interest as the minutes go by and everything becomes simply over the top and excessive.

The cast is led, again, by sexy Kate Beckinsale, who is good at the task of looking cool and tough but exaggerates in her performance and has no chemistry with her romantic partner, Scott Speedman, who is basically a decorative figure. Derek Jacobi is very regal in a film unworthy of him, Steven Mackintosh is uninteresting and Tony Curran exists only to appear to be violent and bad... permanently. The rest of the cast doesn't matter.

Technically, it is a film that bets almost everything on action scenes that are stylish and too incredible to be realistic. We almost never feel the danger or risk that the characters have to face because of this permanent exaggeration. The special effects and CGI are the best and they must have cost a considerable portion of the film's budget. Almost all monsters and werewolves were well made and designed. However, filming is banal, cinematography is permanently gloomy and blue and soundtrack is the same one that has been used in other films so far.… Expand
