Underworld: Evolution (2006)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Love the cast, great storyline, awesome action scenes, all around a WONDERFUL series! They did a great job of keeping the plot and storyline going, and explained the backstories brilliantly and without confusing you, which is hard to do really. Great job all around!

The first movie of Underworld is very scary. But this is scarier. This movie has great acting. It also has great special effects. It also has a great story line. 6.8 is a good ratting. But this such a great horror film that 6.8 is underrating it. This is a 10. See this movie. It is scarier then The Shining and that is not easy to do. This scarier then Halloween and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Psycho and that is not easy to do. One movie that is scarier then this is Underworld awakenings. This is one of the scariest movies from 2006. See it.

Now that the special effects that were cutting-edge for this movie's time have become not-so-impressive as the industry advances, the story itself is not creative or interesting enough to make it worth your time to direct your attention to the screen for almost two hours…unless you REALLY LOVE vampire or werewolf movies. If that's the case, let your freak flag fly! It's okay; I'm like that with football movies. Besides, there are worse things to have on your TV in the background than leather-clad Beckinsale doing acrobatics, shooting weapons, and kicking ass.For more reviews and a kick-ass podcast, check out: www.livemancave.com

The first Underworld film was OK thanks largely to a decent plot and Kate Beckinsale looking hot in a all in one leather outfit which seems to have kick-started a genre of horror staples such as vampires, werewolves, zombies and Frankenstein as superheroes and super villains.The sequel manages to entice Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy briefly and adds Derek Jacobi. I can see the casting agent on this one. Forget the Royal Shakespeare Company guys you need to follow in the footsteps of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and make horror films.In this sequel vampires and werewolves battle for supremacy among the undead. Sultry Death Dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and hybrid Lycan Michael (Scott Speedman) try to untangle the secrets of their past and bloodlines. Jacobi is the father of two sons one who became the original vampire the other who became the original werewolf. The vampire Marcus (Tony Curran) plans to unleash a new force as he hunts down his brother entombed many centuries ago.The plot is confusing and convoluted. The film conveniently gives flashbacks to the original film, useful as I can hardly remember much about it. We have plenty of fight action sequences set in a blue neon tinged nighttime but its badly choreographed with cheapo CGI.The film suffers from horrid plotting and poorly drawn character arcs. A father who could had saved the world from a lot of bother if he forcefully dealt with his deviant sons. Yet one his offspring is happy to see off his dad.This is a letdown from the original film.
