Short Review: Almost as good as the first movie in the series.

To expound on that a bit, I really did enjoy this movie, though it seemed to lack a lot of the ..style that the first film captured. I liked the actors, especially Bill Nehee(sp) as the lead vampire, Victor. The story plodded along at parts, but was still interesting enough to keep one's attention. The combat is fairly frequent and bloody. Dialog wasn't stand out, but didn't make you want to rip your ears off.

Bottom line, if you enjoyed the series at all, or are a fan of Vampire/Sci-fi I would highly recommend the film.

Bill Nighy is pretty damn awesome. I went to go see the midnight showing of this last night 'cause.. well.. we were drunk and we thought it'd be a good idea.

I liked it as well. I'm a fan of Michael Sheen (Lucian) as well as Bill Nighy and I enjoyed both of their performances. Rhona Mitra's mouth kept bother me. One side, her left, seemed more swollen than the rest to my drunken scrutiny.

Of course, if you've seen the first movie, you will know what happens in this one. It's not a surprise. But still pretty good.

When I watched the first movie, I loved it, but thought to myself, "WHY THE FUCK DID THEY KILL OFF THEIR TWO BEST CHARACTERS?!!!?" I didn't much like the second one. When I saw the previews for the third one, and saw that it was all about Viktor and Lucian, I was a very happy man.

Viktor (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0631490/): "I loved my daughter. But the abomination growing in her womb was a betrayal of me and the coven. I did what was necessary to protect the species. As I am forced to do yet again."

One of my favorite deliveries by any actor in any movie.

The only reason I watched the other movies is Kate Beckinsale. I'll pass.

Rhona Mitra is fine as hell (see Doomsday) but this movie looks fucking stupid.

Really? I can see how she could do it for some people, but she looks just a bit too rough around the edges for my taste.

There is some soft-core in the movie, but nothing worth watching it for if that is the only reason. What they did could have been in a PG-13 version of the movie.

I just realized, it's that jawline. Way too strong of a jaw. She looks like a female David Coulthard.

Your call, man. I don't think liking her potential girl Mad Max-ness makes me gay though.

Drew

Yeah I'm not judging, I wouldn't kick her out of bed. I'm just judging on the "Is she worth 8 dollars to see in the inevitably bad movie" category.

Warriorbird

Yeah. I find her hot and I still don't think I'll see it.

Yep, no Kate, no bother. I may watch it when it comes out on TNT or something but wont go pay to see it. If Kate was in it, im in there like stinky string.

Again, Drew, I have to ask why you have a picture of my sister in your sig.

(Although I'd probably do Mario's sister too.)

Gee, I wonder. Maybe because he wants to plow the ever-loving shit out of her? ;)

Yeah it seemed obvious to me too. I mean, I explained it in words right before the picture too.

LOL you little bitch, you complained to photobucket and had them delete it? Lame.

Ahh, the new Underworld movie.

Ever since the first Underworld came out, I was, of course, a complete fan. The story is as you expect, Vampires VS Lycans, but with all the killer combat and gadgets, along with the smoking hot and impressive actors it really was just awesome.

When I first heard of the third installment for the Underworld series, I was completely shocked, cause I was not at all expecting it. I was pretty sad to hear that Selene wouldn't be in it, and I am assuming neither is Michael. Although I am very intrigued to find out the previous story for Lucien.

Maybe I'll go check it out by myself today. None of my friends are into vampire movies. :(

My new sig should take up some more of your time contacting all the websites and asking them to remove the picture.

Question... why are you looking at her mouth?

Now I remember what I was going to say...

Doesn't it seem like the armor the vampires were wearing looked just like the armor the elves were wearing in LOTR when they went to help fortify Gondor?

Sorry if someone else brought it up.

There's a good chance they reused it. I've seen the armour from Starship Troopers in about 5 different films.
