I have to say that next to "The Wolf Man" this is the movie I'm looking forward to seeing the most in 2009. From the trailer I've seen, it's going to be action packed, and the fact that it'll star Michael Sheen as a younger Lucian and that Bill Nighy will be back as Viktor gets me even more pumped. And yet, January 23rd just seems like too long of a wait.

cruel jedi
I love the Underworld movies and i like the look of the trailer it should be good big grin

BTW Jan 23rd isnt that far away lol stick out tongue

Rogue Jedi
I'll watch anything with Bill Nighy in it.

Kazenji
I've only seen the first movie is the second one worth watching ?

Rogue Jedi
Yes it is.

definitely

MildPossession
First was fine, but the second one was just horrendous. I'll see the prequel but don't expect much. The Wolf Man remake looks rather good from the trailer.

Markus Corvinus
The second movie was just as good as the first, I don't see why it was horrendous, they pretty much went with a different tone, but kept the overall theme. Both are movies every fan of vampires/werewolves should check out.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret, this movie is going to suck like the first and second movies, sure they'll have their cheesy entertainment value while you chew on your buttered 'in the middle' popcorn, but the acting and storyline will suck.

ragesRemorse
I liked the first movie but the second was awful. Prequels are boring. The sequel was stupid. This means, Underworld 3= Boring & Stupid

AngryManatee
I like Bill Nighy but this looks like shit on a shingle

Markus Corvinus
I still don't understand how someone can completely judge a movie they have yet to see.

Well, I don't share your opinion, but I respect your opinion nonetheless. I still love the franchise thus far, and I think the prequel will be just as good as the first two movies.

Because it's the third movie in the series.

Markus Corvinus
Your point? That doesn't mean anything.

Because Lotr Return of the King was horrible. So was Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith.

Markus Corvinus
I'm still hyped to see this movie, it's going to kick major ass.

It's all opinion but yes, Jedi and revenge of the sith were awful. Return of the King was aces, however.

It's very easy to gauge a plausible presumption on the quality of an upcoming movie when it is the third of a series. A series that employs the same production and development team. Of course this is all opinion. If you liked the first two then chances are, you will feel hopeful about the results of the third. If the first two movie's disappointed you on all aspects and the third movie is being made with the same creators, then you will assume the worst.

And So was Army Of Darkness, Indiana jones And The Last Crusade and The Bourne Ultimatum roll eyes (sarcastic) roll eyes (sarcastic)

NonSensi-Klown
Well, RotJ is pure shit; even when compared to RotS.

RotK is le sekz though. And The Last Crusade was roxx0rz.

Matrix: Revolutions was also my favorite of the series.

Rogue Jedi
ROTJ was the shit, man. Third best of the saga.

Kazenji
Damn straight fool !!

NonSensi-Klown
I fall asleep watching RotJ. Only part I can stand is the parts with Lando in it.

I rank it down there with the first half of AotC and TPM, and ANH as a whole.

NonSensi-Klown
I wasn't alive when the OT came out. The PT is my OT. I never waited in line, dressed up, down and around the block like I did with the PT movies.


... that and they're just boring, except for ESB.

Rogue Jedi
And you call yourself a SW fan.

Kazenji
I too was'nt older enough to enjoy them back then when the OT came out but i've manage to enjoyed them now...

MildPossession
Oo it made me laugh someone thinking the sequel was just as good as the first Underworld... The first was not a classic but it was a masterpiece compared to the sequel.

Anyway, third is a dvd rental for me. Can't remember if I said that or not.

Markus Corvinus
I truly don't see what is supposedly so bad about the second movie, it was just a damn good movie. Not as good as the first, but definitely a good movie. The first two I say directly on DVD, so the third for me will be a theater showing.

You should be devoured by green ass fairies.

Worst of the OT was ANH IMO.

NonSensi-Klown
I'm tied between ANH and RotJ. RotJ had ewoks... but ANH had the Luke, Obi-Wan, and friends vs. Death Star shenanigans.

jaden101
if it doesn't have Kate Beckinsale in tight leather or PVC it's not worth seeing...fact

Seriously, a the Empire's best soldiers with hi-tech equipment...Get beaten by hairy midgets with rocks and spears.

Seriously, WTF? no expression

ESB definitely made me bored. Just my opinion though. The ending was the only part I enjoyed.

Markus Corvinus
Has there been any updates on UROTL yet?

So around 10 rebel troops can compensate for hundreds of irritating bears?

Markus Corvinus
Anyone know a website that may contain recent info on this movie?

Dude, a movie with werewolves and wookies would fuking rule

Markus Corvinus
I don't know what the hell wookies are.

I have pretty much no clue what you're all talking about and I feel bad about it. Someone tell me why I feel as though I'm missing something? I could probably work it out but jeez, talk about making us non-SW-nuts feel outcasted.

I LOVED the first two Underworld movies, very much looking forward to the third (so excited there's a third!!!) big grin

Markus Corvinus
Nice to see you're a fan.

Who's your favorite character?

P-Geyser
It sounds decent, but the only thing I will be missing is Kate Beckinsale. She is the only reason why I enjoyed the first two movies.

Markus Corvinus
For me there were multiple reasons as to why I enjoyed the first two films, but I think we can all make it without her for one film. I just hope that they don't try to make Rhona Mitra's Sonja too much like her but from what I've seen in interviews, they probably aren't. In any case, I'd encourage any fan of the first two to see this one because we finally get a movie from the POV of the Lycans and exact details on how they came to be through Lucian's leadership.

It has to be Selene big grin

Rogue Jedi
**** Selene. Seeing Lucian in Lycan form makes this a good movie.

Markus Corvinus
My favorite characters are Lucian, Raze, & Selene, so it's a three way tie. Truthfully, seeing Raze & Lucian is going to make this movie the most badass f***ing movie of the franchise. Two months and two days to go!

BruceSkywalker
At last the trailer...

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=49943

Markus Corvinus
The trailer absolutely blew me away, and now I'm even more pumped for this movie than before.

SnakeEyes
I'll probably wait for the rental on this one. Looks like it'll be slightly entertaining, not much more, we'll see.

Markus Corvinus
I'm hoping that it surpasses even the first two, which I thought were very well done.

Markus Corvinus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS63QeoqEOI

Upon rewatching the trailer, I've become even more excited to see Rhona Mitra as Sonja. Upon first view I thought: "Well, she looks like she'll screw it up because she'll try to hard to act like Beckinsale's Selene." I think that she'll do a pretty good job, I hope I'm not wrong.

Robtard
Before, I was fairly certain this movie will be shit; after seeing this, I am certain this will be complete shit.

Markus Corvinus
Why post if you don't like the franchise? Stop wasting your time then.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that people could ONLY share their opinions if they happened to like the movie in question, jackass.

Markus Corvinus
I never said you couldn't share, but you've said that same sentence more than once. And please, if you don't have an intelligent comment, don't result to petty childish insults. Thank you.

Hypocrite, much? How many times have you posted in here and they all basically equated too "This movie will be great!"?

Stating that I am allowed to post my opinions is an intelligent comment, as it's a fact, jackass.

Markus Corvinus
I like how you insult me for no reason, and further prove how unintelligent you are. For one, I simply asked you why you were still posting if you had negative feelings about said movie, so there was absolutely no reason to insult me. Your childlike intellect is only surpassed by your blatant ignorance.

I hope the Mods deal with you very, very soon.

Jackass, you took it on yourself to imply that I had no reason to post here, it was in the form of a 'loaded question", that's both rude and insulting.

It's clear that your childish fascination with this movie is making you act like even a greater idiot than usual, you take negative comments towards this movie(which you haven't seen yet) as a personal affront.

Why would they? I made a comment towards this movie based on my opinion, you took it upon yourself to start crying/asking for a confrontation, if anything, you're in need of a warning, little boy.

Markus Corvinus
I never said you had no business posting here. I'm simply asking that why would you pay attention to anything related to the movie if you hate the franchise so much. I'm not taking anything personal, you are. The fact that you're resulting to the same childish insult in each post proves that you anger easily, and you're very unintelligent.

I'd also like to know how I act like an idiot. We don't even post in the same areas, it's rare for us to even post in the same thread, so I'd love to know how you came to that conclusion.

Wait, let me guess: The next post is going to have jackass featured all over it instead of an actual explanation. eek!

I've reported you to the Mods twice now for insulting so if you're going to continue, at least come up with something new that may actually hurt my feelings.

Robtard
Jackass, how can you possible claim I don't explain anything, when you're responding directly to my explanations? Maybe you should take a few hours to think, before you post a response.

We've spoken several times, have you forgotten. 97% of the time we exchange words, you're acting like an idiot. Now, I don't know if it's on purpose, or if you're just that dumb; I'd bet on the later though.

Yes, you took it upon yourself to be rude, simply because I don't share your childish fascination with this movie, grow up, you're not the movie; you have nothing to do with the movie.

I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, you're simply a jackass. Now leave me alone, if you can't handle criticism towards your little pacifier-movie, i.e. DON'T PICK A FIGHT; THEN CRY WHEN YOU GET SPANKED.

Markus Corvinus
I could care less if you like the movie or not, but the fact that you continue to insult me shows me that you know I'm right when I say you lack the intelligence to go into a discussion without insults. I don't mean any harm to anyone on here, and I don't want to be insulted in return, either, especially by someone who takes a message board too seriously.

We've spoken a few times on here, yes, but I still can't gauge how I'm an idiot. There was once in my werewolves thread, where for a minute there was a scientific discussion upon which I asked questions, a few times in the versus threads where you agreed with my point of view, and then here, so I don't see how that in any way leads to me being an idiot. I just see a man who loves to insult people to try and make himself feel better.

Try again next time when you have a bigger vocabularly that allows for an intelligent discussion. Oh & no one is crying, I'm kind of sitting here laughing as I read your posts. big grin

Robtard
Edit: I'm tired on playing your little Sock-games. Find another playmate.

Markus Corvinus
What tactics are you talking about? I could see your point had I started the argument but I didn't, and you did, and I'm not going to respond to you any longer. Don't bother even responding, because it won't be read by me.

Markus Corvinus: Don't pick a fight, and there won't be a fight. Just let it go.

mr.smiley
I loved the first Underworld film,but I hated the second one.
So this is a tossup for me.
If the story can keep me engaged like the first film,but add in more action than the second,I might just end up really digging it.

Markus Corvinus
Well, the story is about the Lycan's rise to power, so to speak, and it's more about the Lycan's than vampires, so I think that's going to be really interesting to see.

Lycanthrope
I think the "Rise" is going to Rock. I always pulled for the Lycan in the 1st 2 movies ,which i thought were awesome and now i get to see them Kick Ass. I don't know,personally, how anyone could not like these movies unless they are just not interested in Werewolf/Vampire genre stuff in which case why bother to watch it in the 1st place. I am bummed that Kate Beckinsale wont be in it (damn she is fine with fangs) but she doesn't fit in the plot so o well. If there are any fans in orlando, Fl that want to get together to see it in Jan. let me know its on me. BTW could anyone help me with a cool Wolf or Lycanthropomorphic Avatar?

Markus Corvinus
The only reason she doesn't really fit into this plot is because it takes place before she was born. Still, Rhona Mitra will suffice.

kunglu
I liked both of the first two movies. So they weren't Citizen Kane (that was a film these are movies) You know what your gonna get when you see the preview . I thought 1 and 2 were fun enough. I don't own them on dvd or anything, but I'll watch them again before this one comes out. Looking forward to this cause Lycans rule!

Markus Corvinus
Have you watched the new trailer on Youtube yet?

kunglu
Yeah, looks good to me.

Markus Corvinus
Cool, glad to see you enjoyed the trailer.

One thing I enjoyed is that it actually looks as if the Lycan's are going to kick some major ass. The one thing that sort of irked me was how easily the Lycan's would go down because of a few bullets. I guess it's mainly because of the vampires having more advanced technology in regards to weaponry.
