Underworld 5

Was reminded of these movies again today. They've always been a guilty pleasure of mine.

I realized there must be a new one in the works and sure enough there is. Oct 2016 release date - IMDB? Not sure if that's confirmed.

The 4th one was okay, but as long as Kate Beckinsale is in them, I'll keep watching with pleasure (if you know what I mean)...

And for your viewing pleasure, some pretty amusing bloopers from the 4th film...

Viktor was a great character. RIP Viktor. You'll be missed.

Now we need a roid vampire one that can match the super lycan....uhuh

Kate's fine but I'm on Team Milla.

And then it'll turn into CGI battles on top of buildings destroying entire cities, like a Michael Bay movie? That would be awesome... 👇

For those of you who didn't know (because I just found this out the other day), there is short anime based on Underworld. It's called Underworld: Endless War. Haven't really had a chance to see much of it yet, though, it's kind of hard to find it seems.

Only saw what I believe were the first two films. Might consider this one should I catch up on the others sometime. Guilty pleasure sums up the series well enough, aye.

^ The third one is actually pretty cool, kind of different. It's a prequel that leads into the first film. I need to watch the 4th one again, only seen it once, and it's been a long time.

Third one was the best IMO. Medieval times and Viktor there from start to finish.

I watched Underworld: Awakening again the other day and rather enjoyed it. I actually enjoyed the progression of the story, so I'm curious to see how it continues.

I think the second one Evolution might be the worst of the series, because it didn't really add much to the story. It does have some cool make-up effects and set pieces, though, so it's still cool.

-Enjoyed the first
-Second was meh
-Third was alright, mostly due to Michael Sheen's character being fleshed out
-Fourth was meh

Not expecting much from the fifth, hopefully Charles Dance's character has more than a secondary role this time around, probably the best actor left in this franchise now that Sheen and Nighy are gone

I miss Viktor and highly doubt any character will come close to his brilliance.

Yeah, I agree. Would love to see him have a bigger role. Doesn't seem like he's going to be a natural leader, though, after watching the 4th film again. His son had defy him in order to defend their premises.

I just like these movies, not sure why (KATE BECKINSALE). I guess just the dark world they create, the uncompromising violence. Visually I think it's a very striking series, muted color palette, it has a fun story progressing through the ages. Also KATE BECKINSALE.

It pisses me off that these films have worse ratings on RT than the Twilight series. That's effing ridiculous to me. Those movies are such sloppy pieces of shit. I know Underworld isn't Citizen Cane either, but they aren't nearly the clusterf#ck that the Twilight movies are.

First one was good, the rest sucked to varying degrees. Sheen, Nighy, Jacobi, and Dance are easily the standouts, though I'd give almost anything to rail Kate Beckinsale.

If she she continues to be smoking hot and Charles Dance continued to be Charles Dance, maybe 5 has a shot.

I liked the first and and second one that's about it. This series and RE has made me hate franchises. I am not looking forward to anymore of these

Is this movie still coming? I wish Markus and William were still around though... This whole next gen vamp and Lucan kids thing doesn't really do anything for me.

I'm down for another one as long as they go back to just regular Lycans and Vampires. Sick of all the hybrids running around.

There was literally nothing memorable about the fourth film. It felt like half of it was just stock footage they shot during the other films and tossed in as filler. The plot was weak, the action wasn't anywhere near as good as the other films, and it didn't really connect very plausibly with the other either.

Five can be the charm; the 5th Fast & Furious is definitely the best put together out of the entire series, so we shall see what happens here.

I liked the first two. Viktor was indeed awesome. I bought the first movie at a family dollar for like $3 a few months ago. I still enjoy it. I actually enjoyed Evolution as well. After that..not really, though I like the character of Lucian I did not like the movie about him. The 4th one was just..not good.

I loved the 3rd movie. Liked the first one. Second one was bearable. Fouth movie was trash.
One thing I realised from watching all those movies is that I don't like Kate Beckinsale. Her acting was subpar in all movies except 2
