Hey I saw underworld twice and I don't know if anyone picked this up on this thread but in the beginning did you notice that the scenes where always short with hardly any dialogue at all. And also that the kate beckinsale character at some time kept going to door to door to a new scene form time to time. You see that a lot form this movie. The concept of the movie was great and the acting made me at times laugh. But three things where good about the movie (P.S backfire nice noticing all those complaints you had before good eye didn’t notice the first.)
1.) The concept: I love when two famous icons come together i.e. Freddy vs. Jason, the classic Frankenstein vs. the wolf man. It’s cool how they brought those together.
2.)
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Micheal character turing into that half vampire half werewolf dude he looked cool.
3.)kate beckinsale in leather outfit......yum.

Underworld
This film was out about a month ago (also when I went to see it), but it seems the only film which I aint seen reviewed,
Basicly it is about the ordinary world but instead there are a few underground gangs of Warewolfs (who only want the place to themseleves and live in sewers), and Vampires (who live in a mansion and live the high life and have rules and regulations)
Basicly I thought the film could have been a bit more believable and a bit more understanding. The film is based on a vampire who betrays his fellow friends and helps the warewolfs to plan an attack to take over, so with that action a little vixon of a vampire goes into the cellar and wakes up the very first Vampire (leader) called Vincent(who has been awoken a 100 years early)!, then things start to stir up and alot of battles are fought, the battles are mainly fought to retrieve this "special" human who is half warewolf half human and probably something else...
Overall I think there was far too much rain and a very dark movie, supposidly there is set to be a second part to it but i would believe it would be boring...
Overall Rating: 7/10
(this is my first review, please tell me if I am doing ok or what I have done wrong)

I havn't seen it but from the trailer it seems very Romeo and Juliet-ish.

not really Romeo & Julier, didnt seem to be a huge love story tied to this movie, it does remind me of romeo and juliet due to the clothes and technique the film makers used.

First off, the Vampire Elder's name is Viktor, not Vincent 
While Underworld had obvious flaws, that's true, it was still a great movie. The plot left a lot to be covered (leaving it open for Underworld2 and 3). The characters were well-played (w/ the possible exception of Kraven). The love scenes were lacking, sure, but there will likely be improvement. The action, which was great, took a back seat to the story, an element that many movies seem to have ignored as of late. The dialogue was witty, although underused, the character development was obvious and well done, and many other thing which elude me at the moment.
I recently read the novelization of the movie, nd I must admit, if they put everything from there into the movie, it would have been almost perfect. Ther actually scene in the daytime (which is better than just having a time lapse), and other scenes left out of the movie, such as Selene killing some death Dealers (which shows some of her devotion for Michael).
Anyway, I give the movie 8/10, the noveliztion 10/10

I really liked Underworld. Kate Beckinsale was incredible as Selene.
I agree with Lord Soth completely about the novel. It would have been really good if the movie had managed to include everything that's in the book. For example, in the novel, Selene attacks Viktor before Michael (as a hybrid) appears. That would have been great as the film had too much gunplay and not enough hand-to-hand for me.
All the same it was very good and I look forwards to the sequel.
And did anyone notice that there didn't seem to be any female Lycans in the movie? I hope that we'll see some in the next one.

There's a SE edition coming out on DVD with close to 30 minutes of unreleased/added footage, May do the book justice, although I loved it as it is.

i admit there were a few minor problems with this movie but it was just overall pretty damn good....i stared at that damn screen...at sexy selene....in her tight leather(which btw is made out of latex....which is used for *ahem* other things... .... )and her awesome double barettas...her shurikens....everything about her screams assassin.....as for the story...i thought there was some depth to it...also...why the hell does everyone think this is a romeo and juliet spin off? if you looked at it close enough you people would realize that michael is neutral....he doesnt belong to the brotherhood of the lycans...
