![]() Too many shots of Kate Beckinsale "looking intense". This movie fails to get a 10 rating from me for the following reasons: 1) Not quite enough "stuff" to fill the time. We're also introduced to some new characters and plot lines that add interest and new twists, rather than just rehashing all the familiar faces from Underworld. We learn a good bit about each character's past, which helps justify all the extreme violence they engage themselves in. This movie surpasses the original as far as story development. On the other hand, if you don't like blood, violence, action, mythology, or using a sword in a world full of guns, this movie is not for you, and it's NOT MEANT to be for you, so don't complain about it. In short, this movie delivers all of the above in great excess, so if you liked Underworld, you're going to like Underworld: Evolution as much or more. ![]() You want high doses of fight scenes, vampire and lycan lore, blood, violence, and Kate Beckinsale wearing leather or less. If you're going to see this movie, you probably enjoyed the original and are looking for more. The opening segment makes it worth a look, i definitely recommend it to anyone who liked the first or thought it had promise. ladies will enjoy much shirtless Speedman action. we get to see most of Beckinsale's lovely figure (MILF is an understatement) but no direct frontal shots. one where a guy is having fun with a couple chick vampires, and one between the two leads. There was also the added bonus of sex scenes. It was refreshing to see that the werewolves were still practical make-up creations rather than CG. the special effects are also great, especially the scene with their winged-nemesis pursuing their truck. The action scenes were bigger, with great direction and camera-work. Watching him fight and take-down werewolves was great. The last movie only gave us a glimpse into what he has become, and here we get to see him kick butt alongside Selene as what is pretty much an equal. Mostly because of Scott Speedman's character Michael. I liked the first one but this one was an improvement. Just got back from watching it tonight, let me tell you, the first big surprise was how how many people turned out for it, for a Thursday night the place was packed as if Harry Potter had just come out, it's been a while since my local theatre was like that.
