"Underworld"

It's coming out on DVD soon, it stars Kate Beckinsale, and I'm interested. But is it a good film? I've heard others say that there are quite a few plot holes, but all I want to know is if the film is watchable throughout. Well?

The vampires have reflections. REFLECTIONS.

I wanted to see Underworld at the cinema but didn't because my friends thought it'd be crap so they didn't go with me. I am going to buy it on DVD though. I advise you to see Van Helsing at the cinema when that comes out this summer. I has Kate Beckinsale in it again just this time she is the side kick of Hugh Jackman (Van Helsing) a legendary Demon Hunter who kills Frankenstien, The Wolfman and Dracula in the movie. Watch the trailer at www.vanhelsing.net it's going to be a rockin' film :D

I too wasted my time seeing Underworld at the cinema. I thought it looked decent from the trailer, but was quietly weary about the fact that very little information had been released about it.

It wasn't like The Matrix, which had teasers and a lot of hype about it. I got the impression it wouldn't be amazing, but I certainly didn't expect it to be the steaming pile of dog dirt it was. Terrible film, with enough plot holes to make your average midnight errotic thriller on Five look like Oscar winning material.

A waste of everybody's time. Watch the two minute trailer - there, you've seen the film.

The trailer was awful. Overuse of CGI, cheesy lines, diving through explosions etc. Really bad.

Van Helsing has always been, and always will be, Peter Cushing.
NOT Wolverine.

And they're making a sequel to Underworld.
*shakes head*
They don't realise it had a strong opening weekend, but word of mouth made people stay away, hence the drop off after the 1st week. The sequel will be flushed into the multiplexes, and the lonely sound of two Buffy geeks crying alone will be the soundtrack.

It was indeed utterly gash. Unbelievable how they messed up really. Van Helsing looks just as bad.

Underworld is terrible.
One of the worst films of last year.

Werewolves that change into wolves precisely 3 times in the whole movie, hairless wolves that run upright and aren't affected by the full moon.
Vampires that display no vampire ability whatsoever, there's even a scene where one peers into a dark hole...er...vampires are supposed to see in the dark though so...er...
All the fights between vampires and werewolves are using guns, think lobby scene of The Matrix but with zero style or editing panache.
The entire plot is spelt out in the opening voice-over.
You don't see a damn thing, it always cuts away just before the action so you don't even get decent gore/schlock to make up for a terrible, terrible script, awful sub-Matrix style of film-making.
Avoid like a week-dead dog in the sun.
There's just no attempt to tie any of it in with the vampire/werewolf mythology, so horror fans will think "Hang on, this sucks balls", the action is poorly staged with chop/chop/chop editing so it's difficult to see which group of pvc wearing, sunglass sporting baddies is losing or winning, the stupidest finale since Equlibrium's "Here's the final battle! Nope, I'll just slice you inhalf instead" and the most pointless "super vampirewerewolf" character at the end - just a big gay blue thing that jumps about like a showpony.

You're wasting the money if you buy this stinkloaf.

A shoddy film that obviously wants to become the next Matrix classic. Think of it as a terrible Buffy/Matrix crossover.

It's quite an unfulfilling movie to be honest. Not the greatest thing I saw this year, but if you like Blade and Matrix - and are not expecting the quality of those to appear in this movie, check it out.

Not a great film, but definately worth a rent.

Did Buffy have werewolves?

Oh wait, Oz was one right? ANyway, it has Kate in it. ANyone with more details/review of the film/porn, please post here.

Im gonna bed now, head hurtz.
