    UnderWorld

    I saw underworld over the weekend and I have to say I liked it a lot. It was a pretty good flick to be sure, and I was frankly suprised at how much I enjoyed it. Kate Beckisale was very good in it and I also liked the bulk of the supporting cast.

    I reccomend it.
    Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - Tyger

    I would have to completely agree.
    One complaint though, why the hell could you see the vampire's reflections????

      We noticed that too. But since the reflection was Beckinsale in a leather body suit, we got over it.

          This is on my "must see" list... if only because it seems full of action.

          My kids are wanting to see it too... but my Wife does not get into that kind of stuff....... looks like a movie night at the house for Dad and the kids. (We have them from time to time... thank God for multiple entertainment setups. )

              I bet they ran out of money for post-production effects. Same reason the final battle scene looked so choppy and cheap.

                I enjoyed it for what it was. It was cool to see Vampire vs. Werewolf on the big screen. Thats almost as good as my dream of seeing The Mummy vs The Invisible Man.

                As for the reflection thing, I can forgive that since different vampire mythos have different definitions of vampire powers and weaknesses.

                I liked the "Blade" universe a little better tho...it was more realistic. Underworld was much more surreal.

                and yeah the black body suit is pretty cool...

                  It was much better to see the Vampires vs. Werewolfs then that stupid man vs. dragons that was reign of fire.

                  With Freddy Vs. Jason earlier this summer and now Vapires vs. Werewolves this has been the summer for good fights.

                  Now all we need is that damned Aliens vs. Predator to finally come out.

                  And on that note, we were watching the previews before Underworld and there was one for the original Alien being rereleased. At first we thought maybe Aliens Vs. Predator was finally coming out, then when it said special edition Alien we all felt kind of jipped.

                    I agree there are many different versions of the mythos, but one thing the majority of them have in common was no reflection.
                    I make a point of trying to see all the vampire movies that come out. I'm still gonna vote for my favorite twist in a vamp movie was in Drac 2000.

                      Alien versus Predator (done well) would make so much darn money!!! My god man when are they going to do that?????

                      I want to see this as well only because the chick looks hot. Other than that the previews look like a Matrix rip off. The hard part is trying to convince my wife to see it because a hot looking woman in a leather body suit does not seem to interest her. Alas.

                      EDIT: And yes I lost IQ points from watching Reign of Fire. God that was horrible.....

                        well I did enjoy this movie hella more than "once opon"

                        The primary thing that hurt this flic was the unfinished and uninspired fight scenes. Olther than that I found Underworld a fun ride.

                        personally I hope this movie does well and can fund the sequel.

                        In the sequel I would very much want to see:

                        Emphasis on displaying the supernatural abilitys esp during fight scenes are pivotal in this genere of movie.

                        Kate Beckensdale in that party dress :P

                            Not a fair fight. Selene doesn't posses any special powers, while Blade has the stregths of vamps minus the weaknesses. Now Blade vs. Michael Corwin would be interesting (my money's on Michael).

                              Blade vs. Vampire Hunter D?

                              Corwin vs. Alucard?

                              Anyway, I liked it. Hopefully Hollywood will take notice and make more. A sequel would be cool.

                              It had some different thoughts of the myths, but it was alright. Besides the reflection thing, when she kicked down the door to enter the guy's apartment, she wasn't invited, but was still able to enter. Oh well, who cares, shes hot and would love to see her in dye pants.
