Underworld Opinions

He guys im almost done downloading underworld, as it didnt exactly lure me into theaters, and wanted to know what you guys thought about it. I know its actually more of an action movie, but its got vamps and wolfs in it so....


Any opinions???

It seemed like a decent concept, but the story was loose and the acting was porno-quality at best. It seemed like the actors were just reading from Q Cards, and there wasn't much else they could do.

The graphics are alright, and the idea is a good one. But they just couldn't pull it together.

Total, I give this movie 5 outta 10, being not incredibly horrible, but nothing to talk about.

UGh what a dissapointment! Mix The Crow with The Matrix and you have the setting, time, look, wardrobe, and mood of the entire movie. The acting is definatly subpar. The CGI is pretty lame and right when any action is about to happen they pan out or switch to another scene. Totally lame. Spoiler* The ending was predictible and lame as well. After the uber powerfull guy spends like 5 mins transforming into a vampire/werewolf crossbreed he shows up looking THE EXACT SAME:eek: :confused: all this cg animation and it turns out hes just an actor in make up. And the sword manuver she pulls at the end, totally predictible. Do yourself a favour avenger and save yourself 2 hours of your life.

now i hate to dissapoint you Arioch

but underworld was done with 80% practical effects. Theres hardly and Cg in that movie compared to oh say blade 2. Thats why I respect it. They could have gone the incredibly gay route of American Werewolf in Paris and had the wolfs be CG. But they werent. All that shit you see is foam rubber. They did that movie oldschool. For instance when she jumps off the roof at the beginning they had her on wires and they had her jump off the actual roof and then they stopped her about 10 above the gound. Then they had her get up on top of a latter and jump off and land. Use the shot of her falling -cut to- her landing and viola- Totally oldschool technique.


I persoanlly think this movie couldve had mad potential, but it fell short. And yeah it did kinda suck but personally I respect it because of how it was shot.

I was not hyped up about this movie so I was not disappointed when I saw it tonight.. I dont care for matrix type movies.. BUT it was not all that bad IMO. More action than horror, but I already knew this before watching it. I do look forward to future releases though.. I am more interested into the story, guess it will be a action soap to me.. Ha Ha !!

Way better, I kept waiting for Neo to pop out at some point. The acting was bad, if I had to watch the lead character kick or throw one more door open I was going to vomit. The guy transforms into the same guy only with darker skin. What the??? the vampyre were getting asses beat by werewolves, way way 2 much gunplay, I wanted to see fangs and claws and lots of blood. They should have made the movie take place 200 years ago, no guns all hand to hand weapons. Would have made it more interesting. This movie has nothing on Dog Soldiers for sure, good idea, good storyline, poorly executed. I give it 1 and a half stars. Good for a rental, not worth watching again, aint no way in hell I would buy it. Unless I had a leather fetish.
