I saw underworld for the first time about 2 days ago. The plotline was confusing and didn't make a whole hell of a lot of sence...it WAS boring in most parts containing dialogue. The characters were 2 dimensional as hell, and the main characters appeared to fall in love without any apparent reason at all.
As for the action, it was pretty tame, and borrowed from FAR too many modern action films.
There were some potentially interesting ideas in this film...they just didn't do it right.
I can see why young people (17 & < )might like this movie...it being all flashy action...but yeah, overall, I myself was bored, I didn't hate it, I just don't think I'd boter watching it again.
Along with Van Helsing, it was another film I wouldn't call horror whatsoever apart from certain borrowed horror icons...more of an "adventure" but, for the record, Van Helsing did it with WAY more style.
If you wanna see a "light" action/adventure film along the same lines as these two but a little funnier, get yourself a copy of the oldskool fun that is "Monster Squad"...gotta love it.
Just to stay on topic, I'll say that although I'm not particularly looking foward to UW2, I'm sure I'll end up seeing it at some point.
