Victor, you evil old vampire you
Oh my lord, oh my dear lord, and to think that I had no doubt in my mind that this movie was going to be a Blade wannabe, I am humbled my the magnificence of this film, indeed it has some flaws but for the love of god man, Pulp Fiction has flaws as well, remember that one, On a total off chance, I have no clue why, I bought this 2 disc Un-rated edition at Costco, and for people who do not know what that is, it's a wholesale store and they sell new movie releases for about $5.00 less than other stores, I had a mind set to walk out of there w/a movie in my hand, but everything else there right then was crap, I saw this for $16.00, the cover and packaging helped me persuade myself into purchasing this fine cinema and I though if I didn't like it, I'd sell it to my sister for about $14.00, or something around that price. The story, well, you can read the other reviews for that, all I have to say is I have always loved Kate Beckinsale, she is so beautiful, my god I could not but just stare @ her throughout the movie the 2nd time I watched it, tee hee, I have not viewed the Special Features yet so I shall not comment on that, you can go to other reviewers for that one, anyways, I was extremely surprise, I did not just mildly enjoy this, I mildly enjoy movies like The Medallion but this, this is up there w/ The Crow for me.

Absolute tedium from start to finish!
A stupid, dull, talky, non-action flick aimed at pseudo trendy d*ckheads. It's hard to describe in words how boring this piece of Gothic tripe is. As for the "Fangs and Fiction" 45-minute doco. If you are expecting a crackerjack, supercool documentary on vampires and werewolves throughout cinema history incorporating the beasties from Hammer, Amicus, Universal, Columbia, etc. studios... FORGET IT! Aside from very brief snippets of Lugosi, Max Schreck (Nosferatu), and footage from UNDERWORLD, all you get is interviews with modern-day weirdos who think they are vampires and werewolves (the brain-dead as opposed to the UNdead) and people who have seen werewolves around the corner from their house, and vampires in cemeteries. Oh yeah, some ditzy Dutch deejay with ample body piercing and tattoos who figures he is a vampire and regrets the fact that he can't discuss blood-drinking with de common folk. Also a Goth bimbo who will have us believe that she only drinks the blood of "special" people (Non-smokers and vegetarians?). They wear an insignia around their scrawny necks that identifies them to like-minded bores. Then there's the guy named "Gypsy" who actually turns into a werewolf but he wont do it on camera because it is too tiring! Ummmm....YEAH! Change hands,Gypsy!! This is a never-watch-again featurette that is an insult to people with even ONE working brain cell. Somebody seemed to forget that vampires and werewolves are creatures of myth, legend and superstition. There is a heap of informative stuff about the making of this piece of cinematic doggy-doo (probably more than you need) in a very attractive package. It's what dvd is all about but more than THIS turkey deserves. The few sporadic bursts of action can't save the film but skinny, pastey-faced, empty-headed Marilyn Manson fans might find some worth here to feed their tiny minds. I kick myself for even watching this... but if I didn't, then I couldn't warn you about what a waste of time it is. I consider it my civic duty and my good deed for the day to expose this total dreck for what it is.....TOTAL DRECK!!

Am I being generous?
Yes, I think I am. If Kat Beckinsale is supposed to be a vampire, I missed it. Underworld is more like a try hard Matrix than anything else. I never want to hear this in the same sentence as Interview With a Vampire quite simply because Underworld has nothing to do with Vampires. It simply uses them to make a group oppose the warewolves. Kate or 'Selene' actually passes out from lack of blood (funny considering she's supposedly dead), when the light in the mansion goes out, the 'vampires' actually need to carry torches in order to see. And lastly, I've never met a vampire that can;t hear trains in a tunnel before. All in all, this is one of those movies that you watch if you're a fan of 'Dracula 2000'(yes, it;s THAT sad).
