    Overall package is potent. A few rock-the-house scenes of slam-bang derring-do -- are nothing short of sensationally exciting.

    Wiseman, a former art director and music video director, has a definite sense of style and pace, and the creature transformations are eye-popping. In addition, the cast raises the movie above the level of routine genre schlock.

    With her long, black coat and midair karate-chop skills, Selene is more Matrix-y Neo than Count Dracula, which may explain why this movie is so brutally un-fun.

  2. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Underworld: Evolution" is just annoying. Why are the vampires and Lycans just fighting consistently? No plot twists, witty script, or even chilly scares. It's a movie you'll get to watch and forget in a few moments. Expand

    If you like this movie you probably are 10, like movies like The Cave, and will give a movie a score above an 8 if it has nudity in it. Underworld: Evolution is a dreadful movie that is worse than its predescor in every way concievable. The horendous dialogue would be forgivable if the action was intense and thrilling, but alas it is not. And neither is the second installment in the Underworld series. Expand
