Review of Underworld

Underworld (2003)
3/10
All In One Night!?!
26 January 2004
Warning: Spoilers
The idea that vampires and werewolves have been at war for almost 1000 years is the premise here. Nobody wastes any acting skill on it. The lead is Kate Beckinsomebody. There are so many flaws I am glad that it was loaned to me (I didn't shell out a dime!)

Flaws & Spoilers

  • Takes place in a huge city in which there is apparently never any traffic whatsoever.


  • Seems to be in England, but there are enough American accents around to make one wonder.


  • The main character seems to have stolen her wardrobe from Mrs. Peel of the Avengers, but, like most characters in this mess, she feels obliged to wear long flowing black dusters, ala Matrix.


  • Vampire's reflections show in mirrors.


  • Enough gun battles to make John Woo proud.


  • Viktor, the el tougho boss vampire, appears to be a pantywaist; More Arthur Treacher than treacherous.


  • The entire movie, with enough baloney to take two weeks, seems to take place in one endless rainy night.


All in all, a waste of time, but not a waste of talent (there wasn't any to waste!).
