Moral Lesson:

* Reaction:

If I were to describe the latest installment of the Underworld franchise in a single word, it would be chaos.  The movie was dark, literally, from beginning to end.  It started out with action, and ended in action.  It was like an action movie set in a very dark place where Norris and Stalone were replaced by vampires and lycans.

The plot was simple, told through 60 minutes of intense flying, running, chasing, biting, shooting, killing, and then more killing.  The movie was so dominated by fight sequences that came one after the other, there was barely enough time for the audience to catch their breath and take the story in.

At the end of the movie, questions left unanswered were aplenty.  I, for one, found myself slightly exhausted by all the action.  Aside from Kate Beckinsale, kick-ass original she-vampire that she was, the rest of the movie pretty much sucked.

 

Have you watched that film? How was it?
