But I walked out feeling "well, that wasn't as bad as I expected," just cause it was bad in different ways.
(Also, the sequel logically must feature Immortal Mosquito People, since the movie implies their inevitable existence.)

(Speaking of which, what the hell! They're doing an American remake of The Singing Detective -- but a movie, not a miniseries. This is completely the wrong thread for that, though.)

Underworld was woefully inept in so many areas that it was almost good. Almost. It felt like it was based on a really complicated comic, and cast really badly. Beckinsale proves that she really, really, really cannot emote in any way whatsoever. And as for the Ultimate Creature... Words fail me.

"I Am Sam", featuring Kate Beckinsale and Claire Daines! In LEATHER!
― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:59 (twenty years ago) link
But otherwise--what the fuck. First of all, the bad guy, that "Kraven" guy, that guy was the worst guy ever. I can't think of a worse movie villain--how bad were his line readings? I couldn't believe they let him, of all the baddies in the movie, stick around for the sequel. Speaking of which, how pathetically hopeful was that ending?
Also, you know what else really pissed me off? They seemed to go out of their way to stick the vampire characters in front of mirrors and other reflective surfaces, in which their reflections were always plainly visible. YO, VAMPIRES DO NOT CAST REFLECTIONS! It was like they were taunting me with it!
Grumble!

Of course, the director or someone should have, but this ... doesn't exactly seem to be the kind of movie people spent a lot of time thinking about. ("That guy from Felicity! Let's make him blue!")

I can't fault the movie for that: dogs being guards against werewolves is an authentic part of werewolf lore (and even moreso, werewolf movie lore).

just watched this.
Ok it didn't follow vampire conventions but its not like Blade did either (EDTA bullets used to kill vampires for instance though this has UV light trapped in a bullet surely garlic solution would have been more plausible). And what about the iron bars that blade uses to kill vampires eh? Its actually a wooden stake through the heart (it has to be from a specific kind of wood, but my friend, who pointed this out, couldn't remember).
The movie looked good but the werewolf/vampire hybrid wasn't that terrifying and not that strong (kate had to kill kraven or whatever his name was).
er, and what's this abt the Blade Vampires looking better? Not that much diff and you had Kate, in LEATHER, kicking and passing through them, looking absolutely great!!! who cares if she couldn't act and she is a vampire, she lost her family, she's not expected to act ;-)
anyway 10/10. can't wait for the sequel.

As Scott Speedman said, "If it makes two bucks, can't expect a sequel..." Guess he's happy he can finally afford to pay for his Jag, outright.

It does sound a lot like him... but I don't think it's Karl
― maf you one two (maffew12), Thursday, 16 September 2021 00:29 (three years ago) link
It’s Len Wiseman, surely?
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Thursday, 16 September 2021 00:30 (three years ago) link
I mean not only does it sound like Karl it’s also the same speech patterns
It’s definitely not a Underworld proper track. Unless I’ve developed amnesia
Might be one of those various tunes he’s guested on
Or maybe it’s just not him at all
whatever it is I want a copy, I loved it
