[ChrisStuckmann]

@ShipperWar I love it!

[LukCPL]

It was a fun 3D action movie, I really liked it :)

[realcrazywoman111]

i liked them all ...it sucks u didnt like the film. by the way the Resident Evils were good.

[Blackmark52]

The first Underworld is probably the best, but was seriously tainted by a sappy love story born of puerile moralizing. (And culminates in a TENDER love scene in the next movie -- WTF?? a lycan hybrid and a vampire should have been going at it like animals!)

A fan would know exactly why the lycans were after the girl, but beyond introducing the hybrid child, Awakening supplies no story with the fight scenes and even kills off all the bad guys. The movie feels like a longer than average trailer.

I liked the first one best. However, I doubt if it will be your cup of blood if you're giving this one a D-. While the series did seem to go down hill, it didn't go down hill that bad.

I really think this is one of those movies you actually have to have seen the movies that had come before. You seem to have no understanding about what the movie style was about. I can see why you don't like it though as if you didn't like this version you're not going to like the other versions that came before. Though having seen all the movies pertaining to this universe it does stay consistent to its theme and action. Its use of CGI has been constant throughout the entire franchise.

how the hell does twilight get a better grade than this

[GArbedg]

Hey please tell where did you get you're theshirt

[moovieman222]

@picanka97 It looms pretty horrible, I'll save my money

[picanka97]

@moovieman222 NOOOOOO!!!!

[picanka97]

Everybody has a different opinion about the movies-some people like 1st,some 2nd,some 3rd,and i like all of them,but that doesn't mean the movies are bad!!!For me, Underworld:Awakening was GREAT, like the other parts. You're talking about flying and jumping and stuff like that...well,man, that's why it's called FANTASY-it's not some kind of a thriller or a realistic,action movie- you can't jump from a building, survive and look real! There was a lot of action and well-made effects! GO WATCH IT!

[themoviejury]

i had to watch it bcuz i am a fan of the franchise... and yeah. thats not the case anymore. its awful you ended up seeing this one. but the first and second movies are AMAZING! well worth checking out.

[Jacer92]

i like to thank u for the warning lol now wht i recommend is watch the first one because it was good for the most part but a bit predictable second one is just a bunch of action thts about it the third i liked at first but then i watched it again and it just got boring mostly iliked was because of Kate Beckinsale in black leather yep it was guilty pleasure

[thedarkharlequin]

Going to say, see the first and third one. Skip 2, it blew.

[moquestion1]

If I was to rate them I'd say the third was the best, the first was good and the second was disappointing despite certain things.

[ynavarro1988]

rise of the lycans

[KnightofDuroch]

If you hated this one, I can't imagine you'll enjoy the others much more.

[RyanOfSeattle]

Matrix With Vamps

[R0ckyB4lboa]

I think she looks good in anything...

[Cee325]

i love the first 2 but 3 is no good at all

[RiverEdits]

I loved this movie lol.

[musefanatical1]

aw...I really liked the first one! :(

[NaughtySnuggles]

I loved the first 3 films this one was horrible its blade all over again

[imeatakpa]

I'm surprised so many people haven't seen the first three movies. They're absolutely fantastic compared to this (and alone). And thank you for mentioning the lights. I said the exact same thing in my review lol, but before I watched this. I'm not a thief!

[crazedcomicgeek2]

the first and second ones are quite good. third sucks

[SaranghaeOppa]

I really liked the other 3 Underworld movies. If I had to rank them, I'd say ... Rise of the Lycans, Underworld then Underworld Evolution. I haven't seen the recent one, but heard many bad reviews due to the unnecessary plotline.

I'd say watch the other 3 movies when you're in a mood for some fun and nothing genius. It's kinda like the Resident Evil movies. So if you like Resident Evil then give Underworld a try. Besides, I find Underworld movies (1-3) are better than the Resident Evil ones.

[Helloandscrewyou]

@LukCPL so did I! I don't understand all the hate.
