But The Beckinsale is hot, and that's all that really matters.

The only Underworld movie I didn't watch was the prequel bullshit that didn't have The Beckinsale starring in it. Rise of the Lycans, or whatever? I don't give a fuck, because Kate Beckinsale ain't in it, wearing skintight black PVC. As such, I didn't feel it was a necessary part of the overall storyline, which is about Kate Beckinsale looking hot while she kills and explodes things.

Although, Rhona Mitra is a sexy bitch.

This latest Underworld movie...I can't even remember the title...it was also stupid. It was some dumb shit about a war against werewolves and vampires waged by humans in the future. Selene had this hybrid baby who would vamp/wolf out on fools and rip werewolves in half from their faces on down. It was so stupid that apparently even Scott Speedman (who?) couldn't be bothered to return. Like that muthafucka has anything better to do with his time.

Anyways, the Lycans had this dipshit plot to use the hybrid kid for their own purposes, because every time they tried to gain control of the last hybrid, Michael, that always went well for them.

I don't even know why they want a hybrid, because the vampire half of the hybrid is guaranteed to start ripping regular werewolves apart at some goddamn point in the movies. The explanation for this plot basically amounts to "FUCK YOUR EYES because Kate Beckinsale is hot."

And for that reason, this movie series isn't just stupid. It's stupid AWESOME.

I really liked the first film. The second one was ok. The prequel was meh. I didnt even bother with the last one.

[achilles]

Sums the series up nicely, I think.

I bought the first movie on DVD sight unseen because of all th good word of mouth it got but once I watched it I didn't get all the hype. Mostly because there weren't any damn vampires in it. Werewolves yes. Awesome motherfucking werewolved in fact but no vampires IMO.

Yeah, that's the way I see things too.

[Victorian Squid]

Never made it through one of these.

Sophia Myles was also a watching point for Underworld. She was the vampibabe that pulled the Sylvester The Cat move...

Hey... at least they didn't twinkle... or angst all over a high school...

What annoys me about Underworld is that the movies generally start with a cool premise. It always sounds like it's headed somewhere before it just becomes a mindless action flick, which is too bad.

Haven't seen the latest one though.

It reminds me tremendously of a Vampire: The Masquerade RPG. Like, it takes all the main beats from the game's setting, but conveniently discards anything that might be distinctive. It relies a bit more on (pseudo) science than the game, and the Lycans are a bit different from the Garou. From what I heard, the company (White Wolf) tried to bring a suit against the studio, but apparently nothing came of it.

Basically it strikes me as a "generic brand" version of the Vampire RPG.

I think the suit fell apart because White Wolf was trying to lay claim to concepts that pre-date even their own company. As if the whole vampire vs werewolf idea was unheard of before White Wolf. Pleeeease. The frickin' Ghostbusters cartoon did a whole episode on it like a decade before White Wolf was even founded.

The... hostility between the Garou and the Kindred was never a major component of either Vampire: The Masquerade or Werewolf: The Apocalypse. It was just the sort of thing where if the two ran into each other on the street, somebody was getting their ass kicked.

And that somebody was usually a vampire, because the Garou were living tanks.

I never bothered watching any after the first. I do agree that they always SEEM to have a really cool premise ... and then do nothing with it.



(And yeah, the werewolves were pretty bad-ass from what i remember.)

Yeah, I agree with everything you've said here.

I think I'd last about 30 sec inside her.

I did not care for it.
