Pros: Beckinsale is back in black...leather Cons: The third act is a little slow until the action starts
Underworld: Evolution stars Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman in the inevitable sequel to the 2003 hit Underworld. This unique and visually appealing action horror series is about a war between vampires and werewolves, and the two lead ...

Pros: Great action and special FX, plot is interesting, Kate in tight leather Cons: Speedman's a bit boring for an "action" guy, a bit confusing with flashbacks
The first Underworld was a surprise hit in my mind, doing quite well at the box office. The vampire genre can potentially be a great or a horrible movie and Evolution is definitely on the positive side; not too campy or stupid in which it makes ...

Pros: One "boo" moment somewhere along the way; Beckinsale's sex scene. Cons: Everything else.
Don't you hate it when a movie just goes through the motions? You'd think, with all the money dumped on costumes, make-up, pyrotechnics and digital effects - not mention the actors - somebody would have put some money into a script that doesn't have ...

Pros: Kate Beckinsale.
Action Scenes CGI Cons: Script and story a bit on the boring side.
I was fortunate enough a couple years ago to listen in on a conversation by the Producers of this movie Hey audiences really loved Underworld, we made a lot of money. Yes we did, why are you thinking of what I'm thinking? Yes, I think we should ...

Pros: Kate in tight leather, fight sequences, creatures, CGI Cons: a bit long, flashbacks to differentiate characters was a bit lame after a while
The sexiest "Death Dealer" Selene is back and I'm in lust! Not since the sultry Halle Berry in "Catwoman" or the slinky Michelle Pfeiffer in "Batman Returns" have I been so enamored with a woman's costume. I mean, I left the theater with the ...

by Alena - Top 1000, Jan 21 '06
Pros: Kate Beckinsale, Cinematography, gothic look, solid plot Cons: The rest of the acting is only okay, the side romance plot seems forced.
Here we are back in the wonderful gothic world of Len Wiseman and Danny McBride. This movie is crafted as well as the first, with its wonderful cinematography, nicely done action scenes, and solid plot. Plot: To open there is a very nice battle ...

Pros: Action, gore, fight scenes, visual effects Cons: Thin and underdeveloped story, some unexplained aspects
When the original Underworld hit the big screen back in 2003, it surprised everyone by becoming a big success. Made on a budget of $22 million, it's worldwide gross surpassed $100 million...over half of that in the U.S. alone. And that my ...

Pros: Good action and finale. Cons: Plot is a bit muddled.
The battle between the Death Dealers (Vampires) and Lychans (Werewolves) continues in “Underworld Evolution”, the sequel to the smash “Underworld” that detailed the battles between the two horror mainstays. The sequel picks up shortly after the film and ...

by munkwunk , Jan 22 '06
Pros: Action-packed from start to finish, great costumes and sets Cons: Poor plot and gratuitous sex mean that the action is all you really get
Underworld: Evolution is the sequal to the pseudo-gothic / cyberpunk action flick from 2003, Underworld. Starring the charming Kate Beckinsale (Selene), Underworld: Evolution is ana ction-packed movie from beginning to end that, quite frankly, doesn't ...

Pros: Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, Derek Jacobi, interesting premise. Cons: Everything else.
I'm quite the vampire movie fan and I haven't seen the first Underworld, which, from what I have come to understand, has gathered mixed reviews. I rented Underworld : Evolution hoping for the movie to be a decent vampire/werewolf killing flick. I was ...

Pros: Beckinsale is sexy Cons: Nobody else is. That's really all the movie had goin' for it.
Don't Ask Still not sure why I agreed to go see this movie with my dad and his cop buddy, but I did. I guess it was because they offered to pay or something. Anyway, I wasn't super psyched to see Underworld: Evolution. I would rather ...

Pros: Kate Beckinsale is hot Cons: Nearly everything else
I shouldn’t have agreed to go see Underworld Evolution. Unfortunately, a week or two ago, there weren’t many good looking movies in theatres. So I ended up seeing Underworld with some friends of mine. There were plenty of warnings that Underworld was ...

by crystalattice , Mar 13 '06
Pros: Kate Beckinsale (natch), the Eastern European settings Cons: Boring, sex scene too long, nothing original
I won't rehash the plot in detail since so many others have written before me. But in summary, Selene (a vampire played by Kate Beckinsale) and Michael (a vampire/werewolf mix played by Scott Speedman) have just escaped from the vampire coven and are ...

Pros: A lot of action and great special effects. Cons: Plot is all over the place.
Underworld: Evolution The Sequel to Underworld The Action I have to start with the best part about the movie. The movie is action packed and very quick. If you're like the person who I saw the movie with, don't ...

by eileron , Feb 27 '06
Pros: Action, Sex, Violence Cons: Plot development, dependent on original Underworld
It is generally my policy to review a movie based only on the movie itself, that a movie should be able to stand alone and that someone unfamiliar with the series should be able to go and enjoy their experience without having to review previous films or ...
