UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS movie review

This is another in the series (but this one is a prequel like so many movie makers are doing nowadays) of “Underworld” vampire/werewolf movies but fans will be disappointed not to have Kate Beckingsale in this movie. Also the movie didn’t really make a big impact on me personally.

There are some action scenes that are worth watching but the movie is too hurried and has very little substance in it. Rhona Mitra as “Sonja” looks fabulous as the rebellious daughter of the vampire king Viktor (Bill Nighy), who falls in love with a Lycan slave Lucien (Michael Sheen). The Lycan slave then leads a rebellion against the vampire king. Just too bland a story for my taste.

My advise for people that have to see this movie: wait for the DVD…don’t waste your money to watch it on the big screen.

My rating:

Rating: ★★½☆☆ 

(Rated: R running time: 1 hour and 33 mins)

Genre: Horror (?), Action
