I saw this movie last evening based on the A- grade given by Yahoo Users. This is a C movie. Too many of the scenes are too long and too many of the scenes are downright pointless. At the theater I... Full review

As a fan of this series, I was excited to see how the background info would be presented. The film was entertaining, though a little slow in parts. It was refreshing to see Lucien in a better light, as the Lyans... Full review

The Underworld team did a great job of developing the early story of Victor, Lucian and the war between Lycans and Vampires. I felt that romance between Lucian and Sonya was authentic. The only thing I missed that was in the... Full review

The special features are not a particularly bad collection of bonus material but they're offered in the enhancement of such a dull film....Solid work by the excellent Michael Sheen nearly redeems the film but an awful screenplay, dull design, and plodding direction sink this bizarre prequel..... ...

The story is quite simple.....Bill Nighy is not quite as dazzling in his performance as Michael, making his Vampire portrayal more amusing than terrifying, what with his mannerisms and accent.....And even though the camera loves Rhona, it's Michael Sheen who gets the lion's share of the cam's attention, and rightly so.....Rendering a rather invigorating performance as the leader of the rebelling werewold camp, it is his sheer energy.... ...
