the Underworld series is oddly good.One of my friends thinks its some deep mythology wrapped in matrix action. I've only see the first two which were solid films don't really wana see the third since it looks dumb.

These movies looked terrible, but luckily there is Rorie to make it interesting. Off with his head!

I know these movies aren't great but I still enjoy 'em, don't know why.

The first was decent and the second one was just meh.

When the prequel came out, it was barely better than the second. They should've not made anything after the second movie.

@Artie: A lot of their style is pulled from The Matrix - but I agree. They are fun movies with pretty damn decent werewolf and vampire effects.

"It's Underworld, hey! Underworld! Under our world, vampires and werewolves fighting underground. Da da da, do dee do. Underworld."

It's always an ideal time to do it!

That's what I was thinking.

This video was super funny!

are they great movies? no, are they tour de forces? no, but they are fun, and they are interesting so i will watch it...this reviewer is too negative,

I have to agree. I like these movies. Yeah, they are dumb, so what, they entertain me. Hell, I even kinda like the backstory. We get it Rorie, you don't like them haha.

Rorie and Alex really need to do more of these features. I LOVE "Here's What you Missed", especially for bad franchises (Rorie's Twilight one was hilarious).

They also have to do more "Worse or Worser", which I believe only has one entry so far - Lethal Weapon 3 vs. Lethal Weapon 4. That was a fun idea; it's a shame they never did more...

Screened's features are the best. They need to do more all of them.

I kinda enjoy these movies for some reason. Still there are numerous problems that drags the whole series down but still there are some pretty good parts to be found.

Vampires, werewolves, Kate Beckinsale in a skintight PVC catsuit, this series had the right mix of things to get me interested. I fell asleep all three times I tried to watch the first movie. The second movie bored me so much I turned it off halfway through. Didn't bother with the third. I don't understand how these movies are so boring.

That's one good looking lady.

Other than that, I don't understand why so many people are into this series. It's like Twilight for dudes.

Completely forgot there was a 3rd movie in the franchise, pretty stupid popcorn flicks

But seriously, has anyone actually seen a great Kate Beckinsale performance?

I'd suggest Nothing But the Truth. From what I've heard, people also seemed to really like her in Snow Angels too (haven't seen it myself).

@HolySerpent: You should probably check out some older reviews if you think they hate dumb fun.
