Unashamedly, I really quite enjoyed the first two films in this franchise. The next two were poor and poorer still, and this one really is the nadir. Kate Beckinsale reprises her role as the rogue outcast "Selene", only this time she must a...

Kate Beckinsale is back as Selene in Underworld:Blood Wars. Director Anna Foerster helpfully recaps the Underworld franchise, useful as they are in main forgettable films apart from the vision of Beckinsale in skin tight black leather. B...

You know what to expect by now. This series has been going on so long now that this movie almost comes across as a throwback, since it's still drenched in all the post-MATRIX visual cliches. Beckinsale is as remarkably photogenic as e...

Some things will never change within the tedious and surprisingly long-running sci-fi/horror saga **Underworld** film franchise. The vampires will still feature sharp fangs that can pierce a hardened leather sofa with one bite and the werew...

Visually has a lot of the things _Underworld_ is known for, but in terms of quality? Well if you liked _Awakening_, you'll like this. Because they're basically the same film. I for one liked neither. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things th...
