I do like these prehistory things they are doing with this series because other than the Selene female vampire in leather hotness factor, these movies wouldn't be the same without Viktor and Lucian, IMHO the vampire and lycan patriarchs are the best characters by far.

Oh come on...I'm the only one here that wants to see this???

I want to see it though it could be because of the forbidden romance that piques my interest.

I saw it I won't spoil the plot just to say its BETTER than the first movie, the Lycans really had good reasons for fighting back as you will see, the love interest was well done mirroring one later in the first and second movie I found that interesting. And the vampire lord the grand bastard that started the entire thing shows some feelings for his daughter I thought that was a nice touch. And the ending is very cool it makes it fit in as the really first Underworld movie if watched sequentially I would think.

Overall I would give it a solid B+ for anyone and for fans of the Underworld Movies a A. Don't miss this one!

Oh, I can't wait to see it!!!
I was a bit dissapointed however, when I read a review that said the sex scenes between Sonja & Lucian were very lame..  Seeing as though Lucian is a Lycan, one would assume that he'd be very wild, feral and Primal with her... (my preference as well!)

So RubySlippers, since you've seen it- were the sex scenes HOT or NOT?
There's nothing inherently dirty about sex, but if you try real hard and use your imagination you can overcome that.   On's & Off's are up!

There was one scene and it was muted a bit but they ,I would bet, would have an Unrated Version on DVD with that material expanded. But frankly its a small thing compared to the story and excellent work doing a proper prequal.

I don't get it they have these guys ripping each other apart yet a little eztra fun and healthy sex is a no-no in the US, sad. I wanted to see more of the eye candy that actress playing the love interest is a luscious morsel.

Mmmm, Lucian... *makes yummy sound*

Although it's odd, the actor playing Lucian, Michael Sheen is rather sort of "meh" looking in other roles I've seen him in (most recently in "Frost/Nixon"), but douse him with sweat, a beard and slap on those hair extensions, and...well.....*fans self*

It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."  Sir Roger Bannister

It's Dracula meets The Wolf-man for the twenty first century... besides I think the term is really lycanthrope.
If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

Yeah but lycanthrope is bit too much for dinnertime conversation, especially with a mouthful of mashed potatoes. Lycan comes out much easier. :)

I definitely want to see this, but why is it in Elliquiy U?

Where then does it go? These forums are a tad confusing on what they're supposed to be. :-\

Paradox

I was thinking Off Topic, but anyway-- I've never seen any of the Underworld films. Which came first, so I can catch up before this one comes out?

Well you're not supposed to talk with your mouth full. Personally I think it's just people being lazy with English.

Yeah; Underworld the original and Underworld Evolution on DVD.

That was supposed to be funny.  :-\

Oh hell, I was trying to figure out who was in the role of the painfully-obvious Kate Beckinsale/Selene clone.

Rhona Mitra, one of the former Lara Croft models... This movie's stock just went up a couple points with me.

   I've not seen the first two Underworlds either- apparently this is the prequel which explains how the war between the Vampires and the Lycans started waay back when.....

Yep, and her name is Sonja, she is Lucian's (The YUMMY Lycan Leader) lover - *SPOILER* = and when her evil, mean Vamp daddy finds out, he kills her to keep her from procreating - thus Lucian's rage leads to the centuries of hatred..etc..

-Smiles-

Saw the snatches of what happened to Sonja in the Underworld which meant that in the prequel there would be no happy ending for the couple. Sad.

I'm gonna try going and seeing it this weekend. I loved the first two movies ans this one looks like it will be filled with action.
