I don't know why I enjoy these Underworld movies so much, they're pretty bad, but I do. Kate Beckingsale returns as Selena and it's lovely to see her back (and I'm not just saying that because of her appealing outfit). This time around Vampires are at war with not just Lycans but humans too. That's right, the world knows of their kind and it's a real game changer. This added concept really does reinvigorate a franchise that was pretty much undead in its own right. That said there is some really silly action sequences and annoying plot holes. But as a guilty pleasure it's very successful. So successful that I'm actually looking forward to a new one. Grade: B+
Spoilers: There's a scene (inspired from Terminator 2) where Selena and her vampire friend are driving away in a truck being pursued by Lycans. On the street the Lycans leap from car to car trying to get to their prey. My question: why are all the cars still driving? Think about it; if you were driving down the street and a were wolf jumped on your car, would you really keep driving or wouldn't stop. This is an example of the silliness that is in this movie. I won't even go into all the bullets Selena uses without seeming to reload. Oh, those silly Hollywood fools.
