So I saw Rise of the Lycans tonight for the second time (thank you Chris Fleming for finally paying for something…lol) and I just had to post a blog about it. I really, really liked this film. It’s very rare I see a movie twice in the theater but no one in the group tonight had seen it and I really liked it when I saw it a couple weeks and I made Chris pay my way so I was good. I thought Lucian was a wonderfully complex and conflicted character, which when mixed together in the right combination, makes for a riveting and sexy vibe that is fun to watch. The prison scenes when he’s mostly shirtless are way hot.
I like how the story lines compliment each other and I love how the this prequel bookends right up to the start of the first Underworld. The action and fight scenes are a little graphic but after all we are dealing with two of the most sinister dark world species: vampires and werewolves. Finally, honorable mention has to go to the character of Victor. Oh my gosh! His character is both intimidating and powerful…and ruthless. His iron-fisted lordship over the coven is as good and convincing a performance as Michael Corleone in the Godfather II. This films gets an A from me and if you haven’t seen it yet and are looking for something fun to do this weekend, you should definitely check it out.

I’ve been wanting to see this but wasn’t sure if I’d wait for it to come out on DVD or go to the theaters. ( I love the Underworld series, but I didn’t even know this was out until my mother told me, lol. I am waaaayyy behind on movies.)
Thanks for the review!!!

Underworld 3 was fantastic. Definitely kept up with the whole dark theme. The fight scenes were awesome as usual. There was a hole left at the end I didn’t like..
