Review of Underworld (1996) by Bruno D — 26 Feb 2017
Underworld is honestly a really interesting concept but the film itself isn't very good just decent. It's muddled with a decent plot, mediocre character writing, mediocre film writing, etc. As a fan of werewolves this movie isn't vet good in that department.
The werewolves in this film are basically just boring shape shifters with a mediocre design albeit pretty good practical effects. The series also is notorious for using the color blue for its main color palette which to be honest I do think fits pretty well with these movies but they over use it so much throughout all the films.
Kate Beckinsale is pretty good in the leading role and delivers a solid performance. The whole cast gives a pretty good performance despite the script problems. Overall tho this is a decent albeit kinda boring action movie that brings the mythos of vampires and werewolves to modern day with some pretty good performances.
practical effects and a somewhat decent plot. 2/5.
