I really liked the first Underworld ... while not perfect, it developed a compelling and interesting storyline with great visuals, a good cast (ok..Kate Beckingsale) and a narrative platform to develop and extend the series into a compelling franchise. By those standards, Underworld Evolution has got to be considered a flop. It has a confusing backstory that adds nothing to the central characters and instead substitutes infantile fights and violence throughout the length of the movie and Derek Jacobi in one of the sillier and embarassing roles of the year. No extension of the promising storyline from Underworld is developed instead leaving you with the expected .. stay tuned for more! Well those who stayed till the end may have gotten the message but anyone expecting something similar to the original Underworld probably left a long time ago.
