Unashamedly, I really quite enjoyed the first two films in this franchise. The next two were poor and poorer still, and this one really is the nadir. Kate Beckinsale reprises her role as the rogue outcast "Selene", only this time she must ally with the swarthy "David" (Theo James) who is the son of vampire supremo "Thomas" (Charles Dance). Thing is, the ambitious "Semira" (Lara Pulver) and her militant toyboy "Varga" (Bradley James) have other plans for their coven - and in the face of the resurgent and emboldened Lycan "Marius" (Tobias Menzies) the battle lines are drawn for some internecine plotting, backstabbing and all out war. To be fair, it doesn't hang around and Anna Foerster doesn't let the black leather-clad Miss Beckinsale keep her feet on the ground for long (or very often) but that's really the snag. There isn't really much of a story and what there is is all gummed up by some really lacklustre efforts from pretty much all concerned. It misses the simple dynamic of the earlier iterations that featured a smaller, tighter cast with a much more entertaining and menacing story. It does pick up a little at the end, but I think this was just one too many for the characters and it misses Scott Speedman - and that's not a thing you read every day!

Kate Beckinsale is back as Selene in Underworld:Blood Wars. Director Anna Foerster helpfully recaps the Underworld franchise, useful as they are in main forgettable films apart from the vision of Beckinsale in skin tight black leather. Blood Wars also gives us a lovely vision of Lara Pulver's treacherous vampire Semira in a dress that is just about held up by tape on her breasts. The Lycans led by new leader Marius are slaughtering vampires are on the brink of victory. Marius pursues Selene as he needs her daughter's blood. Selene meanwhile has tried to make amends with the vampire elders with the help of David and his father but soon finds herself betrayed. The plot is rather silly and illogical, the action is at least fast and furious, the CGI is a little cheap looking.

**The mission Eve has begun!** Like any guys from before the 90s, I was too a big fan of Beckinsale. There's no one can match her beauty, even to her age of today. That does not mean all her films are good. She has stopped doing good films a while ago. Every time when her films get released, I was hoping for her comeback like the old days, either a pure drama or an action film. No, not this film. It is what, the fifth in the franchise and the feature film debut for the directress of the television series. As always, worth watching for Kate. The story continued, and it focused on the remaining vampires fighting for their survival against their arch-rival, Lycans. That's where the Selene caught between. But this time, it was about looking for her daughter, Eve, who holds the key to the future of these immortals. So the action begins where everybody clashes, racing towards their destination. The first three were the good ones. This and the previous ones were downgraded the decent series. The makers are already working on the sixth. Definitely not expected, after seeing this particular film. But I hope it comes back to the original course with good story, actions, graphics and all. This was simply based on one liner, and the rest of the film leaned towards the stunt sequences. Okay to watch once, but I'm not sure worth of spending 90 minutes for it. So if you want to, then it is good to keep update to follow when the time comes to try the next ones. _4/10_

I think it is fairly safe to say that if you did not like any of the other installments in the Underworld movie series then you will not like this one. As usual with these kind of movies it is one where you preferably switch of most higher brain functions before watching and just sit down and enjoy the show. The movie is certainly not a masterpiece when it comes to story and script. Actually the script is, at times, fairly crappy. There are for example a sequence were the Lycans are attacking the stronghold castle of the Vampires and the script writer taught it was a good idea to just let them drive straight into the center of the castle and breach the door before they got challenged. What the f…? On the whole the script is a typical Hollywood B-movie concoction that holds little merit. If this would have been the first movie in the series I think there would never had been a series made at all. So why did I like it then? Well, even if the script is nothing to write home about it is not a total disaster and it serves as an excuse to provide 90 minutes of good entertaining Vampire vs Lycan action. Plain and simple. Of course Kate Beckinsale is a good reason for liking the movie as well. Her moving around in her intimidating (and good looking) skintight clothes slashing up Lycans in various creative ways makes up for some of the not so stellar script. I probably pissed of a bunch of feminists there but it is not really like a care about that. The action and the CGI is reasonably well done and another reason to like the movie. Actually, come to think about it, Kate Beckinsale, the action and the CGI is pretty much the reasons I liked this movie. They could have selected a more charismatic bad guy though. For most of the movie I felt Marcus was bland and even a bit dull. It is not the best movie in the series but it does not exactly shame the series either. For me, I have to rate my enjoyment of it as above average compared to movies in general.

This franchise was a thing back then when the Matrix phenomenon was at force but now a days they should let it rest, otherwise a cluster of nonsense, much like the Resident Evil movie franchise, it is sure to become. In other words the movie ain't that bad but this entry is just franchise milking at this point. I wouldn't mind if it would be made a video game franchise though.

You know what to expect by now. This series has been going on so long now that this movie almost comes across as a throwback, since it's still drenched in all the post-MATRIX visual cliches. Beckinsale is as remarkably photogenic as ever, but the camera never lingers on her face for more than about two seconds. The running time is as tight as her costume, and it feels rushed. We have a few decent fight scenes but the gunplay is just a mush of noise with very little in the way of cool choreography. Still, there's fun to be had watching the gore and all the scenery-chewing that's going on.
