![]() ![]() ![]() These movies are much like the Resident Evil films in that they’re pure guilty pleasure movies, but at least here the sequel hasn’t started to degrade the series JUST yet.Īfter some background on the original characters from the early 1200s when Selene was “born” as a vampire and the lore about how Viktor (Bill Nighy) became a vampire lord and the creation of Marcus (the first vampire) and William (his brother, the first Lycan) came to be, we are then fast forwarded to the present times where Vampire/Lycan hybrid Michael (Scott Speedman) and Vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) are running for their life after killing Viktor in the previous film. The original actors are back, and Marcus is a fun villain. Sure, it had some flaws, but it expanded on the Michael lore, and gave Selene her first power upgrade in a significant way (I like to joke that she levels up each movie). It was a sequel that hit the ground running and was just as good as the original in my opinion. With Sony releasing the boxset this last week I'll be doing individual reviews for each movie of the boxset individually, and will be linked into the overview review with all the rest.Īs a huge Underworld fan back in 2003 (the movie my soon to be wife went on a first date to see in an Oregon drive in theater for our very first date) I actually had a blast with 2006’s Underworld: Evolution.
