yeah...I took my daughter with me....geeezzzzz!!! I slapped my hand over her eyes for that scene and all the people around us started laughing at me!!!

I really liked the story...I do think michael got beaten up quite a bit but remember....he was newly made and unsure of what power he possessed.

I thought it was cool to introduce the father of Marcus and William...Alexander Corvinus. I'm confused a bit though...was he just an immortal? If that is the case then I understand why he blew himself up. He was stuck between a rock and a hard space loving both of his sons the way he did..

Gee...I wonder if in the next film there will be a little selene and michael? ROFLMAO!!

This was my review from my Dojo topic on Underworld 2:

Has anyone seen the new Underworld: Evolution movie yet? I got to hand it to this movie: this one picks up some of those scenes from the first Underworld beautifully, and more action-packed. Michael is more into his own powers now, and he and Selene have the coolest final fight scenes between Marcus, the new evil hybrid, and his brother William, the most powerful werewolf of them all. I sure could've wished for Erika, the seductress vampire, and Raze, the big muscular lycan to be in this movie though (including those other lycans who had survived after Selene killed Viktor at the end of the first movie). I went to their Underworld: Evolution homepage, and they said they were alive from the "Bloodline" (instead of an R.I.P. symbol on their bios), so I should of hoped they would return in this one. Maybe until the DVD comes out with an extended version of it? Who knows? *shrugs*

Anyway, I love the action scenes and I'm kinda glad neither side killed any humans in this movie, since the major plot was with Selene and Michael and Marcus. I give this movie a good 4/5 howls, since I wished their was more to it than those three, and I really needed to know what became of Erika, Raze, and perhaps the other survivors from the first movie.

You mean when Michael and Selene were *ahem* "getting it on"? Heh. Now you know what "R" ratings mean.

I too thought about the surviving characters from the first movie after I saw the bodies on the grounds. Maybe they run off after their masters were killed by Selene & Michael?

Maybe, but still I'm a bit curious if they're still fighting against each other or going after Selene and Michael or one or both of them helping out against Marcus and William. And, what about that war between them still? They left that one very wide open! Perhaps then, they're planning on a third movie for that one? Many questions there...which is why I'm hoping they'll release an extended cut version like they did with the first one. Besides, now that Selene and Michael had killed Marcus and William, how will they be able to stop the endless war when they were like possibly the only survivors after Marcus and William were killed, with NO witnesses of their deaths?

I'm guessing a third movie will come out to explain this one, as well as a newer enemy...

Selene and Michael kicked ass!

I think that's going to happen.

I'm definitely getting the DVD when it comes out!

From Yahoo News

Weekend Box Office:

1. Underworld: Evolution, $27.6 million
2. Hoodwinked, $11 million

"Proving the old Hollywood axiom that teen boys will go see a leather-clad Kate Beckinsale no matter what the critics say, Underworld: Evolution debuted in 3,207 sites and averaged $8,606 per screen. The R-rated sequel, again helmed by Len Wiseman (aka Mr. Kate Beckinsale), had a "a fantastic start that delivered at the high end of expectations," according to a statement from the distributor, Sony's Screen Gems. The action-heavy fright flick also outperformed theoriginal, which opened with $21.8 million in 2003.

Underworld: Evolution accounted for 28 percent of ticket sales from Friday through Sunday, with the audience 55 percent male and 54 percent under 25.

A third installment is already on the drawing board."

That's good news for us!!!!

Sweet!!! And it's number 1 at the box office too?! Excellent! I'll be seeing it on Monday. Can't wait!

Hehe...I knew it was going to be a trilogy just a few months after the first one came out...

I just wonder, after what happened in the second installment, how they are to make a third...

That's true, Blue. I'd forgot about that one, too. LOL!

Raze died in the first one. He got messed up by Viktor.

How could you tell? All those lycans looked the same.

I am so glad there was no crazy wall climbing (yea!),

*Slaps forehead* D'OH! Forget to mention that! Yay! NO WEREWOLVES RUNNING ON WALLS AND CEILING IN THIS MOVIE! That is good because we are NOT Spider-Man!

Yeah, it's so cool they didn't have that in this movie, maybe they read some on-line forums about it.

OK, saw Underworld: Evolution Monday night and I LOVED it.

Definitely a whole lot better than the first one. The action was more ramped up and the fight scenes were more elaborateand choreographed than the first one, with the opening scenes and especially the climatic battle, which was the best by far. Well done!

The werewolves in this one looked a lot better and I loved how Markus looked in his vampire form with the way his wings expanded out like that. Shows what having some extra moneyfor the film can do.

I liked how they built on Selene and Michael's relationship from the first film too.

Also, no wall climbing werewolves, woo-hoo!!

Interesting angle introducing Alexander Corvinus into the mix. I'm with the Busboy on this one. He should've dispensed some more tough love between Markus and William, although I can understand why he was torn.

I also liked with the opening scene, how they showed a bit more of the history of the characters and even showing some flashbacks to the first. Good sign for a sequel, to build on the story and depth of the characters, rather than just rehash what we saw in the first.

But with all that, there was some downpoints. They had a lot more gore than the first one (not that I don't like it, mind you). They should've been a little more slower with the werewolf transformations, even though they were a lot better than the first. They didn't need to push the fast forward button sometimes with all of them. I loved how they made William look like he was the king of the wolves, but I think the climatic battle between him and Michael should've lasted a hell of a lot longer. I mean, if William's the first of the line of werewolves, then he should've been a lot more stronger than Michael and kicked a lot more butt or at least done some major damage to him. And I'm sorry, but Michael's werewolf/vampire hybrid look, although a lot better than the first, still doesn't work for me.

But overall, it was a good film and a definite improvement on the original. I intend to buy the DVD, heck even the unrated director's cut version like they did with the first film should they go that route. And since it's number one at the box office, pretty much ensuring there will be a third, I say touch on the past some more, bring in Selene and Michael's kid into the mix and maybe introduce a new villian into play that should really turn both the vampire and werewolf clans on their ear.

Wow...there is some really cool stuff up for sale. Dunno why, but I want a box of UV Bullets...but not for that price, lol.

Umm, Busboy, can I borrow $10k.  There's a little Death Dealer costume I think I need to see hanging in my closet.  Actually, if you loan me another couple of hundred, I could buy a mannequin or dress form to display it on in my living room. 

What's that, you won't loan me the money, but insist on giving it to me as a gift!  Busboy!!  You're too kind. 

WOW, that's expensive-a-rino!
