I actually really liked the first Underworld movie. I thought that the vampire and werewolf mythos they worked up was pretty cool and the action was great. Even the political maneuvering among the vamps was fun in the original but the sequel left me cold.
The second was less original in that it basically left the storytelling aspect alone. What passes for storytelling here is just a series of excuses to make bad guys stronger... and then crazy strong... and then- for the big twist- something happens to make our hero really super crazy strong just in time for the climactic fight scene.
No one is covering themselves in glory here. I hope they do better on the third installment.
