“Werewolves Kick the @#$% out of Vampires, Part 1”

Break out the repeating crossbows, because Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or movie title above to download our review of the film.

Review in a Nutshell: Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is the best of the Underworld series, mostly because it riffs on Lord of the Rings rather than The Matrix.  Also, this time the vampires finally get what’s coming to them.

This movie contains:

Ugly Vampires.

Scruffy Werewolves.

‘Unconfirmed’ Kills.

    Try reloading. They worked fine for me, and I tried it on two browsers with a freshly emptied cache.

    Is Victor’s fate in this movie supposed to explain his appearance in the first Underworld?

  5. Daryl Surat says:

    That last image indirectly reminds me that…it’s time! It’s time!

    It’s…PAUL CHAPMAN TIME!

    No, all that results of driving a sword through Victor’s head is that his mouth gets a little bloody. I assume his beef-jerky appearance at the beginning of the first movie was a result of him being left in the vampire fridge for too long.

  7. Eduardo M. says:

    Vampire Fridge. Sounds like a great name for a rock band

    Just recently watched ‘Ninja Assassin’. I think you would have a lot of fun with it.

    Sorry I didn’t have a comment on Underworld 3.
    Always fun when Mom stops by to guest host.

    Daryl, be careful or this might happen.

    The combination of the fact that Paul dislikes Ninja Assassin (tied with Black Dynamite for 2nd greatest film of 2009) and this podcast in which he states his long-standing preference for the Lycans over the Death Dealers leads to but one Earth-shattering conclusion:

    Paul Chapman is on Team Jacob.

    OMGS! Team Jacob! I *heart* Taylor Lautner!

    Rise of the Lycans was the only Underworld movie I could get through without feeling like small portions of my brain were seeping out of my ears. I questioned a lot of things, but I loved the over-acting, scream face that Lucian had through most of the movie, so I could forgive most of the flaws. The only thing that nearly ruined the movie for me was the tail end, when everythings said and done, and you think they’re fading to the credit roll when OH! Look! Its the chick from the first movie, standing on a building with her coat flapping in the breeze! Because I had no goddamn idea that I was watching an Underworld movie…

    Hah, I enjoyed the 16 speed summary at the end. Not for every review, but fun for this one.
