Really enjoyed it. Not substantial character-driven fare, but a deep enough backstory to make it more than just a flash of stylish action.

Man I just love vampires and werewolves and I love it even more when these ugly species are both in 1 and the same film ! The fim wasn't scary, more like really exiting,thrilling and action packed. Only downside is the ending -.-

This is one of my favorite movies. EVERY time it comes on I make sure I watch it. I'm torn as to which I prefer between the two, but I love them both.

It has everything I want in a action picture. Gore, well choreographed action scenes,gratutious sex, and a few laughs.

I only wish Selene was coming back for part three.

i LOOOOOOVEEEEEE this movie. it's my all time favorite, but then again, its a love/horror/fantasy film, with bits of comedy in it in the way that some characters act towards others. i love the selene michael love story. i think the paint scene is one of the most ROMANTIC things i've ever seen. but then again im OBSESSED with this movie. it sucks that UW:3 is gonna be a prequal. i wouldnt mind one, but i want a follow up of evolution. anyway, i totally recommend this movie.

Underworld:Evolution has a much more fantasy like tone and focuses a lot on the back story behind the creation of vampires and Lycans.The storyline i feel is better than the first because it's more character driven with very clear motives for all characters. The action scenes aren't as fun this time around but the use of great makeup and gore effects make up for that.

I felt that this movie was about as good as the first. My favorite part was how Selene and Michael finally fell in love. The action was good. For this movie, we get to see Selene use a lot of hand to hand combat. There were only three songs used in the film and they were very good choices. They give off a hardcore feeling which was perfect for a vampire movie. As for the entire soundtrack, I can't really say anything. But there are artists like My Chemical Romance if you're into that. And the ending might have been the best part where Selene kind of gets a small portion of freedom from the vampire world. She can walk in the daylight. No, I take that back. The sex scene was the best part. lol. Just kidding. 4/5.

  Overall package is potent. A few rock-the-house scenes of slam-bang derring-do -- are nothing short of sensationally exciting.

  True to its serial roots, this equally silly but undeniably entertaining sequel to "Underworld" (2003) picks up right where its high-grossing predecessor left off and offers more of the same.

  A monster chiller sequel that is visually spectacular but rather overburdened with story.

  Wiseman, a former art director and music video director, has a definite sense of style and pace, and the creature transformations are eye-popping. In addition, the cast raises the movie above the level of routine genre schlock.

  They're still fighting in this sequel. But this is a more visually inspired, muscularly made movie than its predecessor.

  I especially like how, when Beckinsale's half-wolf, half-vampire friend Scott Speedman moves in for a kiss, you can hear the black leather of her dominatrix getup crinkle and crackle on the soundtrack like an old saddle. Sizzlin'!

  Writer-director Len Wiseman, now the star's husband, wisely moves this sequel to the countryside and wastes less time dispensing the same grog of grisly CGI combat and mythical mumbo jumbo.

  There's a ton of backstory behind Underworld: Evolution, which gets slightly denser and rowdier than its predecessor, but it's ultimately all in the service of a nigh-endless series of numbing, mechanical battles in which snarling protagonists and CGI monsters shoot, claw, and bloodily eviscerate each other. In other words, it's "Underworld," but more of it.

  Unfortunately, there's little wit or genuine suspense to elevate the proceedings above the level of a cheesy comic book.

  The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story.

  It's not quite quick enough to be anywhere near as gloomily engaging as the cast's original outing.

  With her long, black coat and midair karate-chop skills, Selene is more Matrix-y Neo than Count Dracula, which may explain why this movie is so brutally un-fun.

  There's no guiding power at work here; it's Evolution without a shred of intelligent design.

  The fascist undercurrents of this battle remain unexplored. Maybe one day, Hollywood will figure out that pouring acting-challenged starlets into black neoprene and sticking them in front of a blue screen do not a movie make. We can but hope.
