I'm not very fond of vampire movies, cause I feel like they're all the same anyways. So when Ervin wanted to watch
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, I had to drag myself to the movie house, cause all of my tactics/ distractions already failed.
Basically, the movie is a prequel to the Underworld series of film, which previously starred Kate Beckinsale. And when I found out that she was not even on it, I prepared myself for disappointment.
I won't elaborate anymore on the story because like I've said, vampire movies are all the same. This one happened to just throw in some werewolves as a plus. But since my mind was not wandering anywhere else while watching the movie, I think I liked (not loved) the movie. Story was consistent and Effects were not too shabby either.
Usually, I have a love/hate thing to prequels, cause it either gives you another layer, or understanding to the original movie, or it can just plainly destroy how great the original movie was. But for this movie, I'd say it was a good move :) Movie's got gore, suspense, a love story, and plenty of fight scenes, perfect this Valentine's. Go Figure!
