First off I have to say that the first Underworld has to be among my top 3 movies ever.
This one, however isn't. Don't get me wrong, this is a good movie, it just doesn't have the same great vibes and story like the first one.
Things I loved about the film is that it really is a good continuation from the first, and the fact that its a continuation of a film I love just makes it worth while.
Things I had problems with though is that they changed the look, slightly, of the Lycans. In the first one it was actual people walking around in suits, and it looked great. . In this one, they totally look computer animated, they moved different, they seemed more flexible, the way they morphed looked different as well. . they were also much faster, and slightly smaller.
I also had a problem with how they changed the action. In the first one, if someone got hit, they would have a more natural look. . In this one, if someone gets hit, they fly 10 feet in the air and crash through walls. . it all seemed to 'Matrix' and less 'Underworld.'
Things just looked exaggerated, (SPOILERS) Like when a character is decapitated his head rather explodes and blood and guts fly everywhere, whereas in the first one, it simply fell off.
If you can get over the few changes in the look and feel of the film, and if you are a fan of the first, this is a great movie. .
Just do not go into this film expecting Underworld 1.
