The third installment of the Underworld series; more of a prequel to set the standards for the previous two films. Set back in time a few centuries from the original; this takes place in the middle age era, weapons including swords and bows, no guns around yet. Seeing that fact I knew I was in for a treat, being that guns do a lot of damage but don’t show a lot of bloodflow; they might leave a person in a puddle but they don’t cut a person in two or send arterial sprays throughout the screen. Opening up with the vampires in the area controlling lycans (not direct descendants of William, but actual controllable warewolves through their genetic start at Lucious) to remain human through a necklace which would puncture them if they grew too big. Both upset about being in his situation along with his brothers and in love with the master’s daughter Sonya; Lucious knew something had to be done soon to conquer both challenges he faced. As the movie continues on, a few faces will graze the screen which will look familiar to you, these are the characters in the future installments and their stories just about start in this chapter. The few holes I thought this film did not fill in for me were answered right towards the last seconds of the film; and I am most likely going to see this film again in theatres after viewing the first two of course. It was a good feeling watching the ending, not much like the first time witnessing a surprise in a movie; you can ever go back and forget it again (unless you get REALLY stoned.) Again, as always, seeing a film like this in the theatres (unless you have one of your own) really makes it better; and this one is definitely one to catch on the big screen. If you can see it on a weekday or early on the weekend, it would be better; as this flick dragged a lot of stupid teenagers with stupid shit to say during the film.
Viktor: I should have crushed your skull under my heel when you were born.
Lucian: Yes, you should have.
