| First off, I want to say that I am a HUGE fan of this movie! I highly enjoyed everything about it. From the sweet special effects, to the deliciously hot leather clad Kate Beckinsale to the never a dull moment story line, this movie has it all.
So if I think it is so great, then what is with the fact I am only giving it three stars? Well, the three stars are based solely on this extended cut. While it does add some cool stuff( more time to the film, a collectible comic book, a really good comentary track with the director and Beckinsale), it is not really all that great.
For one thing, the extra action added in is just more shots of the werewolves getting shot in the tunnel fight. The so called "sexy" subplot is entertaining, but not worth the price of the dvd. The comic is really lame, because it is a really horribly chopped up version of the movie.
The only thing that really shines on the dvd is 2 things:
#1. It has this really interesting documentary on werewolves and vampires.
#2. You find out what happened to Michael's girlfriend.
Other than that though, I am not really impressed with this extended edition.
BOTTOM LINE: If you love Underworld like I do, then you might want to still pick the extended edition up. But if you are more of a casual fan, then stick to the theatrical version. All in all a great movie though. Can't wait for the rumored Underworld 2 and 3!!! |

| UNDERWORLD, watch this interesting battle between (not humans as one would think) but Vampires versus Lycans (werewolves)
Selene (Kate Beckinsale of Pearl Harbor fame) is a Beautiful Vampire Soldier (Death Dealer) whose purpose is to hunt down and kill any Werewolves she comes across, until one day (or night it is always dark it seems) she comes across a human Micheal who the Lycans are trying to capture. Well of course she falls for this guy and the plot gets more intense as it moves along between betrayal, power struggles and internal conflict which brings the film to an interesting (and bloody of course) end.
The setting is very dark and "gothic". It seems like it is always raining and cold looking (which adds to the feeling of this film). Costumes are also the type seen in the usual Gothic Vamp circles. Action scenes are pretty good as well (enter the Matrix).
It was a sleeper hit in October 2003 and it continues to draw crowds of viewers. I saw the normal DVD (rented) and liked it so much I picked up the Extended version (2 DVD set unrated) it adds about 20 min more to the film and comes with some interesting extras. I particularly liked the documentary called Fangs or Fiction which touches on the history of Vampire, Werewolf Myths and Legends and even has an interview with a "real" Werewolf as well as two "real" Vampires.
If you like Vampire movies (or Vampire stuff in general)or are into the Goth scene, this film will satisfy both (or are both the same? hmm...)
I give it 5 stars, and look for a sequel in the next year or so.

| This movie was completely stupid and crap. I have watched and owned it, but I got rid of it finally. The movie makes little to no sense and is just plainly boring and would drive death to suicide. It is mostly in it for the straight male society. Buy Blade. Seriously. |
