I would have been happier with another sequel where maybe the two of them got together and ruled an empire of darkness? Was that too much to ask? Yes.

Number two was terrible. Less said the better, and number 3... Bill Nighy AND Rhona Mitra? Oh, Im in
The 2nd one was pretty weak and the 3rd is set to be terrible.
I'm really glad I'm not alone in loving this movie.
I just have this affinity for occult-themes loaded with violence, and Underworld was candy with a Kate Beckinsale wrapper.
ok, what the fuck? Do trailer companies only get like 1 piece of music to use all season?
That and, while I adore Kate Beckinsale and think she looks great in a black leather catsuit, she needs to stay out of the action flicks because she has a really, really girly run.
And now after watching the trailer, I wonder what happened to her. I thought she was contracted for another movie.
And I guess no Agent Provocateur this time.

I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone speak as much truth as this man.
Will Kate be gloriously naked again is all I want to know.
It had one of the best concepts I'd seen since the last time I opened up a White Wolf RPG book.
Which, in all honesty, had been a long time.
But not so long that I forgot that White Wolf basically created that exact same world.
Actually, who am I kidding? The concept wasn't that great when White Wolf did it.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
You do know they stole the actual story (not just the world) from WW, right?
Yep. Straight from a single sourcebook IIRC.
I remember that whole lawsuit.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Licenced novel, actually.
Actually, that's one of the few PA strips I had a problem with, mainly because WW really didn't deserve the mockery over that lawsuit.
How could WW deserve mockery?
I mean, outside of just being White Wolf in general.

It's the one where they had the WW rep telling Sony that they were ripping off their worlds, only to have the WW rep get interrupted by Anne Rice, who was then interrupted by Bram Stoker et al.
Edit: Couscous has the link to it.
That's a silly strip.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I think he's the muppeteer for the Count.
Really? Cause while the vampires are basically WW vampires, the werewolves are nothing like WW werewolves that I've seen.

Yep. IIRC, they settled with Sony giving WW and the author royalties and the proper screen credit.
This right here.
Werewolves that are sitting around as fucking humans firing guns at Vampires. Sure, there's some bullshit explanation for the bullets, but the end-result is the same: two monsters that focus on either being brutish animals or bloodthirsty manipulators goddamn shooting like any fucking normal asshole can. And we didn't need the stupid Romeo & Juliet angle. We just need werewolves trying to maul vampires while the vampires try to drink their blood. Or kill them so they drink someone else's blood. Who sees a movies with BOTH of these fuckers and expects, or WANTS, motherfucking shooting? It's insane. It's like having a movie with mobsters and cops and having them fight with gotdamned baseball bats.
Blech.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
Blade 2 was worse, though.
"Solar bombs! Yeah!"
I forget, did they conveniently forget they had those in Blade 3? Because it would have come in handy.
I mean if you wanted classic portrayals of monsters Underworld wasn't the movie you were looking for. Val Helsing would probably be right up your alley though?
Anyway, I liked that the first Underworld had a lot of practical effects and relatively few cgi monsters and whatnot.
It also had Kate Beckinsale. As has been mentioned. But you can't really say that enough.
Looked here up and her name is Rhona Mitra. Never saw Doomsday, but I remember her nice ass in those Doomsday commercials that came on every 5 minutes on every freaking channel.
Enlist in Star Citizen! Citizenship must be earned!
The first movie was pretty much just "World of Darkness" minus anything of interest and with way too many gunfights and not enough werewolf on vampire action.
