Underworld: Blood Wars
Rating 4 out of 10
Years ago when Jean Claude Van Damme was making movies (yes I am old) he had a couple good ones to start his career followed by many stinkers. I kept blindly going to one stinker after another hoping it would be good. I've reached that same point with the Underworld movies. The first one or two were pretty good. The past several have not been good. As I have said here before anytime Kate Beckinsale is in black leather I have to go to the theater. I think with this movie I have reached my limit.
This movie is a mess. I can't even remember what happened in the last one. I think somehow Selene (Kate) delivered a baby while in a coma. That baby was half vampire and half werewolf. Somehow once she got older it was found her blood could make either breed superpowered! They don't really say how or why but that doesn't really matter. The vampires fight each other as well as the werewolves.
In the past the fight scenes were reason enough to pay for your ticket. I guess they ran out of budget for action scenes as now they fight each other with machine guns. It comes across as silly rather than exciting. When major characters die you don't care.
I wouldn't even rent this one folks. If you need a vampire fix, or a Kate fix, rent one of the first two movies. I"m not sure how this one even got made.
