Consensus: A visual and aural assault on the senses, this vampire-werewolf sequel makes a lot of noise and features a heavy-handed, overly convoluted story.

Synopsis: Bloodthirsty vengeance is measured out in buckets, not spoonfuls for this hard-hitting vampire movie sequel. The story picks up right where the first UNDERWORLD left off, in the midst of a war... [More]

Reviews for Underworld: Evolution
Nudity and excessive exposition accompany gore-infused visual f/x in this splashy modern Goth extravaganza.

Overall, Underworld: Evolution is a vast improvement over its predecessor Underworld (2003), even if it generally suffers from the twin evils of stupidity and seriousness.
01/16/09
It never lives up to the potential of its premise about a centuries-old war between rival clans of vampires and werewolves.

I'm thinking about hair color after just having seen an action-horror movie; that's a bad sign.

Underworld films are a highly specialized taste, and those who've acquired it know who they are. Everyone else should give this one a wide berth.

Not a lot to recommend this sequel.

The movie is intermittently entertaining and often gory but rarely exciting.

The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story.

It's interesting and very telling that in the credits the actors are named last. It's Wiseman's way of acknowledging his films are not about performances but special effects.

I can’t even begin to divulge the storyline because it’s mostly unfathomable.
06/24/06
Takes itself way too seriously and relies way too heavily on its "multi-generational gothic soap opera" exposition volleys that crop up whenever someone's *** is not being kicked.
05/26/06
Evolution's action sequences are as horribly bungled as its plot, resulting in a string of repetitive confrontations that feel toothless even by the last movie’s standards.

There isn't much that is new or fresh about Underworld Evolution . . .
