Well, color me surprised. I was really expecting this sequel to the equally surprising first installment of the UNDERWORLD series to suck the bloody big one, but props go out to filmmaker Len Wiseman for knowing what the hell the audience is looking for ...read the complete Underworld: Evolution movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")

Considering my immense hatred for this film, I will admit that the Blu-Ray version, even though I still disliked the film the same the second time through, had me dazzled and in awe in relevance to the audio track.

Right off the heels of the first film, this battle between Death Dealers (vampires) and Lycans (werewolves) is still at bay.

Overall, Underworld: Evolution is a rather entertaining popcorn flick that should satisfy fans of Underworld.

Vampires and Werewolves and humans, oh my! I saw this sequel coming a mile away. With the unanticipated success of its predecessor in 2003 which grossed over 21 million on the first weekend, who didn't see an Underworld 2 on the horizon?

All of the fighting is visually striking in some way. Whether it's a camera move, gore focus, or a brutal blow to the face of the werewolves, Underworld is pure style. There's such a plethora of fighting, it's a wonder why they even bothered to explain a ...read the complete Underworld: Evolution movie review at Blogcritics DVD Review (Matt Paprocki)

If you can be bothered casting your mind back to 2003's Underworld, you might remember that it starred Kate Beckinsale as the werewolf assassinating Selene, caught in the middle of a centuries old war between vampires and so called lycans.

True to its serial roots, this equally silly but undeniably entertaining sequel to UNDERWORLD (2003) picks up right where its high-grossing predecessor left off and offers more of the same: Buffy -style monster slaying crossed with MATRIX-inspired gun ...read the complete Underworld: Evolution movie review at TV Guide Entertainment Network, Movie Guide

Of course, the critic in me readily acknowledges the inherent mediocrity on display here.

What's missing here is a sense of urgency. The film isn't slow by any means, but somehow it lacks energy. It just got to a point where I really didn't care what was happening. ...read the complete Underworld: Evolution movie review at zBoneman Movie Reviews (Kevin Jones & Adam Mast)

Aside from that, the acting is absolutely horrendous.

Vampires got an upgrade in Underworld, the 2003 Goth-chic horror actioner. In a canny spin on the genre, they earned the right to bear arms. Ostensibly, this was so bloodsuckers like Kate Beckinsale could blow away ''lycans'' (a.k.a. werewolves) ...read the complete Underworld: Evolution movie review at Entertainment Weekly

Underworld: Evolution is a music video of a movie. It looks good, as does its star, but underneath the stylish veneer is nothing but an empty shell.
