It is oftenly an emotionless, poorly-writed and directed piece of video, which might be the worst thing you've watched in years.

Uninspired, pointless, boring...

I always found the expression "beating a dead horse" difficult to apply to anything.
But this instance of a movie is a great example for that expression.
The franchise died with Awakening, yet another movie "needed" to happen because money and a sixth movie is supposed to happen already as well. Nope, simply bad. It feels like this movie has no story on its own, it's not making a lot of sense.
There's nothing _of merit_ it adds to the Underworld universe and with that it feels just like "more of the same" but sadly without any substance to it. The only thing that I felt this movie is about is action. "Cool", almost non-stop fighting scenes but even that is shallow. Bleh.

Probably only for die-hard Underworld fans.

I'm fairly disappointed with this. I've been an Underworld fan and I really think it should've ended with Awakening (though that really is not as good as well). Yes, lots of action but the storyline is ?? [spoiler] like whatever was that super fast almost superpower like thing?? And since Rise of the Lycans I've been waiting for Michael's story to continue only to have him dead by Marius?! [/spoiler] Hopefully they end it at the next one because no doubt, they can't even hide Kate Beckinsale's age in some scenes.

Is the weakest of all, the plot is taken out of the sleeve, and prepare the way for a part 6

Excellent fifth installment of this saga

At 1 point they were just growling at each other and that just cracked me up, then I realised I was looking at it all wrong this is a comedy film and it was quite entertaining after

How many times can you shoot the same movie without things getting stale?!?

Well...usually...not many...especially when you have done it so many times as they have done it with the Underworld franchise...AND...with a smaller and smaller budget to boot.

Even Kate Beckinsale in her incredibly tight spandex can't save this one. Don't get me wrong...she's as hot as ever, but seem dreadfully bored about the whole thing. Though...she's actually one of the few redeeming factors. One of the other is that the effects are quite good in places...except for the usual bad CGI of course.

Anyway...I'm not going to list everything that is wrong with this one because that would take a very long time, BUT...especially ONE thing bothered me throughout the entire movie. The lighting sucked all the way through. Most of the time you couldn't even see what was going on let alone any details. I know the movie is supposed to have a gothic feel...but talk about taking it too far.

Watch Underworld: Blood Wars only if you are a fan of the franchise, or have a masochistic streak.

Mercifully short, this blunt toothed potboiler adds nothing new to an already diminished series. Should have been laid to rest several entries ago, preferably with a stake to ensure it has no chance of rising again.

Okay, so what exactly was supposed to be terrible about that? Unless you already hate these movies, what is there to crucify? It's just more of the same. And if you like Underworld, you should enjoy this next chapter. At least to some degree. I mean, I guess some of the effects could have been better, and the open ending is always annoying for a film that may not get a follow up, but what is warranting all the hyperbolic hate...?

I think it is a very good movie. I have seen all in the Underworld Collection and I love them. The fights are kick ass, Saline is HOT and is now a Day Walker...which was from one of the last (now dead) Corvinus. If you have not seen the earlier movies, then this is not the movie for you. If you are looking for action, good story line because majority of the vampires and few Lycans are all the same. Victor was killed by Salene in the first, Amelia in the second who happens to be the mother of the the vamp fighting with Salene. Point: good movie, series, and action
