Underworld: Evolution

[annwfyn]

I am not sure if this is a wise move or not, but tonight pierot and I are going to the cinema to see Underworld: Evolution. We'll be going to the 21.40 showing at Surrey Quays.

Would anyone care to join us?

There's *winces* a back flipping girl in a corset. She looks kinda hot. How can it go wrong?*


*answers on an LJ comment, please.

Underworld

[castorpollux23.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually seen the first one. It sounds... erm, special. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Underworld somewhat of a rip-off of WOD?

Vampires in love with Werewolves, can't go wrong. The plot seems also suspiciously like Blade 3, which I liked because of the cute central European vampires, I don't care what anyone says! Of course, the first Blade was great for having vampires in sunscreen! Poetical, I think! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Plus, great fight scenes!

As for seeing underworld... er, I'll have to see what ends up happening later, and how I feel and all that.

It wasn't just a rip off of the WoD. It was a rip off of a dodgy larp WoD!

I wrote a review of it, a long time ago. I think it's here (http://winterthing.livejournal.com/269043.html).

That sounds almost worthy of my bad video collection.

It can't be worse than Necronomicon , Dracula 2000 or John Carpenter's Vampires . However, Necronomicon does have the tentacle sceen. Mouth tentacles! He he he! Wiggle wiggle wiggle.

Dodgy LARP WoD? Ak. Oh dear. But admittedly, in my book, Kate Beckinsdale can wear a corset if she wants to. ;)

It really is worse, at least, than John Carpenter's Vampires. Arguably it's even worse than Dracula 2000. The costumes were better in that, at least.

No. No. No. Don't be quite so mean.

Nothing can be quite as dodgy as Dracula: The Virgin Record Years Dracula 2000. You can't just go throwing those accusations out there!

It's a close-run thing. I'd have to watch them both again to be sure. And let's be honest, I'm not going to do that.

Alarmingly I have watched Underworld quite lately. It was being shown in a tattoo parlour that I was stuck in for a couple of hours (jez was having a phoenix added to his back).

The werewolf - Lucian - surprisingly cool. Kraven, also a pretty neat vampire. Kate Beckinsale - even worse second time around. And watching her as Selene gave me nasty flashbacks to Van Helsing.

Dracula 2000 I won't risk again.

John Carpenter's Vampires I am actually rather fond of.

JC's Vampires has Sheryl Lee in it, which is always a good thing.

Underworld has Kate Beckinsale. Which isn't.

I don't remember Dracula 2000 being that bad... I'm not really prepared to go and watch it again to find out though.

Re: Underworld

... I have to agree. Out side of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 I can't imagine any movies worse than Dracula 2000 ir JC's Vampires. .
Though you have to admit, Van Helsing shooting up from vampire blood leeches, 'cmon! And the whole Christian tie in, that was just er...

At least both films do contain scantily clad vampires.

On a side note: I just realized that over 75% of my film collection contains decapitations, including those two movies if I'm not mistaken. I must be a disturbed little girl.

Well they are following the Larp WOD plan then.

Stage 1.

Create lame background.

Stage 2.

Fuck it up worse than before.
