Underworld 3- The official Thread!

[Nivek]

The promotional image team is pretty cheap for this film. Guess studio knew the profits wouldn't be through the roof.

 

[aaron]

i thought the other page had a different bluray box
that looked pretty

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Despite this making the least money of the 3 movies, i'd say it still was successful enough to warrant another movie, I hope its another prequel myself, Lucian is by far the best character in this series IMO.

Rhona Mitra is gorgeous also.

 

[aaron]

she's way better than fake kate

 

[Bastila]

Got a non blue ray cover??

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

she's way better than fake kate

I much prefer Rhona over Kate also.

Trilogy Pack:

Saw this tonight, I much preferred the present day set movies with Kate Beckinsale but this was ok, the SFX were pretty poor and the action lacked the flair and composure of Wiseman's, plus it had a cheaper feel to it kinda more like a DTDVD flick, but Sheen proved to be a charismatic leading hero and Nighy was on fun scenery chewing form. 6/10

 

[Eelectro 2]

yea that cover is pretty poor. lucian shoudl have been in front since it is about him. i like the bluray more simply because it has viktors eyes and the title is the correct color...unlike the standard edition which looks godawful

i thought the special effects were pretty good, not totally unrealistic or whatever

 

[Voorhees]

I saw this movie opening night and loved it. I think it's the best of the franchise yet, and am looking forward to seeing what special features the DVD may contain.

Btw, I'm also happy that this movie did well enough to possibly warrant a fourth movie.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans dvd, The latest in the epic saga of the vampires and lycans will be out tommorrow!




The Underworld series gets the prequel treatment with this third outing that fleshes out the story of the ancient war between the vampiric Death Dealers and their wolfman counterparts, the Lycans. F/X technician Patrick Tatopoulos (Godzilla, Independence Day) steps out of the effects lab and into the director's chair with this entry, which sees stars Bill Nighy returning as Viktor, the King of his vampire clan and father to Sonja (Rhona Mitra), a free-minded heir who tests her parent by heading outside of their castle's borders and doing battle with the ravenous werewolves of the surrounding area. Sonja also harbors a secret love affair with Lucien (Michael Sheen), the first of the Lycans, a race of lycanthropes who were bred by the vampires to be slaves and protectors to the bloodsucking clan. As the news of their love spreads to Viktor, ranks of the vampire elite help Lucien escape, leading to a revolution of the Lycans against their masters and setting up the mythology of the later latexed adventures featured in Len Wiseman's two previous films.

God, I loved the movie, but they really low balled the production artwork. Anyone picking this up today?

 

[Figs]

Thanks for the reminder Nivek.

Totally forgot it comes out today. Which also reminds me that I need to pick up Taken as well.

 

[nocomics]

Well I'll agree that the cover for the DVD box is pretty terrible and that Lucian should be main character on it. Its just a marketing ploy to try to appeal to the Kate lovers out there(like me) to focus on her.
I think this was the best of the bunch and hopefully they will do a 'pre-sequel' soon as they can..I want to see the war that takes place after Rise and before U1,so we can see Kraven/Celene's rise and back story.

 

[Nivek]

So, how are the special features on this?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Is this 2 disc or one?

The commentary was very enjoyable to listen too, and I really enjoyed the features.

Great too watch the movie, and I loved how they kept making hints at a fourth film.

Is this 2 disc or one?

Just one, but the special features are pretty good.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm diggin' the soundtrack to this film, I just picked it up. I'm buying the DVD Friday for sure. This was probably my favorite of the Underworlds

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

They dont look that good, oh well U:E was one disc so not so bad.

 

[Matt Mortem]

If they do another Underworld prequel type film I would really like to see something done with Amelia. I always felt she was an afterthought behind Victor and Marcus even though she was an elder. If they don't feel Zita Gorog is strong enough to pull off Amelia again they could always get Olivia Wilde, they look pretty similar

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I hope we get to know more about Marcus personally, I found him a more compelling character than Viktor and I was hoping he would have a small role in ROTL.

 

[nocomics]

If they do another it should be a pre-sequel to RoTl/Underworld imo. They should focus on Lucian/Kraven situation and possibly touch on Celene's childhood character.
I still think U1 was the best of the 3 and U2 was the worst. As I watched Rise a few times, the more I kindof dislike it as when I first saw it in the theatres. It's still a decent movie but it just lacks that something to push it over the top imo.

 

[Drizzle]

This one was way better than the other two, IMO.

 

[SurfDUI]

The first one was so full of B.S. posturing, and feigning badassery. The Bulletts were the star of the film...BOOOOO

4/10

Evolution was the shirt! Especially the papa smurf flying sequences, and you knew once dude got out of his cage the crap was going to fly...plus hybrid man, wasn't the chick this time around...

8/10

The third was was damned good, 'Stan Lee' came back, as in Kevin Therouix (sp) Lots of Lycans, and any type of slave revolt story is going to pull you in. Screw Vampire loyalty! "I guess he made a key" Even Rhonda Mitra's gourgeous wooden ass was fairly plausible, I dug it, I'll buy it.

7/10
