Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is the third movie in the Underworld series however it is prequel to the first movie.  The movie tells the story of how the war between the vampires and the lycans came about.  Compared to the other two movies in this series, Rise of the Lycans was a simplistic story and very easy to follow.  Although this sounds like a good thing, I actually liked the complicated stories of the other movies.  It added some suspense and guessing.  Not only was there no suspense to this movie but if you’ve seen the first Underworld then you already know how Rise of the Lycans ends.  I found that to be a drawback since I don’t like knowing the ending ahead of time.  The effects and action of this movie were just as good as the previous two.  There were several familiar characters but I did miss not having Selena (Kate Beckinsale) as the main character.

About 32% of critics on RottenTomatoes  recommended Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and I would give it a score of 8.
