It's round two of the battle between vampires and werewolves. I won't reveal who wins, but the audience certainly loses.

Consensus: A visual and aural assault on the senses, this vampire-werewolf sequel makes a lot of noise and features a heavy-handed, overly convoluted story.

Synopsis: Bloodthirsty vengeance is measured out in buckets, not spoonfuls for this hard-hitting vampire movie sequel. The story picks up right where the first UNDERWORLD left off, in the midst of a war... [More]

Reviews for Underworld: Evolution
So this is what eternal damnation feels like.
01/20/06
Devoid of its predecessor's proletariat-aristocracy allegorical undercurrents and beset by more perplexing flashbacks than a Timothy Leary apprentice.
01/20/06
Comes off as a slight improvement over the original, if only because the stake lodged up its hindquarters seems to measure a few millimeters smaller.
01/20/06
What gratuitous guilty pleasures Underworld promised, Evolution delivers. Indulge.
01/20/06
If you listen to Marilyn Manson, read Fangoria magazine, and do all your clothes shopping at Hot Topic, then Underworld: Evolution is the movie for you. All others needn't bother.
01/20/06
I suppose bloodlust is enough excuse for anyone willing to endure 105 minutes of monster derby, but really: Who are these characters?
01/20/06
... Underworld: Evolution registers visually but isn't alive enough to cast a reflection or shadow.
01/20/06
A war between vampires and werewolves was sort of cool once. But twice?
01/20/06
"Violent femme Selene delivers the gory goods."
01/20/06
almost indistinguishable from the first installment... functions primarily as Wiseman's multimillion-dollar love letter to Beckinsale...
01/20/06
This sequel proves that Underworld has not in fact evolved with an ending hinting at yet another installment. Can we just please keep that in the coffin?
01/20/06
Murky, uneven, and filled with an extravagant, needless backstory that would make Tolkien double take, Evolution fails to live up to the promise the original film made.
01/20/06
Underworld: Evolution was a huge step up from the first film. But then again, there wasn't really much room to get any worse.
01/19/06
'Evolution' is certainly a bad film, but at least it revels in its badness with a sly smile.
01/19/06
all about the gore, blood and killing with some prurient, but ultimately disappointing, titillation thrown in. Sadly, some people will take that as an endorsement instead of as a condemnation.
01/19/06
Somehow manages to be both louder and dumber than the original.
01/19/06
it's hard to drum up the enthusiasm to call it anything more than a hybrid of unnecessary and average.
01/19/06
Stylish, but doesn't really re-imagine the vampire genre, cluttering the screen with creatures that no longer shock or surprise us. It's also a bit too long to pack a mean punch.
