Critics 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.

C-

Underworld films are a highly specialized taste, and those who've acquired it know who they are. Everyone else should give this one a wide berth.

The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story.

The digital critters look much better than in the first film, it's fun seeing Derek Jacobi and Bill Nighy vamp it up, and the sight of Kate in that suit makes it worth squinting through all the murk.

While Underworld has always been an underrated action saga, sequels like these make it difficult to reverse that situation. [Full review in Spanish]

1.5/4

With more sloppy computer graphics rendering more fantastical movie monsters, the sequel boasts a lot of digital fakery directed without much grace. The result is dark and noisy and sorta fun to chuckle at, not with.

The plot remains a rambling nonsense of ancient evil, clan rivalries, and hidden history.

This entry in the underworld franchise is less boring the last entry but twice as confusing. The extra action made it slightly more entertaining than the first film.

Ok, I guess this series just isn't gonna get any love from the critics= but the audience really likes it and so do I. The first was awesome, this was just as good. A keeper for your collection for sure.

This sequel and the first are still the best in the franchise. If only Len Wiseman continued directing them 'til the end. Honestly, I love this franchise more than Resident Evil. This deserved more recognition and money at the box office.
