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.

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.

4/10

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

6.5/10

While it is still plagued by many of the same problems of the first film, Underworld: Evolution is generally an improvement over the original and an entertaining diversion.

Last one was a lot better. This one expanded more on Selene and Michael's relationship, which was cute. The villain (Marcus) was kinda lame. Decent movie that requires minimal attention to understand.

Best Underworld movie. Marcus Corvinus is the best villain of the Underworld Films. Also this film has the most gore compare to other Underworld films. If you like gothic films for vampires and werewolves, this film is for you. Great movie.
