Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you're reading this review, I take it you're actually interested in the fifth installment of an action-horror vampire/werewolf franchise; so, let's make that leap and go a little beyond pointing fingers at the (supposed) lack of 'originality' or 'depth' of the script, right? Okay. Taking the movie as it is, its main purpose (entertainment) and audience in mind, I can *definitely* say that it delivers: way better than the last one (Underworld Awakening), Blood Wars is never boring, extremely fast-paced and the Selene we have here is less robotic and much more developed than we've seen her before. Also, and quite surprisingly, it expands the story's universe a bit, both creating a radically different vampire coven (in tone and aesthetic), while also revisiting the medieval eastern-european kind we had previously been introduced to in the original 2003 movie. By the end of Blood Wars, I guess fans will be pleased to see that if this is the end for Underworld, then there's a vague sense of closure that there hadn't been before (as much closure as it is possible with immortal creatures amidst a war), but if it's not the end, then it's evident that there's still plenty of life left for the franchise. P.S. Wonderful to see how invested Kate Beckinsale is in her character after all these movies. It really makes all the difference.
