BS! Screen Gems, 77 Fearless Female Movie Heroes Who Inspire Us, November 18, 2011 | Rating: 1/5 Certainly, the visual effects of the predecessors have dated a bit over the years, yet they were nevertheless excellent for their time, whereas this film comes into an era with higher standards that it occasionally doesn't entirely meet, turning in a few iffy effects, but ones that are quickly drowned out by the excellent effects, of which, there are many, backed up by editing and sound design that aren't quite as upstanding as they were in the predecessors, but still help in immersing you in the film's style and, of course, action. Despite his best efforts to govern the Coven, the Council members have begun to question his leadership. With all of my complaints, this film is actually the least messy of the series, but make no mistake, when this film makes a mistake, it slips up where it counts, turning in enough storytelling faults to emphasize this film's lack of necessity as a prequel and make the final product underwhelming by it's own right.

(Update: Underworld: Rise of the Lycans will be released on DVD or Blu-ray soon. That just about defines this film to a pulp. Have a look to the first Underworld 3 movie poster: Underworld 3 is no Twilight: in Underworld Vampires are really damned thirsty of human blood… :). | Rating: 2.5/5, Why I chose to sit through this series? In the evolution from werewolf to Lycan, Lucian feels the responsibility of the Lycan race resting on his shoulders. Despite the best efforts of its competent cast, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is an indistinguishable and unnecessary prequel. Even better, it wipes away the toxic awfulness of Evolution. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is surprisingly campy fun, mostly succeeding through the power of its lead performances. | Top Critics (17) |, April 4, 2011 In their novelized Werewolf forms, Lycans foam at the mouths, much like a rabid animal. Who the hell cares for politics and shenenigans and forbidden loves on a movie like this? A follow up of owen’s idea. Really, this entire film can be described this way. We already had flashbacks and a brief history lesson in the previous film to the war between Werewolves & Vampires, and already exposed to how Viktor fits into the grand scheme of things. Like most Vampires, he has a severe loathing for Lycans but also a fascination with their unique strengths. Then count how many times violence is cut away from. |, August 2, 2009 Underworld: Rise of the Lycans: Official Clip - Escaped.

I like that Mitra will have a sex scene, but let’s hope it’s not the lame stomach-humping that went on in Underworld 2! We’ve got our hands on two new Underworld 3 movie character posters: In case you don’t know the synopsis of Underworld 3, aka Underworld Rise of the Lycans, here’s the plot: I hope to see her starring even more often in fantasy and sci-fi movies, like in Doomsday for example: Rhona Mitra rocks like hell!. Every war has a beginning. | Rating: 1.5/4, January 26, 2009 I was surprised it was good. What further compliments this film's atmosphere is its fitting environment, brought to life by Dan Hennah's production designs, which aren't so strikingly convincing or attractively intricate that you feel truly locked into this film's world, but certainly concieved well enough to sell you on both the era portrayed in this film and environmental atmosphere, while certain other technical achievements add even more flare to things, to a certain degree. In the end... of the beginning, while not quite as trite feeling as its predecessors, this film's story concept plummets into predicability-supplementing conventions that slow down momentum, which takes further damage from heavy-handed over-tightening of this story, and storytelling that has only so much in the way of subtlety, but quite a bit in the way of blandness that emphasizes the lack of necessity to this prequal and helps in making the final product somewhat underwhelming, though not to where you can't appreciate, at the very lest, handsome cinematography, fine production designs and technical sharpness that helps in crafting some thrilling action sequences, which break up substance that is still worthy enough in concept, and brought to life enough by strong performances and lively direction, to make "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" an entertaining and, on occasions, compelling prelude to the infamous vampire-Lycan saga, even if it does still leave quite a bit to be desired. -Rehash of material This film's likely being the most plot-driven of the series and yet still being much shorter than the series' first installment should tell you how overblown "Underworld" is, which isn't to say that this film isn't a bit too tight for its own good, because with all of its nifty notes, this film continues its series' tradition of getting to be sloppy. Inspired performances such as those by Sheen and Nighy, as well as occasions in which director Patrick Tatopoulos does justice to his ambitions, give us brief glimpses at unexpected genuine compellingness and, by extension, what this film could have been, and while those occasions are nice, they're few and far between, though thankfully bridged by consistent entertainment value that makes this film an enjoyable one and, with the help of substance intrigue, easily the best installment seen by the "Underworld" series up to this point, even if that isn't saying too much. Reel Whores last blog post..Repeat Bidness: Vacancy. 4.2/10. Watch that movie, sit back and count how many times doors are opened and closed. Then be glad that Director Patrick Tatopoulos is trying to make amend by adding some yet unseen footage featuring Selene to the final cut of Underworld Rise of the Lycans. Okay, perhaps the latter shouldn't be a compliment for a movie, but I guess that's what Underworld gives us. Let’s watch those two clips of Underworld 3, aka Underworld Rise of The Lycans: – Michael Sheen as Lucian (Enslaved as a baby, Lucian has only been able to imagine the full extent of his Lycan powers. Rollo has written over 680 film, TV show, short film, Blu-ray, and 4K-Ultra reviews. ), – Bill Nighy as Viktor (One of three ruling Vampire Elders, Viktor is a haughty, ostentatious Vampire overlord nearly 1,000 years old. I was more concerned with Rhona, the action and the story. The storyline essentially replicates that of Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, meaning that if you've seen one or both of them, there's no compelling reason to spend your hard earned dollars on the third.

Underworld Rise of the Lycans aka Underworld 3 Action/Fantasy/Horror/Thriller Directed by Patrick Tatopoulos Starring Rhona Mitra, Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, Kevin Grevioux, Shane Brolly Release Date: January 23, 2009, More details at: Underworld Rise of the Lycans Trailer, http://underworld-3-trailer.blogspot.com/, Tags: Action, Bill Nighy, Fantasy, Horror, January 2009, Kevin Grevioux, Michael Sheen, Patrick Tatopoulos, Rhona Mitra, Shane Brolly, Thriller, Underworld Rise of the Lycans, “[…] director Patrick Tatopoulos previewed a number of scenes from his upcoming Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Here below the first official Underworld Rise of the Lycans trailer: A crowd of armored werewolves on the warpath: hell, one should not miss Underworld Rise of the Lycans! The prequel will trace the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. Don't get me wrong, bonafide dramatic resonance might be more than this series deserves, but Tatopoulos flaunts his being a newcomer through superficial plotting, broken up by, well, blandness, which isn't quite as it intense as it got to be in this series' mediocre first installment, but potent enough to disengage, or at least pull you in just enough to reminds you of the final product's other shortcomings, both natural and consequential. :). A new international poster of underworld 3, aka Underworld Rise of the Lycans, has shown up: This new Underworld 3 poster is much better than the previous quad, but it still looks cheap… ;-P. Have you been disappointed to learn that Selene (Kate Beckinsale) wouldn’t be in Underworld 3? Coming Soon, Regal It's debatable whether or not this film's action sequences are as underused as the action of the original "Underworld", though there's no question that this film won't quite satisfy those who are going in expecting more of the quantity consistency in action that graced and helped in making decent "Evolution", and yet, when it comes to quality, this film makes sure to deliver on action that is worth the wait, going powered by slick staging and aformentioned technical proficiency, as well the occasional piece of epic sweep that was missing the predecessors, and harsh gore that gets to the nerves and thrillingly supplements a sense of consequence.
