Product Description
Genre: Action/Adventure
Rating: R
Release Date: 12-MAY-2009
Media Type: DVD
This prequel to Len Wiseman’s Underworld and Underworld: Evolution is distinctively different, especially minus the nimble vampire warrior star, Selene (Kate Beckinsale). Underworld: Rise of the Lycans takes its cues from the vampire/werewolf battles that occur in the other films, but director Patrick Tatopoulos focuses here on the young werewolf Lucian's (Michael Sheen) rise to leadership. Rise of the Lycans is set mostly within the walls of vampire lord Viktor’s (Bill Nighy) castle, so the film’s silver, black, and blue palette reflects a world happening under moonlight. From the outset, when Viktor brings Lucian, the first werewolf, into the world, this villainous bloodsucker’s daughter, Sonja (Rhona Mitra), is smitten with Lucian’s hairy appearance and instinctual intelligence. As years pass, Lucian grows tired of watching his race suffer slavery and imprisonment, and recruits a human named Raze (Kevin Grevioux) to assist rebellion. This archetypal plot is not so riveting, and what carries Underworld: Rise of the Lycans are the battle scenes between vampires and werewolves, which are excitingly fast-paced and brutal. The whole film adopts a medieval battlefield aesthetic that carries an otherwise clichéd story about illicit love and freedom fighting. Some characters, like the traitor vampire Tannis (Steven Mackintosh), also intrigues throughout, as one guesses who he will ally with. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans may not be the finest film in the werewolf and vampire archives independently, but its mixed monstrosity makes it unique and entertaining, especially on a big screen. --Trinie Dalton

I was disappointed in the choice for the lead actress at first cause of the looks between the original one used in the first film for daughter. But her acting skills were better than I expected. This was a pretty good film for being a third and a prequel.
Good movie April 19, 2010

What can I say, I like this movie, plus it finishes my trilogy. Yay.
NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST, BUT A TAD BETTER THAN THE SECOND April 7, 2010

Totopoulos didn't really add much to this chewfest, but this gore-galore, pic was pretty well staged. The acting of the principals was full of bite, and though there was more than a little scenery chomping, the somewhat tired storyline never got totally dragged through the blood.
Bottom line: It's a fun movie, with some great CGI, lots of atmosphere, and non-stop action.
