I am tired of pretending this isn't kino in most distilled and pure form.

Awakening

Pros
> Selene is in full don't give a fuck mode & will feast on humans without hesitation.
> Most gore of the series.
> India Eisley gives a good performance.
> Selene's infiltration of the HQ at the end with the silver nitrate smoke is unique & well done.
> Michael Ealy is good here as a human sympathetic to vampires but not subservient to them.

Mixed Elements
> Charles Dance is good but kinda wasted. I get they didn't want him to be a retread of Victor but still.
> Heavy focus on good action but not much mythos/world building.
> Theo James is decent but a generic pretty boy.
> Making the werewolves the full baddies again after the nuance of the previous films.

Cons
> Too many questions left unanswered (michael)

Extinction

(PROS)
> Desert setting is great & gritty.
> Scenes with the cast exploring & foraging for food in dark abandoned buildings gives us some of the most suspense/mood of the series.
> Best cinematography & use of light/shadows of the series.
> Milla's acting is fairly better than in the first 2 films.
> Her battles with the dual machetes is badass without being too over the top.
> Action in general is better shot than in Apocalypse.
> Alice's outfit is the best of the series. Very sexy but the big jacket hides how small and frail her arms are.
> Oded Fehr from the Mummy films is solid here.
> Ali Larter is good as Claire Redfield but underused.
> Iain Glen as Dr Isaacs is the best villain of the series with a rational approaching altruistic motive here.

(CONS)
> What ends up happening to Isaacs is generic & wasteful.
> Final battle was not bad but kinda anti-climatic.
> No Jill.
> The notable digital airbrushing on Milla's face for close ups.
> The characters making poor decisions (LJ not revealing his bite, the cast wasting ammo instead of focusing on head shots)

Unpop opinion: Kate looks bad in these. Not bad, its Kate, but she looks stupid and not nearly desirable enough.
>>
Why is she so sexy?
>>
>>214523000
Nah. I liked the original, but then I watched Evolution and it was just dumbed. It made the world much smaller than it needed to be. It also made Marcus retarded and had a stupid mechanism with the Corvinus blood, with it "upgrading" Selene's powers. Just dumb. Never bothered watching the sequels to that, because Evolution was such a downgrade.

Lily in pvc costume now!

Viktor was the coolest part of Underworld. Him just walking around without using guns separated him from the other vampires. Once he died, the series died with him. Also a great actor. Viktor is the quentessential elder vampire to me, when I think of such things in Vampire the Masquerade.
>>
Selene is extreme sex appeal.

My dad and sister brought me to the third or fourth movie or whatever when it was in theaters, when I hadn't watched the previous movies, and it was weird Lord of the Rings shit for some reason.

>>214518841
First one undeniably the best one but I enjoy second and third too. Didn't watch the rest and I know I won't like them as I don't watch Underworld just for Kate.
All three movies offer sincere creativity in both plot and world building. They have thought of Interesting setting and filled it with the memorable and cool characters, so it's worth watching for that alone.
Second movie while being less massive and more simple still had great and badass sequences, kino cast and brotherly love.
Third movie is gothic Spartacus with equally great moments and kino cast. And actress who played Sonja was hot as fuck.
9.5/10
7.5/10

Very solid trilogy.

Fellow Amelia appreciator.
She looks rather average irl but her face and expressions got the wildest boost from the maskara and armor.
Hard to find more Aristocratic Vampire Lady-Warrior in the movies than her.
Wish there was more of her.
>>
>>214518841
Always was.
>>
>>214518841
First is the best obviously but there's still some terrible performances (Shane Brolly, Scott Speedman) that are offset by some great ones (Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen). Brolly fortunately gets killed at the beginning of the sequel, it's a shame that Speedman makes it to the end.

NTA, the milf in Blood Wars made me ridiculously horny. Not Kate, her too but the other milf. The evil one. She forced pretty boy vampires to eat her pussy. It was based.

Hope you like them. They're not vampire werewolf movies but they have the same inexplicable "vibe" to them IMO. If you want something more directly vampiric you can try Blade with Wesley Snipes.
>>
>>214530083
yeah, Blade was good for sure. Action with a sexy vampire would be ideal if there's more out there
>>
>>214518841
First one is great. The elder vampires are my favourite part..... was it Victor and Marcus maybe? Haven't seen it in years, but I still remember the names, that should tell you how good the movie was. The one with the wings was dope. The scene in the medieval village with the Lycans is one of the best when it cones to atmosphere, fantastic work there. Kate was the hottest woman of all time in that, literally flawless looks wise.

Don't remember the rest except that I didn't like them. I recall Charles Dance, but even he wasn't able to save them.
>>
The soundtrack was cool, I remember genghistron especially.
>>
>>214530298
>I recall Charles Dance, but even he wasn't able to save them.
They didn't use him enough. I'm not saying they should have had him doing fighting and shit but 4 and 5 were all over the place with their stories, they should have been more focused.

What happened to goth subculture? With the hot babes and everything, dudes? I should've treasured my youth more. I wish I could go back and enjoy it properly. I thought those comfy nights would never end. I'm just an old fool.
>>
I want to live in a giant vampire mansion with other vampires. The scene where she goes home makes it look so comfy bros
>>
>>214530615
Social media killed fashion subcultures and replaced them with fetish-based ones like furries and trannyshit.
>>
>>214530718
I don't understand how though. There has to be some kind of appeal to subcultures right? Subcultures are still made up of people, and people naturally recognize universal elements of beauty or enjoyment. Goth stuff is naturally, universally appealing. Weird freakshows aren't.

>Desert setting is great & gritty.
Worst aspect of the whole film. It's like a movie version of a piss filter Xbox 360 videogame. Worst film in the series by miles.
>>
>>214518841
Why would you have ever pretended that?
>>
>>214523000
I have never watched Awakening and Blood Wars and never will.
>>
>>214531510
Awakening sounds cucked to hell. Giving a childless protagonist a child always turns them into an emasculated simp pussy cuck. Even women.

They're still fun IMO, killing off her bf was mean-spirited but she has insane milf sexual tension going on with the handsome young new guy that's pretty based for me, a milf enjoyer.
