With the fourth film coming soon, let's us take this time to remember this 'classic' piece involving the battle between vampires and werewolves.  It maybe not be great, but it's better than what Twilight nowadays has left us with. The plot is this:

Selene, a vampire warrior, is engaged in a war between the vampires and werewolves. Although she's with the vampires, she falls in love with Michael, a human turned werewolf.

For those of you who have seen it, what do you think of the film?  Also, interested in seeing the new film?

I've seen it and don't think it's a "bad movie".

I enjoyed the first one. However, once I saw the second I lost all interest. Kate Beckinsale is freakin' hot.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I saw it, I kind of liked it-but I also found it pretty generic.  Or at least closer to what the Bloodrayne should have been.

None of the rest of the series really thrilled me, and I don't plan on seeing the fourth in theaters. Maybe a rental, or cable.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

What entertainment value Underworld has is almost completely due to Bill Nighy as Viktor.  The man completely and utterly owned the entire movie as soon as he crawled out of that coffin.  I also enjoyed the battle between him and the werewolf/vampire.  The hybrid monster was obviously more powerful than Viktor, but Viktor's superior skill and experience gave him the edge, anyway.

    I thought it was kind of a fun cheesy movie that was more fun and cheesy because it took itself pretty seriously. Didn't care for the sequels though they have they're  moments. Have to admit the pretty boy vampires in Twilight would most likely crap themselves if they saw the Lycans.

Of course it was ... but it was bland, generic nonsense with Bill Nighy!  The man almost made it possible to sit through Pirates of the Caribbean 3, so making Underworld tolerable was peanuts for him.
