You want high doses of fight scenes, vampire and lycan lore, blood, violence, and Kate Beckinsale wearing leather or less. If you're going to see this movie, you probably enjoyed the original and are looking for more. The opening segment makes it worth a look, i definitely recommend it to anyone who liked the first or thought it had promise.
ladies will enjoy much shirtless Speedman action. we get to see most of Beckinsale's lovely figure (MILF is an understatement) but no direct frontal shots. one where a guy is having fun with a couple chick vampires, and one between the two leads. There was also the added bonus of sex scenes. It was refreshing to see that the werewolves were still practical make-up creations rather than CG. the special effects are also great, especially the scene with their winged-nemesis pursuing their truck. The action scenes were bigger, with great direction and camera-work. Watching him fight and take-down werewolves was great. The last movie only gave us a glimpse into what he has become, and here we get to see him kick butt alongside Selene as what is pretty much an equal. Mostly because of Scott Speedman's character Michael. I liked the first one but this one was an improvement. I don't know the future of the franchise and I hope it doesn't turn into the Dark Knight Cop villain relationship.Just got back from watching it tonight, let me tell you, the first big surprise was how how many people turned out for it, for a Thursday night the place was packed as if Harry Potter had just come out, it's been a while since my local theatre was like that. I was happy not to see certain actors but I miss that old dude, Man he was evil. Some parts could have been better but that is always the case. Weaver cant bounce off walls so I am sticking with Kate. There is something cool about Kate, I don't know what cuz she just looks like a normal Brit, but she is def the kick ass chick of this era. Certain "chosen one" themes i found boring and the film really must find other incentives for Werewolves to hunt vamps. The action was tight, the objectives of the film were clear.
So understand my rating of 7/10 is factoring in that. The rules of critique that might apply to Spike Lee are therefore not applicable here. Lets be honest you do not go into a cinema billing "Underworld: Awakening" expecting "Silence of the Lamb" or "Elegy" this is fast food cinema.
