Nothing really special. Actually, it was quite boring.

"Historical events referenced in the first two installments of the Underworld franchise are brought to life in this passionless, idea-deprived prequel" - Ryan Stewart

It doesn't add all that much to the series, as the important parts were shown in flashbacks in the first film. Still, getting to watch Michael Sheen's Lucian for an entire film, coupled with exciting action sequences and a good supporting cast definitely made it an enjoyable experience. It's a movie made almost entirely for the die-hard Underworld fans, and is ultimately worth watching, if only to remind yourself that there is still hope for the franchise.

Of the 3 I like this one the best...new Underworld girl new direction. They go into the history of the death dealers and lycans...the acting was alot better, and the action was good but this movie was the first movie to slow down the action and let the actors do more than run shoot kill and cuss...though there is nothing wrong with any of that at times

Trash like this should be as unserious as possible, yet a curious solemnity hangs over the film. The weirdly cast Sheen and Nighy do bring the ham (the latter especially). It never really works, however, in part because of Mitra's lackluster effort. She's definitely pretty but compared to Beckingsale I think she's second-rate, at best. So is the film.

Better than the second film, but not as good as it could be. This third film travel us in the middle ages, when the war started, unfortunately without giving any information we didn't already know.

Better than part 2, that goes without saying, but largely unnecessary, since most of the plot was explained in the first film.

How come Raze, the only black person in all of the three films, becomes a slave for the vampires just minutes before the lycans try to escape..?
