Underworld

I saw it yesterday evening and I will write down some random thoughts I had during the movie:


  1. Run Trinity Run
  2. Wasn't Morpheus one of the good guys?
  3. OMG it's Blade
  4. Look, Whistler!
  5. oh no! Novak!
In otherwords, it's a cheap ripoff of blade I & II and the Matrix.

Quality value : 0/5
Entertainment value: 3/5

Re: Underworld

Yeah, it's pretty derivative.

Anything with Kate Beckinsale wearing PVC trousers can't be all bad though.

Plus, it's got the black guy from "Glam Metal Detectives" (and Desmonds).

Re: Underworld

It was pretty similar to the matrix, especially when you factor in the 'not as clever as you think you are' thing.

Re: Underworld

I don't think it was trying to be that clever though. There's very little philosophy compared to the Matrix. I saw it as a generic action movie of the year, albeit cashing in on some of the upturn in gothic/vampire interest among teenagers.

p.s. I just realised my description of the character as "the black guy from Desmonds" is perhaps the least helpful one ever.

It wasn't trying to be as clever as the matrix thought it was, but it wasn't trying to be actively stupid. Any film that has the equivilent of 'Ms Beckinsale will return in Tomorrow Never Dies' or something at the end counts as stupid in my book, especially when you factor in all the silly plot twists and its unguaranteed commerical success.

Re: Underworld

Good film, sequel will be out 2005. Kate Beckinsale wasnt a brilliant heroic female lead, but Bill Nighy wasnt a particularly demonic villain, and Scott Speedman is , well , a generic good looking male lead.

A fun film, a decent enough twist, and it made a shitload of cash in the US hence there will be a sequel

"It wasnt a good as the matrix, it was a matrix rip off"

Arent you the same people who threatened the Wachowskis with castration for Matrix 2 and 3? Make up your ****ing minds. It was FAR more of a Romeo and Juliet gone goth than a matrix rip off.

pfft

People simply have to accept the following

"THE MATRIX WAS GROUNDBREAKING. STOP TRYING TO COMPARE EVERY ACTION FILM WITH DARK CLOTHING OR MARTIAL ARTS OR GUNS TO IT. THERE WILL NEVER BE A COMPARISON"

The sooner people start taking new action films on their own merits as opposed to comparing them to previous action films, the better. I dont recall many people watching True Lies and saying "Well, its ok, but Schwarzenegger did that better in Commando".

The Genre is "Switch off your brain at the door and enjoy the explosions". If theres a plot, dont give it too much credence.

The two main characters are in love from opposite sides of the war.

Hello Romeo and Juliet

Both sides continue to fight and try and kill each other.

Hello Romeo and Juliet

They fight using the current hollywood action movie genre techniques.

Hello every single action movie since The Matrix.

So to recap.


Romeo & Juliet with Guns = Underworld

Anyone reading anything more into it = Looking too deep into a very very shallow genre.

How does that respond to my point that The Matrix wasn't trying to be a reasonably straightforward action film (which it wasn't)?

I wasnt responding directly to your point, i was making a sweeping generalisation based on the threads previous posts, i quoted yours as it backs my point, and similarly mine backs yours in a way.

Equilibrium did futuristic combat action + weapon action without any of that special effects fuss Matrix used and made a better movie.

You seen Equilibrium Kura?

I wasn't fond of Equilibrium, it didn't have any 'spark', and the plot was even sillier than usual for that kind of thing.

Re: Underworld

I found it thoroughly entertaining and well delivered.

I think the big difference was the quality of actors used, * > Keanue Reeves, I never thought the quality of an actor in a big action movie would matter but apparrently it really does and Christian Bale delivered a great performance imo(let's hope the batman scripts he get do his abilities justice and restore pride to the batman franchise).

Also Sean Bean is the daddy.

It must be said that Christian Bale is great.

Re: Underworld

Ooh, I remember in my geekish way I noticed some inaccuracies in Underworld.

The doctor dude goes to give CPR to the woman, and he does it all wrong. He does cardiac massage too slowly and doesn't even check if she's breathing.
In the "ancient vampire records", there's an even worse error. One page is in Latin. Fine, no problem with that. The next page is in Modern English, and - even worse - the letterforms are as if it were Anglo-Saxon. Why would Modern English be in a supposedly "ancient" tome?

Re: Underworld

There's more inaccuracies than that, but it's pretty pointless to list them given it's an action film, that's not meant to be the best film ever.

It reinforces my view that Christian Bale should never have been allowed onto the screen in any capacity. It has its moments, but it tries too hard to be 1984, and it doesnt work.

Crap Premise, distinctly dodgy film.

You need to be sat down with Hypno Toad you know.

I'm guessing you disliked American Psycho too.

AP was workable, and he played the role well. Thing is, i genuinely hate him for what he did in Reign of Fire. What a pathetic lead actor role, especially considering that the concept was blockbuster stuff. I have a minor hatred for Matthew McConnaghey as well for that, but he was better in A Time to Kill.

If Bale brings disgrace to Batman as well, ill travel the world until i have his head on a sharp pointy stick. Still, at least he cant be as bad as Clooney & O'Donnell.

PLEASE tell me theres not going to be a Robin in the new one. Worst thing about the Batman franchise is they had it PERFECT and then ****ed it up by changing the lead. Keaton was a perfect Batman. Hell , even Kilmer was a bloody good Batman. But CLOONEY? and now Bale?

I fear the death knell for the Franchise

Re: Underworld

I erased Reign of Fire from memory, it was a totally dreadful movie, also I only remember matthew mcconagay being really really bad in it, so bad he eclipsed everyone else, which makes me wonder if christian bale was really in it.

As for batman, if you didn't know Halle Berry is catwoman for the next movie.... now How we can go from Michelle Pfeiffer to Halle Berry for catwoman will need a script masterstroke, though I'd like to blame the casting AND the scripts from Val Kilmer onwards with regards to batman for it's demise. heh let's not forget Clooney was better than Arnie....


Anyhoos I'm curious if you are panning an actor on just one movie.

Couple of points on this.

Halle Berry is NOT Catwoman in the next movie. She is playing the lead in a Catwoman movie, but it will not in any way shape or form be connected to the Batman franchise. If stories are to be believed, the name alone is all that connects it.


Scriptwise, the Batman franchise has suffered. The new movie is expected to cover Year One, which will be just after the original, and before Batman Returns, so we dont need to worry about continuity, since most of the cast in the first one are dead. Its going to have Frank Miller as an advisor on the script, so i dont foresee it being anything but dark, noir, and perfectly Batman. The only thing that could make it better would be to ask Burton to come back and direct it.

And TBH, i havent rated Bale in anything hes done. Not AP , DEFINETELY not ROF, and not Equilibrium, which i think showed off his acting qualities perfectly, as he had to play a character unable to show emotion, and hes incapable of showing any anyway.

I did find it a bit odd that the main bad guy can single handedly kill a Werewolf in Crinos without breaking sweat, but Amelia , another Elder, and her entire entourage get massacred by a small pack.

If those two were the Weakest of the 3 elders, then the sequel is going to be ****ing ace.

Re: Underworld

Underworld - liked it, good action movie, vampires are teh

Equilibrium - The story wasn't believable for me (as opposed to Underworld, which isn't supposed to be in the 'real world'), I can't picture that sort of thing ever managing to take control. Ignoring that, tho, it wasn't bad.

And I actually enjoyed the last few Batman movies. The style didn't feel quite right at some points but for a comic book movie it seemed pretty good. (I read X-Men, but no DC comics so I dunno and don't care how far off from the comic they got)

Re: Underworld

See: Batman/Batman Returns. That's how it's meant to be.

And just because a movie is based on a comic, doesn't mean it has to be silly.
