Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans (2009)


I didn't know what to expect out of this movie and to be honest I had no expectations. I loved the first Underworld movie and thought the second one was great as well. I always did wonder how the war began and you get just that in this film because the movie is all about how the Lycans and Vampires became enemies. Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon, Underworld) returns as Lucian and we find out the exact details of his relationship with Viktor's Daughter Sonja. We see a side of him we did not see before because the fact that Lucian believes his race is the reasoning for his despair. As usual, Bill Nighly (Valkyrie, Underworld) does an excellent job as Viktor, the ruler of the Vampires and Rhona Mitra (Doomsday, Shooter) does a great job as Sonja. It's because of her love for Lucian that gets them into trouble and we see Lucian have to fight a major dilemma in his head. Does he stay for the reason of love or does he go for freedom? Other notables are Kevin Grevioux (Underworld, Men In Black II) who returns as Lucian's right hand man Raze and Steven Mackintosh (The Jacket, Underworld: Evolution) as Tannis, a man who helps Sonja and Lucian for his own benefit. So go out and rent the movie because it is not disappointing.
