In the Underworld, Vampires are a secret clan of modern aristocratic sophisticates whose mortal enemies are the Lycans (werewolves), a shrewd gang of street thugs who prowl the city's underbelly. No one knows the origin of their bitter blood feud, but the balance of power between them turns even bloodier when a beautiful young Vampire warrior and a newly-turned Lycan with a mysterious past fall in love. Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman star in this modern-day, action-packed tale of ruthless intrigue and forbidden passion, all set against the dazzling backdrop of a timeless, Gothic metropolis.

Critics Consensus: Though stylish to look at, Underworld is tedious and derivative.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

The production and costume designs were clearly labored over, but like any polished exterior that's merely a fragile casing for an empty center, the film waves off character development for skin-tight leather and pouty brooding.

Joe Lipsett

One wishes that Kate Beckinsale got to have a little more fun as Selene and Kraven is a terrible villain, but the blue-filtered Matrix-rip off (action, costume, gun play) is very welcome. Plus: Nighy is having the absolute best time chewing the scenery.

Conspiracies and allegorical angles aside, this sleekly stylized monster mash ends up a big, muddy mess of bad guys: predator versus predator, and the winner takes the human race.

A derivative and dramatically weak mess without so much as a design element that wasn't lifted from something better.

Pulpy, punk-ish story with some intense violence.
