Review For Underworld Awakening |
Pitiless, puerile, pointless and perfunctory -- and those are just the "P's." Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Once again, Beckinsale brings an impressive physicality and subzero cool to her portrayal of Selene. Joe Leydon-Variety
Kate Beckinsale's "Selene" remains one-note, but it's a wildly entertaining note. Laremy Legel-Film.com
The combat quotient, to the movie's credit, is way up, with narrative folderol kept to a minimum. Andy Webster-New York Times
The most generic entry of the bunch. Tom Russo-Boston Globe
There's not much to this movie beyond a slick procession of dark, gleaming violence. David Hiltbrand-Philadelphia Inquirer
It really adds nothing to the already dull mythos of the vampires war with the lycans... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
As stylish and flashy as the action is this time around, I can still only recommend Underworld: Awakening to diehard fans of the series. Christian Law-We Got This Covered
This was a film that was so soulless and so lifeless that it had not made a single bit of impact while it was playing. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
if you are looking for an intelligent movie you may need to look elsewhere. James Luxford-The National
Underworld: Awakening boasts some fun stylized action, and Kate Beckinsale back in that skin-tight outfit, but it also continues the franchise's streak of frustrating mediocrity. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD
What begins as a promising reset ultimately settles into a too much of a retread, however watchable it may be. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com
... a blur of generic exposition, random plot twists, vaguely maternal instincts, sloppy CGI animation, and Stephen Rea looking like a waxwork ... Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com
Underworld: Awakening may be nonsense, but it's beautifully choreographed nonsense. Dave Bradley-SFX Magazine
We can never tire of watching Kate Beckinsale prance about in that tight leather outfit I tell ya. Never! James O'Ehley-Sci-Fi Movie Page
If you just accept this one as a bloody popcorn movie and don't look for much complexity, you'll undoubtedly be happy with it. James Plath-Movie Metropolis
Awakening has the mentality of a straight-to-video sequel, the body of an ADD child and the pulsing veins of a meth addict. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz
full review at Movies for the Masses Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses
he vampires and werewolves are at it again. No, Twihards, you haven't missed another "Twilight" episode. This is indeed part of a franchise, but a far different, more violent one. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa)
I LIKEanthroped it. Grae Drake-Movies.com
I don't think this was meant to be funny, but I found it pretty darn amusing. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Also missing... most of the so-called Lycans who, their appearance in a few respectable action sequences notwithstanding, are now nearly extinct. So is this franchise. Matt Singer-Time Out Chicago
A sloppy, messy, frankly dumb action/horror hybrid, but at least it moves quickly and delivers the goods. Scott Weinberg-FEARnet
There's even an Evanescence track to close proceedings, for God's sake. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
UNDERWORLD AWAKENING is definitely gory, but someone forgot to also make it scary, exciting, sexy, and/or fun. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media
