If you liked "Underworld," you'll like "Underworld: Evolution". It's
more of the same. You have more vampires shooting werewolves, more of
Michael's hybrid character, more horror/action, and more of Kate
Beckinsale's shiny butt. They essentially stick to the same formula that
worked for the first film with very little departure....more

humor and moments that will have some people covering their eyes while

Underworld: Evolution is simply pointless. The film’s original
concept--a sort of Romeo and Juliet between vampires and werewolves--is
indeed intriguing, but to go beyond that is redundant. No, it’s obvious Evolution is a case of greed, a sequel drummed up because
studio execs believe they can milk more money out of the fans of the
original movie. I don’t think its going to work out as well the second
time around...more
