What is there to say, it’s Scary Movie number 4. If you’ve seen the horror movies that it’s making fun of then you ought to see this as well. I haven’t seen all of them, for example I haven’t seen Saw, but I still loved it. I would like to see it again, but I will wait when it comes to DVD.

Nice film, a bit dark in the sense of not giving enough lighting to create suspense, mystery and make it more scary. Of course it didn’t work, because they only cared on making it dark enough so they could get away with some special effects.
Anyway, that’s just my opinion.

Write about Underworld Evolution here.
If you’ve seen Underworld, then you need to see Underworld: Evolution. This movie picks up right where Underworld left at the very same scene. Underworld Evolution is indeed an evolution, an evolution of the first film.
There isn’t much to talk about evolution without disclosing information about it. If you are the person who has seen Underworld and after the movie was finished there were many questions in my mind. This film answers that giving background information about the everlasting battle between the Vampires and the Werwolves.

I will have to agree with the “fairy-tale�? word in the plot outline. Yes this is a fairy-tale, but what I ask of you is… how many?
While watching the film I can safely say that they’ve taken all the fairy-tales I know (the ones I can remember and could spot) and twisted them. Almost every myth the explore is made out of a fairy-tale.
After saying this, I say go and see it now.
P.S. I am not giving 10 because it could use improvements and besides if I give that 10 what am I going to give Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire…

This is not the first time I’ve seen this film, but when I saw in ‘What’s On’ the Uni’s weekly guide it was a calling. I had to see it again. So I convinced some friends that strangely enough haven’t seen this film before that their where missing big time. They believed me, they came and they loved it.
Aside from that, it’s a wonderful epic film with amazing depth and vibrancy, and a thoroughly engaging plot, well developed characters and an amazing feeling of living history.
A true classic.
