Leave your thoughts about Underworld: Awakening.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's a sequel that compliments parts one and three. If you enjoyed part two, we can't be friends. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekNo better or worse than the previous entries in the franchise, which have been uniformly awful. It does, however, possess the virtue of brevity. |
| Eclipse MagazineMichelle AlexandriaThe reason the Underworld series works is Kate Beckinsale's portrayal of the all black clad, baddass Vampire Selene is just cool. She doesn't whine, moan, or sparkle she just kicks the butt of anyone who screws her over. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonOnce again, Beckinsale brings an impressive physicality and subzero cool to her portrayal of Selene. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellBeckinsale's Selene is back with a vengeance, that famous black catsuit and two fully cocked pistols, having wisely sat out the wretched third installment of the franchise. Don't expect much more than this. |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersKate Beckinsale looks great and she certainly can "off" werewolves like nobody's business. But, the "Underworld" films are all pretty much alike, lots of action with a throwaway story. "Awakening" is no different. Paul Chambers, CNN. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe directors ignore the hokey and increasingly busy mythology of past entries to serve up a nonstop bloodbath: The violence is surprisingly extreme, goofily absurd and gratifyingly coherent. |
| MovieJuice!Mark Ramsey'One day,' Kate assures her daughter, 'you, too, will grow up to dress like a restaurant server in San Francisco.' |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonWatching the film is strangely like looking at the same three still frames of supernatural battles over and over for 90 minutes. |
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzWhy are they fighting again? Never you mind. Just sit tight till the next action sequence (it won't be long), and get ready to laugh - with equal parts scorn and fanboy joy - as Beckinsale strikes another Rodinesque pose under a slo-mo shower of inhuman innards. |
