The only "matrix-style scenes" I can recall was the one where they were in an apartment hi-rise and Kate Beckinsale was shooting her guns in a circle to shoot out the floor and then fell to the level below.

Which was blasted all over the TV and trailer. So calling the entire movie a "matrix ripoff" isn't really fair.

Underworld was really uneven. Kate Beckinsale was excellent, and her character was well designed. The same goes for the leader of the werewolves. They built him up into a great tragic hero. But every other character in the movie is just sort of there, like cardboard people, and with the exception of the two mentioned above, the acting was pretty crappy all around. Also, the whole love concept was extremely forced and very poorly planned. As for the action, I wasn't particularly impressed with any of it. They've been around for thousands of years but never learned how to shoot a gun properly? The movie was a waste of a great concept and a lot of ammunition.

You know what, on second thought, this movie is AMAZING, just cuz of Selene. omfg she r0x0rs!!!!!!

I also read all of Anne Rice's books so my perception of how the vampires should have been was completely different. The movie had potential, but didn't even come close to being a decent flick. I wouldn't waste any money seeing it in the theatre if I had known how bad it was going to be.

man i didnt like that movie. Dman stylish vampires. Cant stand em. I suggest u go see kill bill instead.

This Movie was ok, I mean I love the vampires in it and how they put the two different species together but the only problem I had was that there wasn't enough Blood and fights, now you just need that to make a movie but thats only my opinion.

just watched it and my opinion of it is: above-average garbage.

let's see... capes, slow-mo, similar music, lobby scene, lighting effects, jumping through the subway window (trinity flying in the beginning, remember).... yes, matrix might not have been the first to use these, but for sure it combined them all together just like underworld did.

the plot was weak, just about what i expected.

but i gotta admit, celine was hot.

and i loved those desert eagles and fully automatic pistols with infinite ammo
