Geez! I still haven't seen this yet. Werewolves rock.

Anyone seen this yet?

I have this and Kill Bill on my agenda.

I think they call them "lycans" in the movie.

anyway, about underworld... personally, I liked it, but none of my friends did. their main complaint was

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
that vampires were little more than goths with sharp teeth and guns. they expressed very little vampiric ability overall.

End of Spoiler

I think I enjoyed the whole lore and backstory behind it.

See Kill Bill first. You will appreciate that on the big screen, especially the fight with the Crazy 88. Underworld on the other hand, if you saw it on vid, you wouldn't know any better.

The problem being that Underworld seemed to come across as a big gang fight with supposedly fantastical tones. Instead we got goths with really bad aim, and a lot of ammo, against the Howling werewolves who didn't get enough screen time.

Kill Bill starts off with a cool jolting moment, moves to a kick ass fight, and veeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy sssssssllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy builds to an over the top finale.

I will give Underworld points though, towards the end, the story ties together beautifully. Unfortunately by then I didn't give a crap, didn't buy the big romance, wasn't interested in the hero, and the heroine's appeal was only her skin tight outfit not her character.

Go see Kill Bil! If Underworld is still playing, by all means go see it then.

"SAW KILL BILL!" , posted Sun 19 Oct 19:28

Oh......oh.......where do I began? THIS MOVIE ****' RULED!

Everything about it. It was so gorey,it was.......O_O. Lots of blood in this. From the anime-style scenes to the way Uma Thurman fought. It was just **** incredible.

I just got back from seeing this,and I'm kind of tired at the moment. So I won't delve too much into detail.

It's about the main character(Uma),who almost died at her wedding,where everyone was killed,even her groom-to-be. She ends up being comatose after being shot in the heat but survived,next,she awakens 4 years later and she's out for revenge. She goes to Japan and starts kicking ass.

I won't spoil the rest for those who haven't seen it. But it rocked!

I enjoyed kill bill. It was a good attempt at a asian martial art movie by an american director. Probably the best attempt by an american, with some great side elements too. I am really looking forward to seeing volume 2.

After Kill Bill I ducked into underworld and saw that for about 15 minutes. It seemed hella cool but then one of the movie people i think saw me and was scanning the theater for me so i had to bounce.

Peace.

No, if you notice, you don't see the old guy anymore, or the black guy fighting, in the trailers now. They are in part two. They were in the early trailers when the film was one big part.

Bill is David Carradine, the guy from the beginning to the last scene with Sophie. I believe the old guy is another teacher in part two.

Sonny Chiba made the film for me. I thought it was clever to slap the mask on Gordon Liu, so you couldn't readily recognize him. as well.

Also Underworld isn't worth possibly getting busted over.
