(Merlin) Great continuation of the Underworld story. The story of the origins of the immortals is expanded and cool use of flashbacks get the thumbs-up from me. Marcus is awesome! Very well cast and acted, with amazing effects. Some unexpected plot twists that keep you guessing. One minor thing that people may want to be aware of is that they seem to have gone for the gore factor a bit more in this one. Where I felt they walked the line with Victor's decapitation in the first one, they do similar things 4-5 times in this flick.

(Michele) I loved how it starts out. Giving a history of the vamps and Lycans is very cool. More of the same, with more violence, and more gore. A bit much gore for me. Maybe they were trying to expand their market of movie goers? The head vamp and lycin were creepy! Very very cool.
