I liked this one better than the 1st because the storyline starts to unravel more. There still isn't much of a story...it felt like they could go so much further. There's better effects as well.
Parts of the plot are random and the action sequences feature little 'action'. And the werewolf costumes (they must be costumes as they look so fake) seem to have been purchased from a fancy dress shop. Not what you expect from a hollywood film with ...

Could have explore Michael's powers as half vampire half lycan more but still a good ride.
The story fits in very nicely if you watch it right after the first one with the original plot fresh in your mind. I don't know what any of these morons are talking about when they say it doesn't have any plot. Again, half a star taken off because ...

I don't know what any of these morons are talking about when they say it doesn't have any plot. Again, half a star taken off because the lycans were kind of corny.
Stunningly visually impressive. Action visuals keeps attention throughout even if story complexity is more confusing than engaging.
Loved it. Good show.. It's nice to see that the Vampires and Werewolves getting along..lol... Lots of action, good plots.. Love Story.. What more could you ask for...

First and the most obvious fundamental flaw this movie's script has is the fact that there is almost none recap from the first movie. The viewer is given a quick run through of the story as a 5 min flashback and the movie continues from there with a breath taking pace. Granted the story is not that complex but since there is a 3 years gap between the movies, a longer recap perioid would have been better suiting. Acting continues the trend of the from the first movie, nothing worth mentioning that is. Special effects continue to be in ok league and remain the one and only thing that can keep the viewer at least semi intrested in this movie.
Script and other flaws aside this movie is one big adrealine rush, so if your into non stop action movies and like supernatural stories about vampires and werewolfs, Underworld Evolution is a movie for you.
Excellent movie. Great VFX and monsters. I really enjoyed this movie and think it's a pity the franchise was never adapted into a television show.

The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story.full review
Director Len Wiseman, formerly of the music-video world, is still stuck on music-video logic: Throw in awesome-looking stuff, throw in more awesome-looking stuff, don't worry so much about connecting anything.full review
Devoid of its predecessor's proletariat-aristocracy allegorical undercurrents and beset by more perplexing flashbacks than a Timothy Leary apprentice.full review
