TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: A visual and aural assault on the senses, this vampire-werewolf sequel makes a lot of noise and features a heavy-handed, overly convoluted story.

Underworld films are a highly specialized taste, and those who've acquired it know who they are. Everyone else should give this one a wide berth.
The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story.
I can't even begin to divulge the storyline because it's mostly unfathomable.
While it is still plagued by many of the same problems of the first film, Underworld: Evolution is generally an improvement over the original and an entertaining diversion.
Yes, I'll admit, it's better than the first film, but really not by much.
Nudity and excessive exposition accompany gore-infused visual f/x in this splashy modern Goth extravaganza.
Audience Reviews for Underworld: Evolution
"Underworld: Evolution" is just another generic sequel. It picks up right where "Underworld" ends, with Marcus(Tony Curran) awakening. Marcus then begins to hunt Selene(Kate Beckinsale) and her Lycon/Vampire hybrid lover Michael(Scott Speedman). There is some vampire vs werewolf action, but this is more of a vampire vs vampire movie. More action and gore(some actually very good gore scenes), and less story. There is some secrets revealed about their pasts, and the death of a couple key characters, but overall not an improvement over the first one. Sequels are rarely better, so it's not a big surprise that it comes up short. Still worth a watch if your a fan of the first one or horror movies, just keep expectations in check.

Super cool! Not many sequels can compliment their original films but this for me certainly did. Awesome stuff, vampires, werewolves and Michael the coolest hybrid.
The action is there, the artistry looks fantastic the whole film is my kind of flick in this genre. Cool actors and a awesome lead actress to bring this story to life and giving me an exiting 2 hour break from reality.
Watching this again has me swinging for the 4th installment and I cannot wait till I drench myself in another tale from the "Underworld".
