Is the third Underworld movie actually any good?
A young Lycan called Lucian is elevated slightly above the rest of his race by the vampire king.
Viktor trusts Lucian and, though he wont admit it, has a soft spot for him.
So although Lucian is not free he enjoys certain privileges that the rest of the werewolves do not.
As the years pass by, Lucian becomes more and more opposed to his slavery.
The story unfolds not to an ending, but to a new beginning.
He was so convincing, his speeches so stirring, that even I wanted to join the Lycans!
Rhona Mitra, playing Sonja wasnt quite so good.
Bill Nighy was, as always, top notch.
Overall, an enjoyable film.
The back story was thorough and really led you into the story I was immediately engrossed in the action.
One laughable point, though, was the inevitable sex scene.
Youd expect carnal relations between two immortals to be somewhat passionate and explosive.
But no, it turned out to be rather airy-fairy.
It was a really daft scene where they slowed everything down and set it to some soppy music.
Made me chuckle, in fact.
Still, worth catching the movie…
