Lots of vampires, guns and action...

"Underworld: Blood Wars" turned out to be a rather enjoyable installment in the "Underworld" franchise, and if you enjoyed any of the previous movies, then you will definitely also like "Underworld: Blood Wars".

The story in "Underworld: Blood Wars" continues on with the raging war between the vampires and the lycans. Selene, the highly-trained vampire death dealer, seeks to end this war that still rages.

There is a good amount of action in the movie. And this action is fast paced, well-choreographed and quite intense. Just as it has been in the previous movies, so it is nice that the movie continues on in the same pace.

The storyline in "Underworld: Blood Wars" was a bit on the simplistic side, as it is not one with many layers, nor one that really innovates the franchise nor the genre as such. But despite its simplicity, it is still an enjoyable movie to watch, just don't expect a grand Shakespearian experience.

"Underworld: Blood Wars" has very good special effects and CGI, just as in the previous movies. Furthermore, there is still amazing detail and designs on the costumes and wardrobes, which is quite unique for the franchise. The sets also have a lot of great details. The make-up on the vampires is good and believable, but the special effects on the lycans (werewolves) is just amazing and it looks so realistic.

This movie also has a good cast ensemble, and it is nice to see that Kate Beckinsale returns to her role. Furthermore, it was also nice to see some good appearances by Charles Dance, James Faulkner and others.

"Underworld: Blood Wars" is definitely a movie worthy to be an installment to the franchise, and it is most certainly a movie that will please fans of the franchise.
