Underworld didn't have FF-style cutscenes with a submarine that was bigger than Syracuse wandering around Venice. Win!


No one's saying LXG was good, but it wasn't kill yourself horrible like Underworld. If you skip the Venice sequence the movie really isn't that bad. You would have had to fatally amputate large plot tumors off of Underworld, including every single droning monologue about werewolf/vampire lore and the entire last third where every character's eye slowly started bulging wider and wider over the shock that they had been betrayed in order for it to approach being watchable. Even then it'd just be a long string of uninspired shootouts between supposedly supernatural beings. They couldn't even spring for some Blade silver incenderary bullet effects.


Upon reflection, I'm guessing my ability to tolerate, even enjoy (the DVD ownage is related to a Best Buy Underworld/Blade2 bundle, the repeated viewings to its recurrence on cable lately) Underworld over LXG or Van Helsing is probably because Underworld wasn't based off a comic I really liked (like LXG), nor were its effects patently stupid (like Van Helsing's). I liked it more than Hellboy, too. I don't know, arguing over which of these three losers is the least terrible makes me feel awful. Whoever wins, we lose.
