This third Underworld movie does it in a magnificent way: from the heightened feelings of love and hate, the pairings of life and death, to the escapist medieval setting with its castles and woods and ominous presences lurking in the shadows. It's a gothic story at its prime.<br />Performances are more than satisfactory; especially Sheen, who does a great job as our new-found hero Lucian. Special effects are stunning, especially considering the relative low budget of the production.<br />Overall, I left the theater very pleased and hope Screen Gems takes us back to the Underworld sooner than later.Belgiehttp://somuch2thank4.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
