Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans

By Trish Lewis on Feb 2, 09 11:46 AM

Medieval blood-thirsty vampires and grumpy, snarling man-sized werewolves clash in the third (and probably final) film in the Underworld series.

Rise of the Lycans is a prequel to its predecessors and a decent one at that too.

If you have never watched the series before then you won't feel you like have missed much when you see this one.

But fans of the first two may be left disappointed as the second movie pretty much nailed the plot for this one down to a fine tee without even having to use any flashbacks or other plot devices beyond word-of-mouth storytelling between a handful of characters.

The vampires have come to power in the medeval world by enslaving the Lycans (werewolves) and treat the beasts as little more than servents.

It does not take a geneous to work out what happens next as the plot smells more suspicious than a ned with a crowbar. The werewolves of course, finally decide that they've had enough and rebel against their pompus-pale skinned, garlic-hating masters.

The leader of the werewolves, Lucian falls in love with the vampire king's daughter Sonja and compliates the already bloody-war even further. He's going to be mad when he find out...

Personally I don't see what the fuss is about, if werewolves want the same minimum wage and better working conditions as the rest of us, then why should they not be allowed too?

If you like blood, the occult, special effects and supernatural beings beating the crap out of each other then this will be your cup of tea -- or blood.

You can see a trailer for the film below.
