Kate Beckinsale thinks "I think it's time to kill my agent..."
Words are not enough to describe how ghastly, terrible and atrocious Underworld Evolution is! One-dimensional characters, wooden acting, banal dialogue, constant awkward exposition - it takes the prize for worst film of the year without a doubt! Oh, I know we're only barely into February, but truly, I doubt I'm going to see anything worse. Avoid this stinker at all costs; it's not even so bad as to be good, it's just baaaaaaaaad!
And if you don't believe me, try these choice quotes from other reviewers, courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes:
"I suppose bloodlust is enough excuse for anyone willing to endure 105 minutes of monster derby, but really: Who are these characters?"-- Mark Collette, TYLER MORNING TELEGRAPH (TEXAS)
"What's Kate Beckinsale doing in a movie like this? Oh yeah, her husband directed it "-- Jackie K. Cooper, JACKIEKCOOPER.COM
"This is one sequel that has devolved into the realm of the boring instead of evolving into something great."-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the word evolution suggest that something must grow or develop into something else?"-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES
"There's no guiding power at work here; it's Evolution without a shred of intelligent design."-- Ben Kenigsberg, VILLAGE VOICE
"As far as gratuitous follow-ups go, it is neither evolution nor devolution. A more appropriate title is Underworld: Stagnation."-- Lisa Rose, NEWARK STAR-LEDGER

Richy Rich,
I know It's gonna be bad, bad I'm a sucker for vampires too, and Beckinsale, even though she can't act.
Looking at the rating though, I see 'Strong Sex Scene' which has been enough to sit me through countless bad German cracks at Brechtian art-flicks on late night SBS, and I could probably do one more.
I guess what I'm asking is, is there, you know, titty?
Labovnik. *shakes head* Dear me. Yes, there is a sex scene, and yep, there is an slow unzipping of the leather catsuit to reveal some mammary action. You really do need to get out more, I suspect. ;-)
