Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is surprisingly campy fun, mostly succeeding through the power of its lead performances.

rotten:
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is as unnecessary as it is uninvolving. Only fans desperate to learn how the whole vampire-werewolf conflict began are likely to get anything out of this viewing experience.

rotten:
The storyline essentially replicates that of Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, meaning that if you've seen one or both of them, there's no compelling reason to spend your hard earned dollars on the third.

It is not necessary to have seen the first two Underworld films to fully enjoy the third. It might be helpful, however, to first see a bartender.

Take our advice: Buy a rubber mallet and strike yourself repeatedly until you start to black out. Same basic feeling.
