Underworld:Rise of the Lycans Review

Director Patrick Tatopoulos has made an amazing film; this film was truly worth watching, and I have seen it many times. The film is actually the first in the Underworld trilogy although it was made after Underworld (2003) and Underworld Evolution (2006) which starred Kate Beckinsale, similar to how the Star Wars movies were made. With Star Wars episode 4, 5 and 6 were made first around 1977 by Lucas films and then 1, 2 and 3 followed in 1999 by Lucas films again. The reason why I appreciate these types of movies is because, they do not follow a conventional sequence.
The film explains how the war between Vampires and Lycans had originally started, even though I missed the fact that Kate Beckinsale was not in the film, but the stunning Rhona Mitra is just as amazing and gorgeous as Kate Beckinsale, and they both delivered great performances as female lead vampires.
If you have not yet seen any of the Underworld trilogies I suggest you watch The Rise of Lycans first and the rest of the Underworld movie will make more sense.
But overall a great movie my second best movie of 2009, first being Australia.
