Underworld: Blood Wars

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Underworld: Blood Wars delivers another round of the stylized violence that the series is known for, but -- like many fifth franchise installments -- offers precious little of interest to the unconverted.

Justin T I'm going to warn you that this is a subjective review, I'm just not interested in the world they built in the previous films and will be reviewing it accordingly. I found all of the characters really uninteresting and they are all the same, moody and humourless devoid of personality. The action and fighting has no danger or style or time to breathe which makes it boring to watch. Every conflict is quickly resolved without any real reason or impact. I'm actually going to single out the music as generic and often out of place making an already creatively bankrupt film somehow worse. I know there is a market for this kind of film but I can't help but think how much of a waste of money it is when they could have told an original story with the same amount of mindless action. I didn't like the sound design. The editing though I actually liked, they made the best of a bad film. Most of the film looks like they made it entirely in a studio but at least the special effects are good. When everyone double crosses everyone else it is not interesting or shocking, it's just bad melodrama. The final fight is actually okay but not worth watching the rest of the film for. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Zia M I enjoyed the movie and the series. I just wish that got to see more about the daughter and to see if Michael really survived. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review KerryWhite's S Rating: 9/10. 90/100 Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Kamilla A Verstehe die schlechten Kritiken nicht. Für Underworld Fans ist das ein toller Abschluss, wobei das Ende auch etwas offen gelassen wurde. Meine Lieblingsvampir- und Werwolfreihe. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review JESSE B Well, I'm a huge fan of WEREWOLVES and I don't care about VAMPIRES at all, however there is no other enemy for WEREWOLVES to battle except VAMPIRES, with that being said, I loved the movie "Blood Wars" especially when the WEREWOLVES had a chance to beat up on VAMPIRES! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review young B Great movie, I loved how no matter what problems arose selen was ready to take it head on. Great ending with the daughter eve walking up, can not wait to see the sixth installment Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
