*adds to the Underworld-fest* Yeah, the sequel - only saw Evolution, so I can't say anything about the other - was a bit strange / cruddy, but honestly, the first one was pretty damned cool for what it was at the time. I mean, yes, the plot twists were kind of expected, but the fact that neither Michael nor Selene could defeat Victor on their own (in spite of his combo superpowers and her "family revenge" rage) made it slightly more believeable to me. Plus, if you really look at it, the only reason they defeated Victor is because a whole bunch of other people fought and pissed him off first, like Kragen (sp?) and Lucian. Who actually HAD fleshed out backstories, and WEREN'T totally interchangeable inflato-hoes.
Hell, the only reason Selene escaped the vamp safe house in the first place (if memory serves) was that the blonde vamp-chick let her go out of jealousy. Which was actually decently foreshadowed.
Is it wrong that I seriously would love to see her take on something like BloodRayne? She'd probably love it to death, and I'd break something headdesking.
(BTW, the bullets with sunlight in them I didn't mind - mostly because I worked out a way for it to make sense in my head. A miniature / micro-chip generator that creates a pulse on impact, set to the exact wavelength of UV light . . . why yes, I do have WAAAAY too much time on my hands, why? xD)
