There're other Underworld fans? I didn't know that. :O *rejoices* Please rant away. I could've said a lot more (since Jon also decided to butt in with his own blog), I just didn't want to spam comments here.
Underworld 1 had a lot of flaws, but it did made up for it, first and foremost with the characters (I was never a fan of Michael and Selene, but there was a ton of others I could like, and Selene is one of the very few true movie action girls, unlike her successor Sonja, who was, sadly, way too often a Dumbass Damsel in Distress). I didn't like the second one that much, but all my favourite characters were dead, so no surprise there, and the plot was... strange. And the third, I admit I loved it, and I have no excuses. I love the hilarious sex scene (you know sex is good when the guy still enjoys it hanging over the edge of a ledge, almost falling to his certain death). Also, I have a thing for Raze and Michael Sheen is my favourite actor in the world, so the film would even have made me happy if it was just the two of them fucking around in the forest for 120 minutes (literally, if possible).
