Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

A little weak. Not only has everyone already been told about this in the first part, but it has also been made more interesting.

Lucian's origin raises many questions, his relationship with Sonya is also not disclosed. In fact, nothing new was told in this film. There is no entertainment as such either.

I really liked this particular part 😍

The coolest part, I generally thought that this was part 1, and then the films about Celine started, but it turned out otherwise. The actress playing Sonya is as beautiful as Celine, the actors are very cool🔥

As far as I understood, Lucian appeared and was able to control his transformation due to the fact that he was born to a lycan who used to be a woman, and pregnant. The relationship with Sonya was clear after he saved her or when they met a couple of times at the palace. Because of this, they got feelings, but it's strange that her father killed his own daughter, although he could have killed a born hybrid child and Lucian, but he killed his daughter. His stupidity is off the scale and he still believes that he did

Soryan, but this part is a little weak, they told about the story of Lucian and Sonya in the first part, so they didn't add anything new. Especially when you watch 3 parts in a row, you feel the difference. I watched it on rewind. It's a pity, however, I liked the first part of it 🥺

The film keeps you in suspense until the very end!

According to the comments, many are weak, but for me 2 parts are better. Yes, we saw this story, but in 2 sentences, and here we just explained how the "beasts" became intelligent and were able to control reincarnation. How lycans appeared - I assume that the bitten woman was pregnant and gave birth already in the form of a werewolf, and did not kill the child because she felt a wolf in him, this is later shown in the cave, as a pure-blooded werewolf does not attack Lucian in the form of a human.
The only thing that is still the origin of feelings between Sonya and Lucian has not been revealed:(

I love this movie about as much as the first one.
Starring Michael Sheen - what could be better? In the first part, there was very little of it, as for me.
An insanely charismatic character. This story reveals him not just as the leader of the Lycans, but as Victor's victim and some good in this saga.

Victor is still amazing. No matter how much of an asshole he is, how good he is.

Well, Rona Mitra in the role of Sonya is very good. It's a pity that she wasn't shown in the first part, but if that actress had been taken here, she would have been as uncompetitive as possible to Selina, and Rona copes well with the role of the second sex symbol of the saga.

Separately, of course, it is absolutely impossible to ignore the return of Kevin Grevier to the role of Raise. How powerful he is, how strong his paws are

The couple somehow really came out weakly, although I watched this movie in the year of its release, then I really liked this part.

All the features of the original are preserved, from the naturalistic lycan dolls to the decorations with minimal graphics and chromakey, the result is a Georgian aesthetic with frescoes of Rome and a large mosaic on the walls in the form of a Corvinus tree and their history, in general, while maintaining a lively aesthetic, the author went into the expansion of the lore, although without a bright female role, all the honors should be given more to Michael Sheen, who had his own hit, it's a pity, it's not that long, and Bill Nighy is still strong, and it's not for nothing that he's the main evil here, even though I miss Marcus more.

In general, while the two supreme vampires are sleeping, Victor is messing up again, losing control of the werewolves for the first time, and creating the main enemies of his race, I wonder how Marcus did not finish him off for this, creating another arch-ally for himself, in general, it is clear that Marcus has his cockroaches, and xs, that It was only after the deaths of Victor and Amilia that he became so obsessed with finding his brother. Apparently, it turned out to be more important for him to look for the amulet from his father and Selina than from Lucian.

It turned out that in the prequel everything goes according to the well-known scenario, where Victor's daughter should burn, and the fruits of enmity should explode like a powder keg, which makes mistakes visible, but still the story becomes less intriguing and rather based on the tale of Romeo and Juliet, who are not destined to be together, and where the revolution of slaves — rather, the pre-conflict inside the palace intrigues and stupid decisions of lovers.

With my budget, everything paid off, and the sequel was worth waiting for soon, and of course, I'm kind of glad that even such a bold decision to go back in time to the Middle Ages was able to pay dividends and give all the authors a chance at new projects, and proving that naturalism in makeup and stuntmen don't eat their bread in vain, and that with With the right approach, there is a place to dig up a fan base.

Well, thanks for the Tire, it's beautiful. I watched it for him. And at the same time, understand how Celine looks like Sonya, because in the first part, only that she is a woman.
The story was just expanded, but I also saw this from the expanded version of part 1. And it was nice to see this healthy warrior. In part 1, he's kind of dumb and the hero of the Tire pushes him around just like that, but now at least it's clear why.

Well, yes, Rona Mitra (Sonya) for some reason did this poor lip plastic surgery and ruined the facial expressions of those lips. Sadness. There were no more roles after that.

It was a pity that latex had not yet been invented at that time and Sonya had to suffer in their chain mail dresses.🤸🏻♀️

Romeo and Juliet in a different reading, vampires and werewolves instead of Montague and Capulet, and everything ends just as badly.
Victor is the worst father

I really love this particular part, despite all the hate towards it. I really love this, and Michael Sheen is starring here, really, it couldn't be better, that's for sure) I really had enough of him here. Lucian with the revision causes me only warm feelings, since he is definitely not a negative character, it was Victor who made him cruel over the years with his enmity and numerous wars. Victor is really a terrible character, but how well the actor coped, I just admired! He played incredibly well, which was breathtaking. Michael Sheen is a completely different situation, I love him so much, how incredibly he transforms into his characters, just chic! it's a pity that the other parts turned out to be much weaker than the first three... 💔
