I guess it all boils down to this being more of a slave rebellion film than a werewolf movie.
Directed by Patrick Tatopoulos, Rise of the Lycans is an origin story about how the war between the Lycans and the vampires first started. The third movie in the series, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, is likely your favorite. Yes, it’s pretty violent, but it also looks kind of cartoony in its bloodshed. But the action and drama that come off of this plot feel super stale. The idea that the world is aware of vampires is a good one, kind of like that underrated gem, Daybreakers. I think Underworld: Awakening had its heart in the right place, but unfortunately, a stake was slammed right through that heart. In this sequel, which follows the events of the second movie, Selene and Michael’s daughter, Eve (played by India Eisley) is being hunted by Lycans because they think her DNA will make them bigger, better, faster, stronger, like that one Daft Punk song. What I mean is, it has the same feel with the whole laboratory aspect, and the hybrid storyline. Directed by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein, I consider the fourth movie in the series, Underworld: Awakening, to be the Resident Evil of the Underworld franchise.
