      The result after a long wait...

      The eDonkey came out with no subtitles, but in English. After watching it, I didn't fully understand it... No way, worry!
      The story of Lucian and Sonja only flashed back a few times in underworld1, but it was me My favorite part, I think it would be nice to have a complete story. Later, I knew that a prequel was going to be released, and I was very excited. God knows I have
      to say it with great expectations. I thought the previous trailer was very good-looking and very aura,
      but...

      Lucian's background

      In Underworld I, it is said that Lucian is an ordinary serf, who was gnawed by a werewolf before he changed his body. Because he is more powerful among the Lycans, he became the leader.
      In the prequel ROL, it is said that he is a direct descendant of Willian.
      I can only rely on this claim of raising the price!
      If Lucian was Willian's son, wouldn't Victor have the guts of a leopard? As the nephew or grand-nephew of the first elder Max, Victor abused the young master of the second...

      The prequel is very written and one-sided


      I never get bored of movies about werewolves and vampires.
      Of course, slowly I also found that there are countless bad
      movies about these two groups. The really wonderful thing is that these movies are big productions and have a good team in many places. It 's done very well, especially in many big scenes , the wolf and vampire battles are still very exciting, but the focus of this film seems to be more emotional drama . Or because this film is a prequel , the action...

      This is a popcorn chip for Valentine's Day...

      The atmosphere of the story created by 12 is so wonderful that I had
      high expectations for it
      . I watched the trailer and added a few milligrams of adrenaline. I played
      it with a slow thunderbolt for more than an hour . I
      have to say that I am very disappointed. There are a
      lot of wounds & piercing shots.
      There are only undead creatures like the animal world. The wonderful journey of xx is unforgettable
      . It has the taste of the foreign version of golden...

      Very embarrassing and boring!

      Well, I admit that there are times when foreign films also go downhill, and of course this is one of the typical ones!

        The story starts from a bastard that revolves around from the beginning to the end, so that after reading the beginning, you can think of what the end of the story is. To be honest, I didn't watch this movie from beginning to end at all, and I didn't watch it either. After the first few works, just fast forward and add subsections to enjoy it.

      It is to expand the memory part in the first part into a movie, the gun battle becomes a sword, because the first werewolf falls in love with a vampire, which triggers a thousand-year war centered on the son-in-law and the father-in-law, which is not It's just that shit at your house~ Two and a half...

      Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The quality of the third work in the series remains at a comparable level. But instead of the name Guikulanghao, it's better to call it Wolfshenk's Redemption or the Wolf Race Revolution! Also, I really love...

    Movie plot

    The war between werewolves and vampires has never stopped, but vampires are almost like human beings, rational and intelligent, and organized like an empire. The werewolves do not have a leader, cannot transform into a human form, are furious and violent, attacking humans and vampires like beasts. Although vampires occupies a dominant position, there is not much to do with a large number of werewolves. Finally, among the werewolves...

    CG production

    Regarding the visual effects of this film, Patrick Tatepulos, who has been immersed in it for many years, said that the entire film has hundreds of special effects shots, especially the towns in the respective territories of the wolf family and the vampire, which basically use full CG. Sketching, this is a challenge to the actors’ interpretation. He asks them to imagine enemies who are not there. In terms of CG production, the film has...

    In "The End of the World", Laura Mitra was regarded by the audience as very similar to Kate Beckinsale in "Underworld", and this time he took over Kate Beckinsale's stick and participated in "Night Night".

    With the heroine replaced, "Underworld" also loses its essence. ("Washington Post" review) 
    Another film series that has been successfully promoted to a trilogy. To be sure, this is the best vampire film trilogy. ("New York Times" review)

    • Lucian: If I had not left none of this would've happened

      Sonja: Then you would not be who you are, you're right no one should live a life like this. your brothers are free because of you;they are forever changed because of what you have done.

      Lucian: But I failed you!

      Sonja: No, Lucian my love,you have not failed me,the choices I made have led me here and to you, you said yourself that there were risks you were willing to take for me... as was I for you... for us.

    • Lucian: If I were to leave from here, would you come with me?

      Sonja: Leave? Do not say that, do not even think it. My father would have you hunted down and marked like all the others.

      Lucian: [Talking about his collar] Not if I can remove this.

      Lucian: Look

      [Shows her a key]

      Lucian: I made it myself. This will be my freedom.

      Sonja: Lucian, promise me you will not use it. Please!

      Lucian: Is that your answer, then? You will not come with me, so you want me to stay here for you? Like this? Like an animal?

      Sonja: Lucian!

      Lucian: Vampire and Lycan, we are both the children of Corvinus. Yet my kind are slaves. I will use this one day. And I will leave this place. But I can never be without you, now.

    • Viktor: I wanted to believe your lies, but I knew it could not be true, not my own daughter. How could you?
