In 2003 and 2006, director Len Wiseman joined hands with actress Kate Beckinsale to present the first and second parts of "Underworld" to the audience, which were beautiful, stunning and glamorous. The story of vampires and werewolves, the love and hatred of generations; the rich ancient atmosphere of the picture, gloomy and gloomy; the mysterious and violent underground world, it is amazing. All the elements were well used by the director, and they were revived by artistic means. We have to admire the director's discerning eyes. However, the next few films have gone from bad to worse. The repetition of themes, the old-fashioned stories, the contrived characters, and the sequels have become a means of making money. It's a pity.
The fifth film this time, once again, is a bad film, and it is definitely a strong contender for the "worst film" of the Golden Raspberry Award.
The fifth "Blood War", the story is connected to the fourth, and continues to be edited. The blood of the mixed-race female Evie has become a treasure that wolves and vampires flock to. Evie's mother, the vampire Selena, hid it, but she became the target of the two major races. At the same time, Maris, the new leader of the wolf clan, assembled a large number of troops and launched an unstoppable attack on the blood clan, destroying a large number of strongholds of the blood clan, and the situation of the blood clan was in jeopardy.
I can't complain, so I choose a few points to talk about (the pros and cons are good and bad, it's up to the audience to comment)
1. The background tone of the movie
will continue to be dominated by dark tones, and the continuation of the tradition. , feel the visual fatigue.
Second, the choice of actor
Kate Beckinsale, who plays Selene, is unstoppable. Except for the third part, which was withdrawn for personal reasons, the other four are the protagonists, and they are the only center of the story. But after 15 years, aesthetic fatigue.
Lara Pulver, who plays Semira, the glamorous villain, is definitely the highlight of this work. She is cruel, sexy and charming, and she is definitely more interesting than Kate Beckinsale.
Charles Dance, who plays Thomas, is an acting school. Although he has not played much time, he is very memorable.
Third, the procrastination of the plot
This series is going further and further, the black tight leather jacket + endless killing + the supporting role of the dragon suit without changing the soup, this is a Hollywood-style money-making routine, the plot is no longer at the level of normal IQ, The emotional intelligence of consuming the audience has become the director's new pleasure. It is really embarrassing to
write at the end. Such a series of shoddy works should be closed as soon as they are good. Don't forget the audience's reputation for the gold and silver cups.
Director★☆☆☆☆(This IQ, can only be despised)
Actor★★☆☆☆(Lara Pulver and Charles Dance are the highlights)
Plot☆☆☆☆☆(Golden Raspberry Award Worst Plot)
Visual Effects★☆☆ ☆☆(Dark colors, lack of aesthetics)
Sound effects★★★☆☆(The only entity that can prove the existence of this movie)
I don't recommend it, it's definitely a waste of time for
detailed movie reviews + stills first published in "The Journey of Floyd and Helen", thank you
