Underworld - Page 2

Was a good Movie.

Good blend of Action and Story. I was suprised about the story. Has some things you wouldn't expect. Some cool twists. Nothing too terribly ground breaking. But then it's getting really hard to get anything "new" now adays.

So if I made a movie about werewolves and near the end of the movie I start having the werewolves transform into sniper rifles and motorcycles you wouldn't call bullshit?

I am sorry but there are certain rules to follow if you want to call the creatures vampires or Lycanthropes.

If Vampires are doing things that have been consistantly impossible throughout Vampire mythology, they cease to be vampires. Why even call them vampires if you are not going to be consistant with the mythology.

Why not just call them some other name?

So if you saw a Vampire turn into a motorcycle and a sniper rifle you would not call bullshit. I rest my case.

I'd find it completely rediculous.. but not more so than anything else out there today.... so you find it to be bullshit that doesnt make it bullshit.. I mean this could easily go for religion... but let us not start that... vampires and wearwolves are enough for one thread... I mean come on... men that turn into giant wolf like beasts, need silver to kill em..... creatures that need to suck blood and can only go out at night.... i call all that bullshit...

So if I make a movie about greek gods and Hermes is the King of the Gods and Zeus is the messenger god, wouldn't you agree that there is something wrong.

It is just mythology. There aren't any "facts" about greek gods or mythology.

However you and I both know there is correct mythology and incorrect mythology. Just because you make something up off the top of your head does not mean that it creates continuity with other myhtology.

I heard Whitewolf is actually suing because the movie is a rip off of Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf the Apocalypse

Note: The above is a rumor. I haven't even seen the movie yet

What is the difference? They are both mythology. They are both beliefs in the supernatural.

BTW, in case you haven't noticed, very few people worships Zeus or any of the greek gods anymore. It is not an entire peoples religion. I would say there are more people that worship vampires than Zues and company.

The movie was awesome, much better than Blade ever was.

And what "Mythical" information was wrong in the movie???

Mazzic · 2003-09-22, 02:29 PM

Other than Werewolves fighting Vampires. There was absolutely no relation to the Whitewolf's World of Darkness games. Anyone that saw the movie and knew anything about those games would agree.

Violator · 2003-09-22, 03:53 PM

yea i heard that movie was bad, by the way did anyone see Fang vs. Fiction on AMC.

I beg to differ. Underworld was pretty good, but not as good as Blade (I and II). The movie ripped off Blade. This doesn't give anything away, the Vampires die EXACTLY the same way as in Blade, they fade away like a cigarette. Rip off
