    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    Kristoffer is correct, but Underworld does look like it suxxxxxxxxxors.

    I liked Underworld, though it set itself up for a trilogy of sorts. It was a definitely inspired by (read: ripped off) The Matrix, though.

    The dialogue was really bad. I don't know whether this was mostly the fault of the writer or the actors.

    Also, the movie represents a slightly different reality than most fantasy/horror movies, but instead of giving people a little credit for picking up stuff themselves, they constantly beat you over the head telling you what is going on.

    For a movie that has little more than action and a hot girl in leather going for it, there is surprisingly little action compared to the huge (boring) stretches of plot development.

    There is no clear character with which to identify. The various twists keep indicating you should side with someone else. In a good writer/director's hands, this could have been really cool. It's nice to see characters that aren't purely motivated. Here, however, the characters are so two-dimensional that them changing their perceptions/loyalties has little to no dramatic impact.

    Maybe the sequel will be better.

    John Woo or Ringo Lam could've made this movie alot better!
    They would've put the HK-style gun fights we all need.

    So this has nothing to do with Don DeLillo, right?

    Not unless the Vampires had "super-omniscience" (a DeLillo term).

    My friend, who went to see this flick, said that he felt he'd been robbed of almost 2 hours of his life and 8 bucks.
    He's seeking legal representation now in an attempt to recoup his losses, and I wish him luck.
    Keep it simple, stupid.
