Dude, I hope Underworld doesn't suck.

hwangoI'm really looking forward to the film, but trying not to get my hopes up. I mean, it is a vampires vs. werewolves movie, after all. On the other hand...it's a vampires vs. werewolves movie!
At first all I had seen were the full page ads in comics that told you only that the movie would feature a woman with a gun standing on a ledge. This wasn't really enough to pull me into the theater. Also, I sort of assumed it might be some sort of crime film.
Later, someone asked if I'd seen ads for it, and I told them that I'd only seen the aforementioned comic ads. He told me that he'd seen something else that seemed to imply vampires. Okay, things are perking up a little. I'm no big vampire fan, but a movie with a supernatural angle is more likely to grab me than a real-world crime film is. Then I talked to someone else, who told me that it was vampires vs werewolves. This came as rather a surprise. I didn't think anyone would dare such a thing with today's movie-going audiences. So I sought out the trailer online.
Ah, the trailer. Now I want to see this movie. Okay, the acting looks like it might be iffy in a few places, but the core concept is keen, the effects look keen, and the whole atmosphere of the film looks wicked keen. I just typed the words "wicked keen." Clearly, I need some sleep.
Anyway, I'm going to have to go see this opening day, so no one can come to me and tell me that it sucked and that I shouldn't bother. I'm tired of missing films that I might have liked just because a bunch of other people hated them. Sure, they probably saved me from some crap doing that, but I don't always agree with these people about other films, so I might have missed a good one that way, too.

Underworld
Date: 2003-09-04 04:38 am (UTC)She was funny in, "Cold Comfort Farm" though. She's been in several movies I enjoyed but Pearl Harbor was not one of them. :P
If you look at her IMDB data it appears she's VERY busy!
It's always weird when someone tries to reintroduce themselves as an action star.
The movie looks like it would be worth seeing though. Vampires and Werewolves are cool.
