Underworld and Underworld Evolution: Blood Irony Deficiency

September 9, 2007 |

From a style standpoint these two looked pretty good, if you want eye candy. Cross the Matrix with the Hellraiser movies, and you’ve got most of it.

But Underworld and Underworld: Evolution both suffer terribly from a lack of irony in the blood. The movies take themselves excruciatingly seriously– from the opening monologue of the first movie you know the whole thing is going to be painful to watch.

How can movies this ludicrous and over-the-top give you no opportunity to crack a smile? Really, much better in this vein was the Blade movie series, or at least the first two.
