Title: Underworld (2003) |

Review of Underworld (Unrated Extended Cut)
Kate Beckinsale stars as Selene, a high-ranking member of an elite vampire warrior class working to obliterate the lycans - the race of werewolves. The struggle between the races has been waging for centuries, but a scheme to create an interbred species that combines the strengths of both races threatens to undermine both groups' existence and their underworld battle.
Things get started as Selene uncovers a lycan plot to kidnap a human doctor (Scott Speedman), who somehow has a connection to both races. Kraven, the arrogant vampire leader, quickly becomes jealous of the affection between Selene and the doctor. At the same time, the Lycan leader is trying to hunt them both down. It's "Romeo and Juliet", "The Matrix", and "Dracula Meets the Wolfman" thrown into a blender.
I've never seen a film with both werewolves and vampires in it like this, let alone at war with each other. It was kinda cool but it didn't deliver enough action and the story was way to complicated when all you wanna do is see Selene naked. Seriously though, the plot twists so much, there was a different bad guy every ten minutes. Very annoying. But it is decently cool action and a hot lead character.

i have the "R" rated version,b ut my mom will not let me have the "UNRATED" version, what is the difference?
Score: 10 - Posted by Anonnymous on September 1, 2004
Yeah, I have both, and the only differences are a backstory for Michael, an extra kissing scene for the two of them, and this freaky little scene where Kraven and Erika are going at it. But you don't see anything at all, in fact, Kraven's still fully clothed throughout..
