Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
...not a BAD movie, but not really a good one either. The franchise has quite a rich and detailed backstory/mythology, and I've always liked origin story-type films, so this was quite good. It was nice to see Bill Nighy back as Viktor, as wel - he was one of the few things I liked about the first film. But the story was predictable, the action scenes not quite as good as the second film, and it wasn't really all that engaging. I don't think the Underworld movies deserve the slamming critics have given them - as a franchise goes, whilst it isn't terribly original, thought has clearly gone into it - but...yeah, it's mediocre. That's the nicest way to put it.
