Boy, is Underworld Evolution a load. Of crap. I never saw the first, so maybe I was at a disadvantage, but I was able to sort of understand the basics. Cheap, cheap, cheap, though that kind of heartened me in a way: it was like the 80's all over again, when your average movie could look like it was made of cardboard, when people could spout off lines like, "You'll never stop him." and "We'll see about that."
Jesus wept.
