Hindi Underworld Blood Wars

Hindi Underworld: Blood Wars

As the relentless war against the hordes of the bestial Lycan Clan rages on and the truthful allies have shamelessly turned to enemies, once an Elite Death Dealer and now a betrayed and despised pariah, Selene is caught in the middle of a bloodthirsty and ancient war. Inevitably, with the Western Coven utterly destroyed and her daughter Eve, the first pure-blood hybrid, hidden from the world and herself, Selene is hunted down by both Lycans and Vampires alike. Moreover, with the intention to possess Eve's vital blood to create an invincible hybrid army, the Lycans who have regrouped and replenished in the meantime, head to destroy the Vampire's final sanctuary. Who can stand in their way?
The outcast Selene is hunted down by the Lycans led by the powerful Marius that wants her daughter Eve and by the vampires seeking revenge for the death of Viktor and Marcus. Out of the blue, she is attacked by Lycans but David helps her but is wounded. Meanwhile, the ambitious vampire Semira convinces David's father Thomas to plead to Cassius and the council of their coven to forgive the skilled Selene to train the new Death Dealers. He succeeds, but Selene and David are betrayed by Semira and her lover Vargas and David witnesses Semira killing his father. They have to flee to seek shelter at the Nordic Coven Vador where David learns the truth about his mother. When the sanctuary is invaded by Marius and the Lycans, Selene fights Marius that wants to know Eve's whereabouts. Who will win the fight?
I&#39;ll be the first to admit I&#39;ve never been a HUGE fan of the Underworld franchise, however, I am also willing to admit that there is plenty of enjoyment to be derived from some of the franchises installments. However, this is one of the ones that falls short - and by a significant margin.<br/><br/>Underworld: Blood Wars follows on from 2012&#39;s &#39;Awakening&#39; in a slow and lumbering fashion. It&#39;s plagued with incredibly lazy dialogue and choppy sequences that don&#39;t fit together at all. Blood Wars is edited in such a fashion that you feel as though you have missed something at various points throughout the film when you haven&#39;t - the film makers just couldn&#39;t be bothered explaining certain points, leaving it as a jumbled mess.<br/><br/>Blood Wars also fails to buck the trend of sub par acting and seriously B-grade special effects which have tarnished the franchise since day one. The acting is as bad as ever, with line delivery that is serviceable at best. Charles Dance offers a somewhat engaging performance - but his ability lies few and far between the rest.<br/><br/>Running at a brisk 92 minutes Blood Wars feels like it drags on for an eternity, with a constant barrage of special effects driven action sequences woven into a horrible plot line which is severely disjointed.<br/><br/>Ultimately, I&#39;m disappointed in the most recent entry of the Underworld series. It seems that the film makers ideas have run aground and they are now churning out sequels purely for financial gain. If and when there is a sixth entry, I do hope it&#39;s taken a little more seriously than this scattershot &#39;effort&#39;.
The trailers already gave me some hints, I simply refused to believe until I saw it. That the Underworld movies are for the better part, dead and buried.<br/><br/>Yes. The action is still there, as is the gore. Betrayals are still alive and kicking. And the old vampire/lycan grudge is also present.<br/><br/>But is Underworld still Underworld...? Unfortunately no. Kate Beckinsale try as she may, she can&#39;t carry the movie alone, nor do I believe anyone was expecting her to. I was expecting that they&#39;d finally replace Scott Speedman as Michael, with another one of literally dozens of possible and better choices. And finally bring the whole family together, into the fight.<br/><br/>But to my terrible surprise they simply killed off Michael. The way it was done was terrible to say the least. At the end of Awakening, Eve, is finally able to see through her father eyes. And we know that he simply escaped the facilities. But now in Blood Wars, we were given another (conflicting) take on what happened that makes absolutely no sense. So Michael exits the cryo chamber, severely weakened and finds himself captured by Marius. Taken to another place where Marius then proceeds to seemingly shoot him in the head, and strung him up head down to drain Michael of all his blood. Which he then uses to make himself into more of a Wolf-Man than a Lycan.<br/><br/>So, Michael is dead, and Selene for the most part from being considered an outcast through several events (and movies), she ends up basically where she started. Again a member of the Vampire Coven. Now risen to the degree of Elder together with David.<br/><br/>David (Theo James) try as he might, is no Michael nor do I believe that&#39;s his purpose. In fact the story at a certain point seems to try and connect him with maybe one of this movie biggest, if not the only, good surprise. Lena! Lena (Clementine Nicholson) is without a doubt one of this movie greatest assets. And if this was a movie about the next generation, and Michael and Selene daughter, I could see her character portrait as Clementine portrayed hers.<br/><br/>Eve does make an appearance in the end. But the movie had all but basically drained my last ounce of hope. To me without Michael there&#39;s no more Underworld. I got to confess. When Selene was giving her usual movie ending speech, I always hoped that we&#39;d see that Eve had found her father, given some of her blood to him, and even killed a bunch of Lycans and placed their bloody bodies on top of Michael, and from that experience, as Selene had been changed/improved by her trials of ice, so too had Michael evolved into a new form. And both father and daughter were on their way to find Selene.<br/><br/>But no. The movie was at its best, mildly entertaining, with some interesting fight scenes, that weren&#39;t even that great. We got plots inside plots, and twists inside twists. But the core and heart of the franchise is in my opinion, dead!<br/><br/>So see it if you want to. But don&#39;t expect anything outstanding or exhilarating about this movie. In some ways it actually manages to be poorer than Awakening.
The action is nearly relentless, only occasionally interrupted by humorless, tedious exposition, but despite the freneticism it’s almost all completely boring.
