Low voltage fun

Feeling like a low powered Crank with a female twist. Never quite sure whether to go full out violent or go for comedy value. So it ends up some where in the middle and with a weak revenge story it's not going to jolt your memory long after.
Kate Beckinsale with her sarcastic blunt quips does make it fairly enjoyable and the supporting cast is pretty decent. OK for a watch but not one to go out of your way to catch.
Why try to Americanise the location as well? European cars, English street signs and scenes shot on the Southbank and quite a few using the Tate Modern location for the villians pad. A couple of fire hydrants, yellow taxis and a school bus to make it look set in New York seem pointless.

Shakespeare fun

Writer/director/star Kenneth Branagh brings one of his several Shakespeare adaptations to the big screen with a very memorable cast including Denzel Washington, Emma Thompson, Michael Keaton and a very young Kate Beckinsale.

If you like old English you will love the comedy, mistaken identity with a little tragedy. This one is not too heavy and can be enjoyed by everyone.

Icy cool thriller

Well this seems to have been panned by the critics. Seems a few got the wrong idea and thought this was going to be like The Thing not sure why? ok it's no oscar winner, but it has an original setting for a whodunit thriller. Some of the actions scenes are hard to make out but that was the effect they went for. Overall it's not that bad, it has a twist or two and some action scenes to satisfy most people.

Not that different to the last 2 films

Another cash in

I was excited to hear about another Underworld film. The first was great but they have gone rapidly down hill ever since. This is slightly better than the last outing and carries on shortly after where the last one ended. However it's been basically the same story for the last few films now. Unless they can come up with something fresh it might be time to put a stake through the heart of this franchise.
