Underworld (2003) is such a guilty pleasure

[grmltr]

Is this the matrix.. oh wait it's KATE BECKINSALE oh shit!!!




Or that scene where Kurt Kobain falls out a window and punches a cop.




What are your fav Underworld (2003) or other guilty pleasure movies?

 

[Decado]

I like all of them. 2nd is just as fun and I even enjoyed the others, though the last is the weakest, sadly.

 

[Soj]

I enjoy that the style is shamelessly lifted from the Matrix, but the action set pieces are taken from Albert Pyun movies.

 

[kai3345]

i really need to watch these. im all about that era of campy 90s/2000s vampire movies and tv. buffy, angel and blade are all some of my favorites so im sure this would be right up my alley

 

[Deleted member 721]

1,2,3 are fun 4 and 5 are bad

 

[Omanisat]

Love it. There's some really underappreciated wire-fu and practical effects.

 

[grmltr]

I can't compare the two: Circle gun hole escape or Lucien car flip?

 

[Dank Lotion]

Bill Nighy hamming it up as Viktor made this an instant classic for me.

Like someone else mentioned, this movie also captured that early 2000's aesthetic perfectly.

 

[krae_man]

Which one was it that didn't pay to have the dude that looks like Scott Sapp come back and didn't even try to find a lookalike?

Was that 4? That made me laugh so hard.

 

[RoninRay]

Underworld and resident evil are my guilty pleasure movies.

 

[Tace]

Guilty pleasure for me as well. Saw this and Freddy vs Jason back to back at the drive thru as a kid

Good times

I remember watching the circle gun hole escape scene and kept thinking about having infinite ammo.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

The prequel is legitimately a good film. Way better than it had any right to be.

Better than circle gun hole?

same here fam

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

Kate Beckinsale is my forever waifu

 

[Dr. Monkey]

Almost everything feels like something cobbled together from something else - the Matrixy things, the combat styles, the World of Darkness flavor - so much pastiche and it results in what is definitely a fun, easily watchable movie. I rewatched it not along ago and it's still entertaining.

I never understood the concept of guilty pleasures, how are you guilty of anything?

 

[FLX-II]

I love Bill Nighy in these movies. I really like these movies.

 

[SweetVermouth]

I always wanted a Blade, Resident Evil, Underworld crossover. It would be stupid, but a ton of fun.

It's trash, but you love it.

Edit: Unless you are alleging Underworld is quality cinema, which it is. Oscar where?

 

[jenya]

How does loving trash make you guilty though and Oscars are meaningless anyway.

 

[Angie]

Is not a guilty pleasure at all.

1,2 and 3 are great movies.

 

[mavericktopgun]

Underworld 2 was my first Blu Ray :). Looked amazing.

 

[Mezati99]

greatest vampire movie ever made

my god Kate Beckinsale is a goddess

 

[CassCade]

I like them too, I think I'll watch the fifth tonight. Nobody looks as good in leather as Kate Beckinsale.

 

[Jimi D]

Ya, I need a dose of Underworld and Sommers' The Mummy biannually; as a '60s Monster Kid these movies are just too much fun!

 

[Unaha-Closp]

I enjoyed the first one a whole lot back in the day. Kate Beckinsale in a black leather skin-tight outfit - sweet baby jesus. Don't recall if I saw any of the others. Still have the DVD in a box somewhere.

 

[RellikSK]

The 3rd movie(the prequel) imo was actually pretty good.

 

[Turin]

Much like with Rambo, the first one would probably be held in higher regard if the sequels didn't happen.

 

[SilentMike03]

I refuse to watch 3 cause Kate isn't in it.

Three is pretty damn good though your loss.

 

[AuthenticM]

I wish that movie had been directed by John Woo. It would have been glorious.

 

[deftones r cool]

Guilty pleasure for me as well. Saw this and Freddy vs Jason back to back at the drive thru as a kid

God that's a double feature I'd love. Perfect representation of Hollywood horror in that era also.

 

[Pomerlaw]

What I always find amazing in these movies is how they can't shoot straight.

You are like a fucking vampire that can run faster than a car and catch a fly with your tongue, but bad guy is 30 feet from you and you can hit him with a semi automatic gun that shoots 10 bullets per second.

 

[Chrome Hyena]

.

Underworld 1 had so much style it dripped off the screen. You can feel it's gothic post Matrix/WoD influence.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

The entire franchise has a great mood and they're fun too watch. Not enough movies do the sci-fi vampires thing. Yeah it's campy and trashy at times but they're very enjoyable. Resident Evil movies get a lot more hype but I feel they go for a similar thing and Underworld pulls it off a lot better.

 

[dragonbane]

It's honestly a lot of fun and Beckinsale kills it

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I bundle these in with the Blade movies. Guilty pleasures I enjoy watching and if they are on I'll usually watch them.

 

[AaronMT]

16 years late. Watched it on Netflix. Yeah I can totally see what people meant when it looks like it was shot on leftover sets from the Matrix
