Vampirical, sexy, bloody and just good fun
This is a 'genre' film, so please let's ignore those who either don't 'get' the genre, or think vampires need to be cloaked and have luciferian haircuts. <
> <
>The genre isn't known for it's complicated plots or Mills & Boon romance elements, and U:E doesn't provide either; though it does provide romance--which is always a nice counterweight to the blood and gore and hoarse, overwrought vampirical (and, in this instance, werewolfish) pronouncements and somewhat stilted dialogue. Plus there always seems to be the need for lengthy exposition and explanation. Actually there shouldn't be, but this is a sequel and there may be those who didn't see the original. I don't know how that's possible, but what the heck! The convoluted expositional material, though some attempt was made to wave it into the action, and the way in which the background really, really could have been less twisted and long-winded, is the reason why I didn't this any more points--despite Kate Beckinsale in latex (and out of it: very daring!), just about the best vampire killer since Jessica Biehl in Blade 3. <
> <
>So what, it's all about violence and sex? You bet. That's the essence of the genre and its antecedents. <
> <
>U:E delivers all of that. It wasn't 'tense' as such, because you saw the action a mile coming, but I, for one, didn't mind. I enjoyed it more than the Blade movies, possibly because of Kate Latex, but I'd like to claim it was because of the helicopter in it. And nobody would believe me. Tut, tut. <
> <
>Just sit back an enjoy it. It all ends of a positive note, though I'm kind of wondering just exactly WHAT these people eat and how much. They're not vegetarians, and hearty Russian peasant-food doesn't seem to cut it either. I wonder if the writer had a bad experience in Russia--with food that is. I got the impression there was an in-joke somewhere. <
> <
>Oh, yes, and Kate rocks and kicks serious b. To think that she played Hero and Emma in some distant past... Oh, well, this is probably better for her anyway. Exercise is good for you. Never mind 'character' roles, which are over-rated anyway. <

Excellence is watchable indeed. This movie is it.
The first movie was very good, but in my opinion, this movie blows that one away. The multitudinal plot continues to weave an even thicker blanket as reasons why certain things in the first movie were so came to light... why Selene was left alive was already apparently... but why Viktor killed her family... now that comes out in this one. <
>Kate Beckinsale, as always, is stunning and excellent, as is Scott and the rest of the cast. I found the character of Marcus particularly intriguing as well. <
> <
>Anyone who liked the first movie will love this one unless they're... well, retarded maybe? <
>Anyone who didn't like the first movie, you're an idiot, but to put more fine a point on it, even if you didn't like it, you may very well like this movie. The story is great, if you follow it well enough through the first movie to this one. The action is excellent. The acting, and no, there isn't a ton of it, but you know what, audible acting is sometimes less important than physical and mental acting, which is a great fine high point in this movie. <
>I gave if five stars because I saw it once in theatres and I positively cannot wait to see it again. I plan on buying it on Pay-Per-View and buying this when it comes out. <
>The ending leaves room for a third movie, and I sincerely hope they make one because this film-franchise deserves a third wind. <
> <
>And yes, as other reviews state, this does pick up right where the first movie left off, after a brief glimpse in to the past to set up the principle behind this movie as well as put some finer points on things discussed, but not really went in to that much, in the first movie. Overall, it is a worth-while watch... I plan on finding myself watching it several times the first day it comes out, because I seriously didn't want to leave the theatre when it ended because I wanted to watch it again. <
> <
>Last but not least, just in the event that by some miracle Kate actually reads Amazon reviews, I love you Kate Beckinsale :-D You're awesome and keep up the great work!

A good ending
This movie was just as good as the first. Kate Beckensdale really heats up the screen, and the chemistry between her and Scott Speedman is tangible. <
> <
>The story line may have been simple, but so was the first one. These aren't movies to make you think, they are ment to entertain you and make you wonder 'what if'. <
> <
>the special effects are amazing, especially the ending. Much stronger than the first. I really hope they figure out some way to make another.
