Brilliant action/adventure/fantasy film. Lots of non stop gory action violence, more than the first one. Although gory and strong, the violence is very fast paced, and is set in dark settings, so the blood is black and graphic detail is hard to see. Has two mildly explicit sex scenes. Great action flick for teens.

What Parents Need to Know
About Underworld: Evolution
Parents need to know that this film features incessant, stylized, and graphic violence. Modes of death and injury include decapitation, disembowelment, dismemberment, piercing, crossbowing, impaling, chopping, and shooting, as well as slamming with trucks and jeeps, massive fiery explosions, biting and ripping with fangs, digging into chest cavities, and penetrating limbs, torsos, and heads with spearlike wingtips. Motivations include vengeance and power-madness. Selene uses a truck to slam a vampire into a mountainside repeatedly, a chopper with whirring blades serves to splatter a villain excessively. A sex scene features slow motion naked bodies in softlit profile. Some drinking in a tavern, some blood-drinking in a wineglass, smoking in the background of a couple of scenes; one scene features explicit vomiting. Characters curse occasionally ("hell," s-word, and f-word, one rendered in subtitle).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the film's representation of race differences. If the vampires and lycans are descended from the same father, as revealed in this film's mythology, their centuries-long battle seems especially tragic and futile. How might the hybrid characters -- both the werewolf/vampire mix Michael and the new breed Selene becomes -- hold a hope for a future not premised on race-warring? And how does the franchise simultaneously depend on fight imagery: blood, body parts, stomach-churning violence?

Good, but not as good as the first...
I loved this movie, mainly because I'm a fan of vampires and horror fiction, but it still wasn't as good as the first. The graphics and CG are better, but plot-wise it's a bit slow and mainly supported by blood, gore, and monster chases. That happens to be something I like in a movie of this genre, but I'd not recommend it to anyone under 14 years of age. As for the sex scene, it's a bit intense. It's rather easy to tell that it's fake, though, due to positioning of the bodies - but younger kids likely wouldn't know that. And even then, the sex scene actually made me feel a bit iffy when I was watching it with a friend: Awkward moment. Overall, though, it's a good movie for a sequel but makes very little sense as a stand-alone.

Not as good as the first
Not half as well done as the original, but a great plot line and a must see for anyone who was a fan of the first. Any kid mature enough to enjoy this movie is gonna know when he shouldn't be looking at the screen.

NOT FOR 15 OR UNDER!!
This movie almost got an NC-17(that's one rating below X) rating for violence. Every violent action you can probably name happens in this movie! The sex scene wasn't too bad (comparing it to American Pie or Love Actually) Language was pretty strong, but that usually isn't a big issue for kids in Jr. High or High School. If parents are considering letting their kids see this movie, have them watch the other one first. It was much less violent, gory, and provacative.

Really sick!!!
Sick and gross!!! People getting decapitated, losing limbs, getting gashed, and bleeding profusely. Lots of nudity, including a three-way, lots of language. I'm sorry I went.
