People need to know that this "Underworld" serves as a Prequel to the first two, and in that, it does more clearly define the rise of the Lycans and the conflict between them and the Vampires. Of course its violent, but anyone familiar with the series would know that, anyway

What Parents Need to Know
About Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
Parents need to know that teens might be clamoring to see this movie after the succcess of Underworld and Underworld: Evolution -- not to mention the increased interest in all things vampire thanks to Twilight -- but this is no angsty teen love story. It's an all-out class war between vampires and werewolves, and it's loaded with extreme special-effects violence (from decapitations to being cut in half) and oceans of blood. There's also a sex scene in which little is left to the imagination, but it's more comical than explicit.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether on-screen violence is less problematic when it depicts supernatural beings fighting, rather than regular people. What about when the supernatural beings look human? What's the impact of watching this kind of violence? Families can also discuss the movie's slaves-versus-rulers plotline -- how does the film's central conflict parallel race differences? And why do you think Hollywood likes making prequels and sequels to popular franchises? Is it just to make money?

Great
This movie is great. It has a story that leads into a very strong issue that should be investigated by kids. Unless you are into slavery then fine don't let your kids watch it. Its starts from love and full circles to murder but you know its kinda hard not to when its a story that particularly revolves around prejudice, discrimination and slavery. I this if a kid can understand those concepts then they will be okay to watch it.

Amazing
I don't know what the heck is wrong with CS. This is the BEST Underworld movie that has been made. It's way better than the Twilight movie. This is defiantly for older/mature teens. My favorite movie. Very good for vampire and werewolf fans or action horror movie fans. Don't listen to CS! They're screwed in the head.
