Underworld rise of the Lycans is the third installment in the underworld series. This prequel takes us back over a thousand years to the beginning before the war between the vampires in the lycans (werewolves). It is centered around the tragic love story between Lucian played by (Michael Sheen) and Sonja played by (Rhona Mitra) the daughter of vampire Elder Viktor played by (Bill Nighy) that was briefly alluded to in the first movie. Lucian is the central character in this story and the performance by Michael Sheen is moving and emotional. The performance of Bill Nighy as Vicktor flawless as usual and reminiscent of the diabolical Dr. Pretorius played by Ernest Thesiger in the original Bride of Frankenstein.
There is no shortage of quality special FX in this film and as far as werewolves go this is one of the top 3 if not the best werewolf movie ever made! The old werewolves that prowl the lands and never take human form again are exactly what a werewolf is supposed to look like. I hope that future filmmakers pay attention to this when designing their werewolves.
Your sentence structure is very nice and flows well. The content of your paragraphs is organized and easy to understand. That being the case, I can't help but wonder why some of your text is gray and some is white.
ReplyDeleteIf highlighting is your intention, perhaps you should try keeping your contrast high with the white text and using yellow text to highlight key points.
Also, I would suggest for short reviews you could break out of the paragraph indent; the indent actually makes it a little harder to read.
Finally, I like that you included a cast. Its a unique element that separates your blog from others. I think in its current form it is a bit large, but could easily be developed into a great reason to come back to your reviews with each new installment.
Your review is well written and easy to read. I also wondered about the text color. One thing I would suggest is maybe telling a bit more about the movie itself. It kind of leaves me hanging as to what the movie involves.
ReplyDeletei agree with everything that Hairy Hippie said, and would like to add, as an enormous fan of the series as well, I would like to see some of the ideas fleshed out some. Don't get me wrong, the ideas are solid, but they need some expansion, create a hook for the reader like by talking about how the Lycans rise up and ascend from slavery to an unstoppable force in this particular film. You may even mention more about the taboo love between Lucian, almost like a son to Viktor, and Sonja, Viktor's own flesh and blood that he himself condemns.
