Personally I enjoyed this film more than any high budget 'mainstream movie' I have seen in years years. But I can see many of the problems others have pointed out. Although the small action scenes work very well, the more elaborate scenes are disjointed, confused, and somewhat silly. If you compare the opening subway sequence to the train station sequence in 'The Untouchables', you see an illustration of why less is better; and 'Underworld' expends more ammo for less effect than anything this side of a 'Godzilla' film. Along with too much aggressive confusion is the silliest head-splitting in cinema history.

Surely this was just simple incompetence and not deliberate, because there are ways to show this (i.e. A line) that would still make it a relatively shocking scene.

The story itself breaks too many horror genre conventions and fails to generate much real suspense (although the climax is somewhat surprising). But ultimately these problems did not interfere with my enjoyment of the movie. This was because it is first and foremost a Kate Beckensale's vehicle, as emphasized by recent trailer for the sequel.
