Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans

OK, I have to admit that I am now officially and Underworld fan. I think this third movie was better than the first two. Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans is a prequel to the first two movies and details the story of Lucien, head of the werewolves, and Sonja daughter of Victor, the head of the vampires. Their story, obviously one of forbidden love, is referenced in the first two movies so I wasn't sure if I would enjoy watching it since I already know how it was going to end. I think it's a testament to the great acting talent of Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy that I was enthralled in the story from start to finish. This movie focused more on the characters than the first two which seemed to focus more on action and plot (which I love, so I'm not knocking it). If you're a fan of the first two, you should definitely see this one.
