Grade: D+
Rating: PG-13, 91 minutes
In a Nutshell: Fans of this franchise will be glad to see
more of the story. Fans of the beautiful
Kate Beckinsale will get to watch her kick butt wearing black leather some more. Fans of vampires and Lycans will enjoy
it. Anyone else may want to pass on this
one.
Uplifting theme:
- You’ll
ask yourself, “Why can’t we all just get along?”
- Family, loyalty.
- Blood is life.
Things I liked:
- The
first 90 seconds give you a very quick overview of what happened in prior
movies.
- Cool
special effects. Most of them look
great, although a few moments look awkward.
- I
think it’s cool how one drop of blood can show so many memories of a
character’s life. There is a LOT of
blood and talk of blood in this movie, lending great meaning to this film’s
title.
Things I didn’t like:
- Kate
gets beat up a lot. Pretty flimsy
plot to keep bringing her back…
- Lots
of growling. Ha ha
- SPOILER: It
ends rather abruptly. I wanted more of a satisfying conclusion, rather than a dangling finish that obviously leads into yet more sequels.
Interesting lines:
- “I’m
finished with this war.” – Selene (Kate Beckinsale)
“Well, it’s not finished with you.”
– David (Theo James)
- “Are
you a slave?” Then don’t act like
one.” -
- “It’s
strange to lose someone you feel like you’ve never known.” – David
- “I no longer fear death, for I
have known it once already.” - Selene
Funny lines:
- “Don’t think. You’ll hurt yourself.” – Semira (Lara Pulver)
Tips for
parents:
- There
is a LOT of violent fighting and splattering blood of various creatures. Characters die in a lot of terrible
ways.
- Semira wears a lot of skimpy clothes and kisses another woman.
