I loved underworld when I was younger! I still remember seeing that sex scene for the first time…what a movie

[–] Wint3rFir3 (7176) a year ago

It's a wonderful film, I agree, and a fine series.

Good list, with the exception of birds of prey and captain man hater.

Suckerpunch was good but sad

[–] Wint3rFir3 (7176) a year ago

Agree, Suckerpunch was quite sad

Dark subject matter but I loved it's stylistic nature and message.

Now THAT was action packed!

[–] AndyKing1967 (38288) a year ago

And a happy ending too.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77491) a year ago

It was explosive, I’d watch a sequel.

I’m not sure what volume they’ve got up to nowadays. All the sequels start looking the same after a while.
