Underworld - not bad - kinda like it

I think this film is designed mostly to look cool :p Dark colours for the right vampire atmosphere, cool dark outfits...
We follow Selene aka Kate Beckinsale, a vampire whose whole life is hunting down lycans aka werewolves. There is a war between lycans and vampires that has been going on for ages, and she strongly believes in it, but when she realizes that the lycans are following a specific human she wants to investigate going against direct orders of her superior, and protects him from them. Ot at least she tries, but not very well. A lycan bites him, and she discovers why he's so important to them, and a secret that is going to change everything for her, because things are not as she thought, and the vampire master Viktor she looked up to as a God is not who she thought he was, and even the war has much more to it than she knew.
We kind of suspect it when she talks about it, because it sounds very much like propaganda, in fact.
Funny how in this film they show us her training with weapons, but in battle it seems she never gets her shot :lol Also it's okay that everything happens at night, but there is noone around, what kind of city is that. I mean, nobody , absolutely noone. No people, no cars around.
SPOILERS ahead :)
This was not difficult to guess, hearing her talking about how the great vampire saved her when lycans murdered all her family, becoming like a parenting figure for her, the flawless master she looks up to. I was already like : such a sweet heart for a vampire, this is not twilight, I don't believe this.
She describes lycans like ferocious beasts that only care for killing innocent people, and that's why the vampires fight them... so the vampires are the righteous heroes??? Come on, you really believe that??
Obviously it turns out she had it all wrong, Viktor lied to her when she was just a baby, and she always believed him and never doubted him, but now she's forced to realized he's a bastard, the worst of all, the one who started this whole war because the lycan's leader Lucien a long time ago had fallen in love with Viktor's daughter. She loved him too, and this started Viktor's wrath. He sentenced her to death, leaving Lucien to watch her die burned by sunlight. Now Lucien's plan is to prove that lycans and vampires can be united, and even if he dies his wish is granted, because the human already changing into werewolf is dying, and to save him Selena bites him too. He doesn't die, on the contrary he becomes much stronger, and able to fight even with Viktor.
The whole truth about how vampires are really the real responsible for the war wasn't a surprise to me, but the love story Viktor's daughter-Lucien kinda was, especially the way they punished them for such a "crime". It was pretty intense, although very brief. In a way, too brief. I know the film is all about being cool and fighting, but a little more heart would have been appreciated.
Lucien should have had a bigger part, more time to show us his emotions.
Of course, they made a prequel just about him, telling all his story, but it's not the same. In this one, he should have had more time!
