Underworld Rise of the lycans - it's the prequel so we know how it ends

If you have watched Underworld before this, you already know what Lucien story is. They told it very briefly in the first movie, as a shocking surprise (intended to be), because things weren't exactly how our protagonist thought they were, and in this movie we see again Viktor, and we follow all Lucien story, from birth to the moment the war between lycans and vampires started.
It's a nice film, good effects, and I like the Lucien character, but of course there are no surprises of any kind because we know where they're going, we know what started the war, we know whose fault it was.
Anyway, I enjoyed it enough, not too much but enough. The dark colours created the right atmosphere and the fights were fun to watch.
A film I might watch again, if it so happens, but it wouldn't be among my first choices...
