a delay in the actual detachment-I don't know which film did it first but Tarentine did it way better), the effects editor overlooked the need to show a slice in the head before it topples off. Similar to the way Tarentino dispatched Lucy Lie in "Kill Bill Vol.1" (i.e. Along with too much aggressive confusion is the silliest head-splitting in cinema history. If you compare the opening subway sequence to the train station sequence in "The Untouchables", you see an illustration of why less is better and "Underworld" expends more ammo for less effect than anything this side of a "Godzilla" film. Although the small action scenes work very well, the more elaborate scenes are disjointed, confused, and somewhat silly.
But I can see many of the problems others have pointed out. Personally I enjoyed this film more than any high budget "mainstream movie" I have seen in years years. The "Underworld" sequel will soon be out so now is a good time to revisit the original.
