What to Know

Critics Consensus

Underworld: Blood Wars delivers another round of the stylized violence that the series is known for, but -- like many fifth franchise installments -- offers precious little of interest to the unconverted.

Underworld: Blood Wars | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tara Brady Irish Times Over the years, the Underworld franchise has steadily evolved into the Attack of the Sexy Halloween Costumes. Rated: 2/5 Jan 17, 2017 Full Review Underworld: Blood Wars | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Kim Newman Empire Magazine The weakest entry in a generally mediocre franchise. Rated: 1/5 Jan 16, 2017 Full Review Underworld: Blood Wars | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Wendy Ide Observer (UK) This slick, violent but insubstantial picture will sate existing fans but has little chance of connecting with new ones.

William B This didn't really live up to expectations, but it was a good send-off to the series. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Casa N Yawn boring not worth a second watch. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Audience Member I watched in 2024 for the first time, this is a masterpiece! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Sérgio N Realmente foi só mais um na franquia (e ainda bem, o último). Não tem mais motivações o suficiente pra se sustentar e só mesmo o rostinho bonito da Selene e uma ou outra cena de ação é que salva. De resto é mais do mesmo, com quase nada de que vá se lembrar depois de uma meia dúzia de outros filmes. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Justin T I'm going to warn you that this is a subjective review, I'm just not interested in the world they built in the previous films and will be reviewing it accordingly. I found all of the characters really uninteresting and they are all the same, moody and humourless devoid of personality. The action and fighting has no danger or style or time to breathe which makes it boring to watch. Every conflict is quickly resolved without any real reason or impact. I'm actually going to single out the music as generic and often out of place making an already creatively bankrupt film somehow worse. I know there is a market for this kind of film but I can't help but think how much of a waste of money it is when they could have told an original story with the same amount of mindless action. I didn't like the sound design. The editing though I actually liked, they made the best of a bad film. Most of the film looks like they made it entirely in a studio but at least the special effects are good. When everyone double crosses everyone else it is not interesting or shocking, it's just bad melodrama. The final fight is actually okay but not worth watching the rest of the film for. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Zia M I enjoyed the movie and the series. I just wish that got to see more about the daughter and to see if Michael really survived. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
