Variety
Overall package is potent. A few rock-the-house scenes of slam-bang derring-do -- are nothing short of sensationally exciting. - 63
TV Guide Magazine
True to its serial roots, this equally silly but undeniably entertaining sequel to "Underworld" (2003) picks up right where its high-grossing predecessor left off and offers more of the same. - 42
The A.V. Club
There's a ton of backstory behind Underworld: Evolution, which gets slightly denser and rowdier than its predecessor, but it's ultimately all in the service of a nigh-endless series of numbing, mechanical battles in which snarling protagonists and CGI monsters shoot, claw, and bloodily eviscerate each other. In other words, it's "Underworld," but more of it. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Unfortunately, there's little wit or genuine suspense to elevate the proceedings above the level of a cheesy comic book. - 40
Salon
The plot is so convoluted that missing even five minutes at a stretch won't make any difference in your comprehension of the story. - 30
The New York Times
The fascist undercurrents of this battle remain unexplored. Maybe one day, Hollywood will figure out that pouring acting-challenged starlets into black neoprene and sticking them in front of a blue screen do not a movie make. We can but hope. - 25
New York Daily News
The esteemed actor Derek Jacobi goes slumming as someone who pulls that metal badge from the chest of a cadaver. Shakespeare it's not. - 25
New York Post
Underworld Evolution has antecedents in literature ("Dracula"), film ("The Matrix") and song ("Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue"). How does it rip off so much, yet learn so little?
