Well that wasn't exactly what I was expecting for the coverart, I don't hate it but Michael Sheen doesn't look anything like himself there lol. On the other hand, the 3-pack art is pretty good.

from the average reviews I was expecting it to be poor but I loved it!
PSP?
i thought Playstation were discontinuing UMD movies? i mean seriously, why the hell would you pay money for a movie you can only watch on a 5-6 inch screen.
and i agree with the rest, terrible cover art but its nice to see official news about a collection of all 3. sure it'll just be the 3movies in a box like the Mummy collection, not some big ass fancy collection but i'm a sucker so i will give in. lol

I stand corrected, shatnerfan. I swore I read it ended differently. I just found the article about Sheen taking it really hard when she left him for Wiseman.
The 3-pack art is pretty dang cool. Can't say the same for the actual film art, but it's ok. I'm just curious as to why they didn't stick with either the Rhona poster or Viktor poster. The previous films stuck mainly to their respective poster arts.

Innnteresting.
Good concept, bad proportions.

For those who have seen this, Is this a good blind buy or should I rent it 1st and wait for the inevitable price drop? I own Part 1 and 2 and was wondering if this tied in very much to the previous movies?
C**PPY ART WORK!! why?????????? come one! aren't there ANY good DVD cover art people (i don't know the exact job title! LOL) out there? why do they insist on giving us LOUSY DVD cover art?
That cover art is the most ridiculous cover art I've seen in a very long time. There's no way a professional made that. The eyes alone make this cover look dumb.
However, I will be buying this great movie.

They announced the third one would be a prequel before the second one came out.
A trilogy set would be nice but I'll definitely pick this up regardless.

I have to agree, the cover art is blah. The original poster art should be used.
Don Jariyasunant, I would say if you enjoyed the first two, you will like this one. In my opinion, this is one of the better prequel treatments I have seen. It fits perfectly into the series. My wife was motivated to see the first two after seeing this one.

gotta say i liked the first two films... let's see where this one takes me
They should have used the original German movie poster:

This CoverArt is a badly changed version. Can't believe some people actually got paid for doing such a c**p work, sorry.

This was a good flick... if you liked the other 2.. you can't help but to like this one as well...
FYI... Bill Nighy made this film.. he was awesome in it..

BEST MOVIE OF THE SERIES! Rhona was amazing and, dare I say it, a much better actress than Kate. I actually felt for her character. 
That artwork is VILE though. They made her look like Kate Beckinsale.
They should've just used the Sonja Poster formatted like the UNDERWORLD:EVOLUTION coverart with a picture of Viktor underneath.

Terrible cover art.
I really liked the movie, not as much as the first too but I'll be picking it up and the trilogy set on blu as well! Sadly I'll also get it on PSP since I own the first two there as well...lol
Weakest of the 3 by far - another case of so much to play with but poorly executed.
god Rhona Mitra is ------- hot
wow they really tried to make Rhona Mitra look like Kate Beckinsale. Probably the worst covert art ive ever seen. THIS NEEDS TO GO
Nice to see that Sony has gotten rid of that annoying "Experience High Definition" banner at the bottom of their Blu-ray covers.
OMG that is hideous cover art.
Does anyone know if the BD of the first UNDERWORLD is the UNRATED CUT?
That is some baaaaad photoshop.
That is some bad artwork, and why is the font gold? Also, they did try waaaay too hard to make whatsherface look like Beckinsale, which is just odd to say the least.
Horrible artwork. WTF is wrong with the poster art of Viktor? Nothing, in fact, it is WAY better than this mess.
Well that revised coverart is certainly much better! I will most likely be buying the blu-ray trilogy set.
Why didn't they put Evolution in the middle on the trilogy cover? Not only would it put the movies in the order they came out from left to right, but Beckinsale's face wouldn't be cut in half and it would look more symmetrical as a whole.

they did the same with the Mummy trilogy blu-ray pack, placed the 3rd movie in the middle.

Terrible cover - the photshop artist must have used the wrong actor instead of Michael Sheen
^ Is that the problem? Because I gotta say, the guy on the coverart looks absolutely nothing like Michael Sheen/Lucian. And what's with Sonja's Barbie Doll stick legs?? And now that I look closer, Sonja doesn't look much like Rhona Mitra either. WTF? 
Artwork aside, though, I'll be getting the movie regardless. I didn't have a chance to see it in the theater, but I really liked the first two, so getting the 3rd is a no-brainer!
