Kate Beckinsale in the Underworld series is a goddess. Not so much in her other works.

I think youre a bit biased simply because she is incredibly sexy in the Underworld movies. Cmon, this is a safe place, you can admit she breaks that hotVStalent scale in those movies

Bright was interesting. As mentioned above, the setting is one where I'd like to see more Not-Shadowrun movies.

Here's a quick litmus test. Would you still watch and enjoy the film if the wardrobe wasn't composed almost entirely of leather and latex?

Yes - I thoroughly enjoyed the films even when she was not on screen, same with the Res Evil films.
Certainly better than the recent Star Wars film that was excreted into the cinema.

You say that like the film didn't feature wall-crawling subway-werewolves. As much as we all love Ms. Beckinsale, she did not carry the movie alone.

There was also Sophia Myles 
Agreed its was ultra cool Vampire/Werewolf gothic chic - it looked fantastic, felt right and was great fun.
Vampires have been cool and sexy for more than a hundred years and show no sign of becoming less so.
Plus Kate suffered for her work - she got pneumonia shooting that film (its in the rather fun movie commentary with her and her then husband, she archly comments to him on Sophia taking her top off (cut scene) and why she wasn't there, he said oh that was when you were in hospital or something similar!)

There were werewolves in that movie?
Heh, I didn't notice. Do you think she could wear tighter leather in the next one? Is tighter leather even possible? I hope so.....

Underworld was the "Best shiny-arse movie" of the year (it was up against "the matrix" but Kate wore the suit better.)
Without the tight PVC and leather, it would be just another Vampire:the masquerade rpg session. (Not that I'm implying that they *homaged* the game, Sony winning that frivolous lawsuit showed that)

They didn't rip off White Wolf lore anymore than they did Anne Rice's vampire stories. Those two settings have much more in common with each other than with Underworld.

I wasn't claiming they did "rip off" V: tM.
A lot of WW fanboys, however, DID do that sort of thing when the movie came out.
I liked the game and the background, I just couldn't stand most of the "Tragically hip" d*cks that played it. The game and the movie probably share the same inspirations - in much the same way that Firefly and Traveller did (Joss Whedon DID play Traveller a lot during his college years ... explains why the show was so lame, really. )
Let's not speak of AR. Her writing wasn't very good at the best of times.
