My primary motivation for seeing both movies is Kate Beckinsale. So I have no problem with focusing on Selene. On the plus side, we get to see more of her (didn't have the presence of mind to check if the shots allowed for a double). On the minus, no variation in her outfits (that was not in quick flashback) -- just that one really good one.

Funny bit with her more-excessive-than-usual gunfire into that one werewolf near the very end.

I did particularly like her tearing up when
Spoiler:
she discovers that she can be in sunlight. So I guess this opens the door for the third installment, where she kicks ass in the daytime. Perhaps in a bikini?


I was mildly disappointed with the first one, so going into this with diminished expectations, it was fine. I'm not sure if the level of gore was supposed to be comical, but I (and others in the audience) took at as such, and enjoyed it.

One thing that seemed odd was the complete lack of werewolves except for one of the main villians (only for a short time) and some guard dog stuff.
There were all the ones at the beginning, and at the end,
Spoiler:
when the strike team all get turned because they were bitten by William.
Dispatched fairly quickly, though.

As for Corvinus
Spoiler:
he tells Markus that they're an oddity of nature or something. So I guess that means he just happens to be immortal, and his sons that were bitten could become the first of their species. And the one that was not bitten can pass down the magic gene to Michael; I'm not sure if the third died of natural causes or not.


What could potentially happen with
Spoiler:
a child of Michael, the vampyre/lycan hybrid, and Selene, blessed with the blood Corvinus? When she asked Corvinus what she would turn into, my thought was, "Will I still be so unreasonably hot?" Of course, if transforming into a creature would cause her to burst out of her outfit, that might not be too bad when she changes back.
