In my opinion, Underworld is by far the best fantasy movie of the 21st century. Since the newest installment to the series was just released, I figured it would be a great starting point for my posts. The order of the movies in the series is as follows:
Underworld: released September 19, 2003
Underworld: Evolution: released January 20, 2006
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans: released January 23, 2009
Underworld: Awakened: released January 20, 2012
A great source for information about the Underworld Series is http://underworld.wikia.com/wiki/Underworld_Wiki even though this site can be edited by anyone, it allows you to gain insight into the series. Two of the main characters that appear in this series are:
Selene: Selene is the protagonist in three of the movies. She was turned into a Vampire by Viktor after her entire family was massacred. After six centuries of hunting down lycans to avenge her family, she learns that Viktor had killed her family to cover up the tomb that imprisons William (the first Lycan). Selene later falls in love with Michael Corvin, the first hybrid (both vampire and lycan), who is a descended of Alexander Corvinus, the father of both races. In Underworld: Awakened, Selene is held captive for 12 years by the humans and after being freed she finds out that she and Michael have a daughter, Eve.
Michael Corvin: Michael is a human descendant of Alexander Corvinus. He was hunted down by lycans because they believed that his bloodline would allow for the perfect combination of the lycan and vampire traits to transform him into the first hybrid. With Selene’s help, they were able to defeat both surviving elders, Viktor and Marcus. After several years of hiding, Michael and Selene were captured by the humans while trying to flee the country. We were lead to believe that he was killed in pursuit, however, at the end of Underworld: Awakened we learn the truth!
