At least the don't sparkle.

We saw Underworld Awakening on the weekend. Not bad. Not great, but definitely not a waste of Pen's my money.

I think what struck me the most is the human conceit that should we ever go to war with the vampires we would easily eradicate them. Really? They move so fast that it might as well be teleportation, they can bench press an Escalade, and you have to kill them just right or it doesn't take. Not only that, but they can jump like Roos on crack!

Most military people I know have enough trouble hitting a stationary target at 100 meters, never mind one that can move faster than you can blink. And so what if vampires have to hole up during the day? It's not like you can tell them apart from us at a glance--at least not the Underworld vampires. I'm pretty sure once we started offing them during the daylight they would quickly bring the war to us at night, and not go to ground and try to hide. One night of a full-on vamp attack would probably decimate most of our military.

Of course this is the movies, so apparently the vampires are only superhuman when it suits the plot.
