    The
    characters  in the film are computer-animated animals which are made very very well so  it is very realist.The film has action between the villans and the sherif.

  1. My favorite film is "Underworld the Rise of the Lycans" because is a story of a war between the vampires and the lycans (werewolves). The vampires have captured many of the lycans and the rest of the lycans have to rescue them.There are four films about the "Underworld". My favorite film of them is the third one. It's different because this takes place in the middle age. The other films are not in the middle age. The soundtrack of the four films is rock and I like it too. I also really enjoy the battles between the werewolves and the vampires.

Very good work
