yes bill was in it and he died in the second one I wouldn't be surprised if he was going to be in another one later on though because lucien stabbed im through the head in the new one and he still survived
I don't know if this needs spoilers, so I'll use them just to be safe.
Selene lobbed off half of Viktor's head at the end of the first movie; it was seen in the second movie as well, but only as a flashback. The second movie picked up right where the first movie ended, which is why his body is still deliciously fresh when Corvinus carves into it. Also,
in the first movie, when Selene is ransacking the library, she comes across a book containing what she calls the 'branded skin, cut from Lucian's very arm.' In this movie, Lucian has no branded skin on either arm, or anywhere that can be easily seen. This is a pretty blatant plot hole.Anyway, I also watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and, aside from laughing hilariously at most of the performances (I'm looking at you, Bill Nighy) I kind of enjoyed it. The director tried to stay true to the darker cinematography of the first movie but, in some cases, it was just too dark and I couldn't see what the heck was going on. Honestly, it was way better than I expected it to be, but I should have waited for it to come out on DVD rather than rushing to the theatre to see it.
I also saw Inkheart today, the story of Mo (played ridiculously by Brendan Fraser) who can make things come to life by reading aloud from books. He discovered this power while reading his daughter a story and, in doing so, accidentally called out a fire-throwing dude and some bad guys who have since settled in a castle in Italy. Unfortunately, while 'reading' these people out of the book, Mo traps his wife (Jill Valentine from the RE movie)inside the book so now Mo is out to find a copy of the book to save his wife. It sounds really silly but this movie was far better than I expected. That being said, it's definitely aimed at kids. Capricorn, the main bad guy, made Swiper the Fox look like Al Capone and I really could have done without flying monkies. On the up side, Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren were well-cast and Paul Bettany did a good job with the material he was given. My sister the bookworm was so polite to point out that the source material for this movie, a book also called Inkheart, was far better than the movie. All in all, I think it's a decent kids/young adult adventure fantasy film, but it's probably worth waiting on it to arrive on DVD. Or just read the book, as I'm about to start doing.
