Even knowing what was going to happen (it was a prequel, after all), I still found it quite enjoyable. As for storyline, well star-crossed lovers has been a standard plot for quite some time.
Personally I think Underworld and Day/Night Watch are completely different movies. One is really an action with horror tropes (and an excuse to get Kate Beckinsale in a latex body suit or the little black dress), whilst the other is much more of the gothic horror school mixed with a good dose of Russian fatalism. Apart from both having vampires, I don't really see the comparison at all.
