Van Helsing

MckDawg04 · May 2, 2005

I recently saw Van Helsing and thought it was an excellent movie. The special effects and CGI were awesome.

What did you guys think of it? CYa!

I didn't much care for the movie. It was just- I don't know what the word is for it...I think that it could have been a lot shorter than it was and it would have been just as good. It just seemed to stretched out and long...

i thought it was done very well, and Hugh Jackman did an awesome job. great movie.

It sure appealed to my sense of humour: I saw it on holiday & we had a long drive back to base, thru deserted countryside @ night...

I thought it had a lot of potential but I didn't care much for it. Special effects were great but I must be old fashioned, I don't care much for changes to the original myths. Underground was a really good vampire/werewolf movie. Nice job on the story of that one.

I thought the CGI was amazing, but it isn't the best movie out there. I would watch it again if I had the chance though.

I didn't really care for it. Of course, the first half of the movie, some 300-pound guy kept turning around and whispering, then yelling, at us to stop kicking his chair - something that wasn't happening. Eventually, he and his significant other (who was a bit angry with him) got up and left. I like to compare the movie to Hellboy, which I thought was more entertaining.

I enjoyed Van Helsing as a kind of spoof actually. Frankly I don't think the tone was dark enough to be taken seriously. Now, Bram Stoker's Dracula, aside from Winona and Keanu's unconvincing accents, it was pure vampire poetry. Van Helsing isn't even in the same ball park. But in a Tomb Raider-Mortal Combat kind of way, Van Helsing was quite entertaining.

That was because of Gary Oldman, and how well he played that part.

I thought it was a great movie. I thought it was terrific for someone who can expand their mind and use their imagination. I like old legends and stories. I thought the visuals were great. The vampires were very realistic. HJ done an excellent job.

I thought the movie was great. My Mom and Dad bought it for me.

What part has Gary Oldman not played well?

True. He is a wonderful actor.

I thought it was a terrible movie. The opening black & white scene was great, but everything after that was rubbish. It was as if they'd decided to conduct an experiment to see how many Hollywood cliches they could pack into a single movie.

I thought it was a fair movie. The things I hated was 1.) how they turned Van Helsing from an old country doctor to a kick butt monster tracker. 2.) How they showed Mr. Hyde. In 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', Hyde is younger and small than Jekyll. Not some HUGE gorilla size man.

worst movie eva.....well maybe not the worst but it was so cheesy.....that scene were she's swinging and catches the vial in her hand....oh man I was laughing at that....soooo brutal....but whatever, different strokes for different folks

Sword-In-Hand · May 6, 2005

I liked the movie. I was glad of the fact they changed Van Helsing from an old man to a monster basher, and I liked the other changes to the old monsters. There was a cheese factor to it, but it was a good movie that I now own.

Finally saw Van Helsing.It was ok~some effects were good but I mainly wanted to see it because of Hugh.I want him on an Avatar!! he is so handsome,he leaves me

exactly-kind of like watching a video game as he combats one foe after another.I was less impressed than I'd hoped but also had some good wows and cool scenes
