Yeah yeah, I know it came out four years ago but the movie is damn awesome. I couldn't help but watch it twice today (I'm watching it for the second time right now).

I believe that alongside "Underworld," "Van Helsing" ranks among the best vampire/werewolf movies. I felt that the plot was very intricate and deeper than what you get in a lot of these types of movies now adays. The acting was just superb. I am among the lot that think Kate's accent was a bit annoying at times, but she's a great actress, and is the hottest woman alive, so it doesn't bother me as much. Richard Roxburgh's Dracula surpassed Bela Lugosi's (don't flame me, it's my opinion), but in the end both were superb, and the best versions of the character's I've seen (I haven't seen Oldman or Lee's version, so I can't judge their job yet). I don't even believe I ahve to speak on Jackman's job as Van Helsing, he's pretty much awesome in everything.

Well, I wanted to create this thread for general discussion of the film since I tried searching for an already existing thread and could not find one. I want to see what you all think of the film, so post away.

One of the very worst films I have ever seen.

Meh, thought it was alright.

I kind of feel that this film gets quite a bit of flak that it doesn't deserve. All-star cast, incredible effects, intricate story...what more do people want?

You didn't just say that? *clicks the ignore option*

Yep, I sure did, and I stand by it. I also stand by what I said earlier: Richard Roxburgh's Dracula has Lugosi's beat. 131

Not a fan, pretty poor movie.

Kate Beckinsale looked awesome, though.

Why do you consider it a poor movie (curious)?

I liked Van Helsing..

Had the right amount of CGI effects and good acting

Movie sucked, had some cheesy entertainment value, but it sucked nonetheless.

I found Van Helsing to be a decent movie.

The CGI was good, and acting were ok. Kate Beckinsale looked great.


But I wouldn't go as far as say Roxburgh played a better Dracula than Lugosi.

It's all a matter of opinion.

Better than the brothers grim i always say

Lame story, lame execution, too crowded.

I don't wanna say unrealistic, but it wasn't believable. The actors didn't do well enough to suck me in and make me believe it.

The idea was a bit of a rip off of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen anyways, as such I kinda liked it. But as AC said, poorly executed.

The date upon which I registered has nothing to do with anything.

Moving on, I was looking at the special features on the disc and I was really impressed with how much work went into making the creatures. Hands down some of the best CGI I've seen yet.

Did anyone ever watch that animated movie they did, Is it anygood ?

Actually it is, I watched it a few months ago on Youtube.

Na. You can have the opinion that Van Helsing is better than Fight Club; it would certainly be your opinion. It would be a shitty opinion though, as fact.

No one on this Earth should think that way. And please stop with all this "shitty opinion" crap. You sound like an idiot.

Think which way?

It's true though, all opinions are not created equal; this is a fact. Don't throw a hisy-fit because you happen to have bad taste in movies, it's not a critical flaw.

Bad taste in movies? Son, people are allowed to like whatever movies they want. You need to stop believing you are so intelligent, because from the posts I've seen from you 'round here, you are literally dumb as shit.

Ah, look, it gets upset. Obviously people are allowed to like whichever movie, that was never in question, try and follow along.

Stating facts is 'believing you're intelligent?' Okay, champ. Anyhow, you do have shit taste in movies, from loving Van Helsing to your boyish fascination with the Underwold series; it's okay though.

Also, I wouldn't call anyone else stupid, considering the threads you've made, just an FYI.

Edit: DaJoker, is that you again, you stupid and cantankerous little ****? It is, isn't it.

I'm allowed to be fascinated with any movie I want, there's no such thing as having shit taste.

This is my first time on this site, and I'd rather it be a pleasurable experience, so if you have problems with me, put me on ignore.

its a cool film and has a great cast

I love the film and all, but I do wish at times it had more of a scare factor. If anyone else ever tackles Van Helsing in this manner, they should go for more of a scary movie.

I like how they did Frankenstien in the film.
But it seemed to drag on way too long

I think it was probably meant to drag on a little, because there was a lot in there story wise, and one big adventure.

That's called bad story-line and poor directing/editing.
