| Who here has seen Van Helsing? |
|
Okay...not the best movie but some good special effects...
My greatest disappointment was the fact that Hugh Jackman had too much clothing on for most of the movie... :evilgrin:
Biggest problem with the movie...the "over the top acting" for most of it...In fact halfway through the movie I figured out the monk sidekick was the guy who played Faramir in LOTR...and that was a bit unsettling for me...don't know why but it was..

| 1. I wouldn't rate it a thumb up (or down). Maybe a finger.... |
|
The scenery was good, and the graphics were so-so. But the acting was *crap*
Speaking of crap, hasn't anyone in Hollywood heard of PLOT? And why do they f*ck up the stories of Baron Van Helsing and Vlad Dracula so much?

| 2. A Plot would require an attention span...and that doesn't seem |
|
to be an asset in Hollywood or anywhere in the media...
I am not so sure why Vlad Dracula and Van Helsing are so appealing...personally I think I could write some good scripts and just rip off stories from other far more exciting historical events...kind of like Shakespeare...

| 3. The FX were awesome but what I didn't like about |
|
the movie is that there was very little character development. As I watched the movie, I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters.
Well, Hugh Jackman is hot.

| 7. Here's your explination (SPOILER) |
|
Van Helsing is the "left hand of Gd" and is therefore immortal. This is how he remembers a war fought in 73 AD.
In the original story of Van Helsing, he is the Baron Van Helsing and winds up killing Vald Dracul (Count Dracula)
