Movie Reviews of Hellsing Ultimate, Vol. 4
Movie Review: War games are fun
Summary: 5 Stars
The Good Things
*Excellent video/sound quality.
*This version of "Hellsing" has excellent imagery and graphics. It includes a lot of computer-generated-imagery, but none of it looks too hoaky or out-of-place. It is definately high quality animation.
*Excellent amount of bloody action. Some of the scenes in this volume are downright awesome. Also includes a few comical moments.
*Storyline is great. It is close to the original manga. It has also accelerated in momentum, thrusting the whole Millennium Group story arc into the saga in a way that is very revealing and cohesive.
*Characters are splendid. All of the main characters are still great. The characters of the Millennium group are now introduced, and are a very interesting group to watch. The main enemy in this one (Rip Van Wrinkle) is fun to watch (although she doesn't put up much of a fight against Alucard).
*Some good lines throughout.
*Funky music (although I think the music in the old "Hellsing" show was better).
The Bad Things
*Not for the sqeamish; contains lots of bloody violence and swearing (rated TV-MA).
*A lot of stuff is packed into a single hour. As fast and condensed as everything is, it may be seen as overly compressed with not enough exposition.
The Other Things
*If you buy the single-disc version, you get little or no special features. The two-disc steelbook edition (although more expensive) includes a small wealth of interviews, textless credit scenes, a karaoke version of the major's speech (which was pretty darn long), and probably some other stuff.
This volume is probably one of the best in the series so far. The action scenes are incredible, and the whole episode is fun to watch (except maybe the end, with the major's super-long monologue). Above all, they finally introduce a cast of interesting characters that had never been seen before (except in the manga), and they are great to watch. It is clear now that "Hellsing Ultimate" is not just another serious vampire shooting spree; it's a whole lot of fun. A definate must-buy for those already into the series.
Summary of Hellsing Ultimate, Vol. 4
Sir Integra reluctantly invites Maxwell from the Vatican?s Iscariot Division to a Roundtable conference with the Queen. Integra desperately needs to collect any information regarding the Millennium, the remnants of a secret Nazi battalion made entirely of "undead" monsters. Suddenly, the Millennium?s leader, the Major, audaciously interrupts the conference to declare war against Britain and the Hellsing Organization. Amidst the panicking Roundtable members, Arucard seems completely amused by the reunion with the Major, whom he thought he has destroyed more than half a century ago. He puts a bullet through the emissary?s forehead as he replies to the Major, "I can?t wait to destroy you again!" ?A war of Nightmares is about to be unleashed into the unsuspecting London nightSimilar DVD Movies
