Movie Reviews of Van Helsing (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: rubbish.....
Summary: 1 Stars
... simply put......... rubbish.
The amount of Money spent on this film....... decadently sickening!
The Script....... flawed, flat, numb.
The Direction........ Lame!!!!!
The actors....... tried hard to save it! but failed miserably!
The Computer FX.......... beyond woeful! ....this stretchy, movement blur thing is ruining all the reality of film - give me practical fx anyday! ...you losers who enjoy this green screen fake reality - go play a COMPUTER GAME! Films were meant to be real - sets - locations - special effects = aimed to extend our perception of reality - not this lifeless, dull, gamer orientated rubbish which upon conclusion, really just ends up being disrespectful to the old horror masters they tried to impress!
If someone aims to HOMAGE the classic HORROR films of the golden age of horror - for godsake don't sell out like these fakers....
go buy the original classics and put this where it belongs.... the bin!
Summary of Van Helsing (Widescreen Edition)
Legendary monster hunter van helsing is summoned to mysterious transylvania on a mission that will thrust him into a sweeping battle against the forces of darkness! Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 09/18/2007 Starring: Hugh Jackman Kate Beckinsale Run time: 132 minutes Rating: PgLike a roller coaster ready to fly off its rails, Van Helsing rockets to maximum velocity and never slows down. Having earned blockbuster clout with The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, writer-director Stephen Sommers once again plunders Universal's monster vault and pulls out all the stops for this mammoth $148-million action-adventure-horror-comedy, which opens (sans credits) with a terrific black-and-white prologue that pays homage to the Universal horror classics that inspired it. The plot pits legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) against Dracula (the deliciously campy Richard Roxburgh), his deadly blood-sucking brides, and the Wolfman (Will Kemp) in a two-hour parade of outstanding special effects (980 in all) that turn Sommers' juvenile plot into a triple-overtime bonus for CGI animators. In alliance with a Transylvanian princess (Kate Beckinsale) and the Frankenstein monster (Shuler Hensley), Van Helsing must prevent Dracula from hatching his bat-winged progeny, and there's so much good-humored action that you're guaranteed to be thrilled and exhausted by the time the 10-minute end-credits roll. It's loud, obnoxious, filled with revisionist horror folklore, and aimed at addicted gamers and eight-year-olds, but this colossal monster mash (including Mr. Hyde, just for kicks) will never, ever bore you. A sequel is virtually guaranteed. --Jeff Shannon
