Van Helsing

Lazzaro · 10th May 2004, 12:50 PM

Saw it last night, nothing groundbreaking, effects are a bit overdone, but I liked it

The Ledger · 11th May 2004, 07:44 PM

I quite like the look of that film, it looks like i would be really entertaining the whole way through, unlike films which can become very boring, but you still want to watch it to se what happens at the end!

you are mistaken, i saw it with andy, i thought it was shit to be honest.

I've heard nothing but bad things about this film.

A friend of mine said that if you've seen the trailer then don't bother going to see it because you've already seen all the good bits.

saw it on saturday.. there was no plot to speak of but the special effects were great. Scept a couple of the cgi werewolf bits were kind of cartoony. Twas better than the league of extraordinary gentlemen, but only just..

Thought it was alright - nothin special. Hugh Jackman must love the wolf type roles though.

i went to see this movie tonight and im still in two minds about it.

although like alison said there was no plot at all to speak of at all but the special effects were brilliant

i thought this film was pretty crap for the first hour it was boring as fuck but then it started getting better but it also was really god dam predictable nothing surprising in the whole movie, if u want to go see this movie you should go in and let your mind go blank (try not to fall asleep at the start) also the fact that they made (what sounds like) Dr Jeckle/Mr Hyde sound scottish...some of the specail effects were good at least there was a differant way of turning into a warewolf...i dunno about them mentto be making a sequel but i think (well what i've heard) they are going to be making a t.v. series about van helsing because they didn't want to tear down any of the sets that were built because they were too good to be deystroyed, in the tv series they are only basing it around the charector van helsing and not using any of the same actors...apparently
