Van Helsing

I like this movie, Kate Beckinsale is hot. This movie was not scary though

In a word...SUCKED.

It was ok.

NOT BAD

i actually like this, dont know why

Hugh Jackman!

Not scary, but I liked it

LOVE

not too bad...i really like hugh jackman so its a good movie to me!

yay

I wasn't aware that was a horror movie..

I didn't find it to be a horror movie. VERY entertaining and pretty darn funny

Action-horror flick with lots of special effects. Zips right along. Worth a rental.

it was ok

Not at all scary but still a good movie.

Not a horror movie. It's just another action flick pretender.

again, dint scare me...but acting, plot line, Hugh Jackman..... ;)

Not really a horror movie, but I love it anyway!

A must pretty good mix of monsters and action.

Didn't see it and didn't need to...those that did told me they were disappointed.

It has some good looking women, but is a fairly tired reworking of Dracula, Frankenstein, Transylvania and other familiar haunts. Dracula hunting for the folk who like video games.

Pedestrian trash, with bad special effects. 

The special effects weren't all that great, but it was an entertaining movie.

The women in it were hot enough.

Effects were pretty poor, and the acting was terrible. Not hammy, just terrible. For a good laugh, get this, a case of cheap Belgian lagers, and follow it up with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Great Movie

I watched it because Hugh was in it, but was a bit disappointed by how it turned out. It wasn't terrible, but it really wasn't anything worth bragging about either.

oh yeah, anything with hugh in it has got to be good. and this one is.

this is an action adventure movie but its not horror it has vampires in it but its an big hollywood summer movie

A the Dracula story once again has been taken to the big screen with some new twists. The Mr Hyde fight should have been left on the cutting room floor as it looked silly and did not really add the plot. Nice effects but a plot that we all know and is there for some what predictable. Hugh Jackman does a nice job and he far out shines his supporting cast. Worth a look at the DVD.

Van Helsing was sexy. Dracula was sexy. Mr. Hyde was vaguely familiar. This was a good movie.

I like mindless FUN action movies but this movie wasn't fun..it was just minldess and boring. The plot is ridiculous, the CGI was overused and the action and sound was so mind numbingly relentless I was hoping for some truly scary parts but none came, the charcters are flat and unintersting and the dialogue is terrible So you're the great Van Helsing says Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde And you're a deranged psycho says Van Helsing ...good comeback. The ending was so disappointing, after the movie was finished I felt nothing, just like I had wasted my money to see a bunch of minldess overdone action pieces and CGI. I like mindless action but I atleast deserve characters that I have some care about and a plot a little less ridiculous. Rental only...discount rental.

This movie put me in mind of all of the horror flicks that I loved as a kid. It's a B-Movie genre and I loved it. Though it's not for everyone, you really have to appreciate the art form here. I would watch it over and over and over.

Saw this movie three times. It is lots of fun and the Werewolf is great! Highly recommend if you like Vampires and Werewolfs.

I liked it. But it's not the best movie in the world.

oooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I think many people missed the intended feel of the movie. They misunderstood that the film was supposed to be corny and far-fetched as a sort of throwback to classic monster flicks. In this day and age where most movies like this strive for as much realism as possible, I think this attempt threw people and that's why its received such bad reviews here. I'm not saying its fantastic, mind you but it wasn't the worst either. Hugh Jackman is solidifies his hero/action hero status with charm and ease. Kate Beckinsale was ill-fitted for her role and that accent was almost painful. A shining point of the movie was David Wenham as Carl. He was utterly amusing and practically saved many dull parts of the film. The special effects were blase and the storyline was weak. Despite all this, I still found it enjoyable and not nearly as bad as I had expected.

The most enjoyable part of this movie (besides Hugh Jackman baring his chest -- yum) was David Wenham (previously Faramir in the LOTR series) as the friar. He provided comic relief in a movie that dragged and showed a different facet to his acting ability that I was unfamiliar with. I usually love Kate Beckinsale, but her accent was deplorable -- then again, the men in the theater were staring more at her bustline than actually listening to what she was saying, anyway. Hugh Jackman was good as the title character, but the corny-factor of the ending almost had me crying in agony. A few good action sequences, good humor, otherwise -- forget it.

Very entertaining film! Great special effects and action. Hugh Jackman is becoming a good actor. Some corny, far-fetched parts brought it down a bit though.

To be fair, House of the Dead was the worst movie I've ever seen, follwed by Club Dread . . . but Van Helsing, disappointingly, is still pretty low on the list. So many great concepts and mostly good special effects, but it couldn't save it from the painfully bad script and the horrible cliche' s (I mean, come on, the misunderstood hero with amnesia? And the final embrace between Van Helsing and Anna looked like it was ripped from a dollar-store romance novel cover? How about the hero riding off into the sunset? Yeah, it's from a comic book, and of course you have to account for some degree of cheesiness because sometimes it just doesn't translate as nicely into movie form, but hell, this was pretty bad). It all went downhill from the beginning. I was cracking up at the end, but I don't think it was intended to be a comedy. With so much to work with, with so many possibilities, they could have come up with something better than that. 2 stars is generous.

This is a fantastic movie!!! Great special effects, lovable and funny characters and a real adventure ride. Hugh Jackman is brilliant as Van Helsing, and Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous and sexy as always. All up it's a movie experience, must see on the big screen. You will enjoy it from the beginning to the end, I promise!
