It's a pretty good movie. Van Helsing uses those normal guns more that I thought he would and the spinning blades were there but they werent made a big deal out of.

But the cross bow kinda was and the first battle in the town square was far too tedious and gave me this feeling like Van Helsing was some sort of ammature...

Eigor was kinda funny too.

I could have done without some of the cheesey acrobatics though.....
I mean come on...there humans! Theyre not Spider-Man!

Frankenstien was great on the plus side. And Dracula was pretty cool.

Oh, And I wan't Van Helsing's outfit!

Monkey D. arucard - May 12, 2004 03:25 PM (GMT)
Yeah his outfit was pretty cool. Eigor was kinda strange.
Over all it was a good movie.

What about the "Wolf man"? How were the werewolves treated?

Will it piss me off?? *the way they treat the werewolves?

Abbatoir - May 12, 2004 07:26 PM (GMT)
Werewolves are the best. They're a lot better than vampires.

I love his gear, such as is crossbow which fires out hundresd of arrows all at once! His style of fighting e.t.c. And having the idea of having, dracula,frankinstiens monster, and the wolf man all in one film.

youv just seen the adverts, havent you anubis?

Abbatoir - May 13, 2004 05:54 PM (GMT)
I bet he has! I'm not going to watch this. I'm probably just negative but I just don't like the idea of it. Werewolves, Vampires AND Frankenstein's monster?!?!? It seems tacky to me...

fuzzy dice - May 13, 2004 05:58 PM (GMT)
come on abbs. tacky movies are great, you can giggel at the bad models or obvious computer edits. they are the best kind.. the ones that are full of pot holes, and too crammed to make sence.

Wow, you just summed up a couple of scenes.

The WereWolves were cool, in fact...

[spoiler]WereWolves were the only things that could kill Dracula, but that was his little secret. Oh, and I believe they reallt messed up who Van Helsing is....it implys he's an angel who was sent down to earth to destroy evil....Dracula even called him "Gabriel" and "The left hand of God".... Although it was cool in it's own way...oh and the way they swung around on the things at the end....argh...how corny and unrealistic....[/spoiler]


Abbatoir - May 13, 2004 06:13 PM (GMT)
Another reason for me to not watch it.
They changed his name from Abraham to Gabriel. And also the thing Cutman mentions which completely contradicts Dracula.
I think this guy who made the movie had heard of Van Helsing but only knew he was a monster hunter...

what!! what happened to the garlic, and the stake in the heart??

Abbatoir - May 13, 2004 06:19 PM (GMT)
Exactly. All the classics are killed in favour of crossbows and spinning blades! Again!

Wrongo, it says that NOTHING can kill him...he sticks a stake in his heart...he pulled it out he gave him a cross....it burned him but he destroyed it...

Not accurate but some aspects of it were kinda cool.

Oh..and his brides were obnoxious!

Abbatoir - May 13, 2004 06:35 PM (GMT)
Isn't that what they're for?

CutMan - May 13, 2004 11:45 PM (GMT)
No no....you've got it wrong...not only are they annoying as hell....theyre bad actress's too.

They pretty much ruined the movie if you ask me....

Zanders - May 14, 2004 05:26 AM (GMT)
Very true...His brides were the worst actors in the movie

Monkey D. arucard - May 14, 2004 01:35 PM (GMT)
Weren't vampires suposed to turn into vampire bats? [spoiler]In the movie they looked more like gargoyls

Abbatoir - May 14, 2004 01:37 PM (GMT)
Another attempt to thrill us by destroying the classics...

Zanders - May 14, 2004 04:34 PM (GMT)
I was cheering every time one died

Abbatoir - May 14, 2004 06:47 PM (GMT)
Thank you!

fuzzy dice - May 18, 2004 09:27 AM (GMT)
iv now seen the movie.does anyone know why the usual things couldnt hurt dracula? they didnt say why a stake couldnt kill him.

Abbatoir - May 18, 2004 09:28 AM (GMT)
That's a massive error. I'm even less likely to watch it now.

Zanders - June 7, 2004 05:22 AM (GMT)
They changed it and said that only a ware wolf could kill him

fuzzy dice - June 7, 2004 11:36 AM (GMT)
dodgy.

CutMan - June 7, 2004 10:12 PM (GMT)
Yeah, sure is.

Zanders - June 8, 2004 02:41 AM (GMT)
And the beginning scene with Eigor was way too cheesy for me

"Your good to me master but he pays me"
