Title: Van Helsing
Post by: Uranium - 235 on May 16, 2004, 08:28:14 PM
(http://www.fearless.blogger.com.br/ninjas.gif)

Figure A.

A ninja (actually two ninjas, so it's like double the awesome). A ninja who may or may not have chopped off heads. I'm not sure. I just got a picture and ran like hell.

Figure B.

A guitar. On fire. The guitar could be playing like Jimi Hendrix too. Or Led Zepplin.

(http://www.dupagecountyfair.org/photo_gallery/photos/corn.jpg)

Figure C.

Corn. Ignore the fat kid eating it. Or orally molesting it. I'm not sure what the innuendo there is. Or don't ignore him. This is important. The corn is. Not the fat kid.

(http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/images/berliner/br4.jpg)

Figure D.

I don't know what this thing is, but it's got a fat guy next to a tall guy. I think they're nazis. I'm not sure. It really has nothing to do with the movie, I guess, I just thought it was funny. So it's here. But he's fat and there's a fat kid above it and fat people fall down and chase donuts, or so I'm told.

(http://www.adventureinc.net/images/karen/pics_kc_001.jpg)

Figure E.

Some chick. I don't know what she's doing but she looks like she's gonna kick someone's ass because they pissed in her Wheaties. Also, she has bewbies. Which are always good. You can't beat bewbies.



Combine all figures together, and you'll get Van Helsing (except there's no fat nazis next to tall nazis).

I absolutely loved this movie. It was cheesy in some places, but in the same sense as X-Men, it was awesome. Like ninjas playing Jimi Hendrix on a flaming guitar while soving corn down the throats of fat nazis standing next to tall nazis who are hitting on chicks about to beat some fat kid's ass.

Or something.

Either way, it was pretty much non-stop action, the acting was great (great in the sense that you don't even think about if the acting sucked or not). The action was great, and really...

I don't think I've ever though werewolves were as incredibly awesome as they are until after I saw this film. And when Van Helsing defeated Dracula (I won't say how) I almost stood up and shouted ':DING PWNED, BITCH!' (Yes, it was that awesome)

If you're looking for complex plot, a love story or something beyond Absolut Asskicking ®, then you can go die. Because I liked this movie. And I don't like many movies.

<U235> It's kinda stupid-silly like XMen and Spiderman, but it has unbelievable amounts of assbeating in it
<U235> never have I seen so much ass beaten in such an awesome way
<U235> I guess Kill Bill was a lot of assbeating, but it was boring assbeating
<RaydenUni> i liked spiderman and xmen
<RaydenUni> i even liked Daredevil
<Grillkohle> kill bill sucks
<U235> amen

There, undisputed fact (No, I'm not saying I didn't like XMen or Spiderman. They were goofy films but they were still awesome. Like Van Helsing is awesome). Go see the movie. Now.

Well I was very Hyped about seeing this movie, than I was told that if I went and wasted the money and Time I wouldn't have any friends anymore.

Evan(me): So I am going to go see Van Hellsing
Friend 1: Evan, We just saw it and it sucked
Friend 2: If you go see this movie we will have to kill you
Friend 1: Yeah, if you go see this movie after we have told you how S#@t it is we wont talk to you any more.
Evan(me): C'mon it cant be that bad.
Friend 1: You remember the Hulk...?
Evan(me): Yeah?
Friends 2: Even worse!
Evan(me): GTFOH
Friend 1: Seriously man, don't see it or you will no long have friends, we will go around to everyone you know and tell them evil things that will scare them away from ever talking to you again.
Evan(me): Ok...

So you see after seeing it got only 2 stars, hearing it was worse than the Hulk (most F N bad movie I have ever seen), and being told it was so bad I would be punished for seeing it after being warned, I am not seeing it.

Hmm, actionfest eh? Sounds fun. But please discredit this rumour: I hear that the movie calls the MONSTER Frankenstein. Frankenstein was the nutty professor who MADE the monster. The monster doesn't have a name. Which is a big part of the problem. Tell me that this rumour is wrong and I'll go see the flick.

It's a total cheese-fest ^^

Like the hulk, if you don't take it seriously it's fun to watch... if you're looking for a serious movie though, catch something else :p

Except unlike the Hulk, this movie didn't feature random crap just because it's "cool" (I mean, when I saw the Hulk jumping from mountain to mountain, that was the end of it for me), but I thought it had a very Indiana Jones flair to it (which by all rights had it's own fair share of cheese :p)

The CGI in Van Helsing is nothing short of, again, more 'awesome'. It doesn't look like they're giant green pimples made by some kid in 3D studio Max for his graphics class.

the rumour is wrong.
There was a movie poster that had Frankenstein's Monster on the cover and the name 'Frankenstein' under it (which isn't wholey untrue, because the monster is directly related to Frankenstein). But in the movie itself, they never actually call him 'Frankenstein's Monster', generally sticking with 'The Monster', but never do they call him 'Frankenstein'. (In the first scene angry villagers even shout something to the effect of 'it's frankenstein's monster!'.)

HAHAHAHHH! Van Helsing sucked so hard it could suck a golf ball through a hose. Acting = horable, CGI = cheezy, story = laughable. "OMGZORZ I SEE HER FACE IN THE CLOUDS!" And the real sad part of it was I really liked the Mummy ( same director) but this just blew donkey balls. To bad they left it open for a second one  <_<

They never call it frankenstien, the doctor is called frankestein.

(yes, i did read U235's post, but, after him calling me a nubtart, I just needed to clarify it)

Don't think i've ever seen bozo agree to anything yet, maybe one day ill be lucky and he'll slip..


I watch the movie, great movie, I laughed all the way trhough, funny ^^, I mean most poeple were like "oh that musta hurt" I was to, at parts, but most times I'd be all like *those small star wars like creatures runing around on fire* "BHAHAHAHA!! hahaha their so cute when tehy run on fire hahahaha!"

I generally got a good laugh out of the movie, I found it pure comedy...

At this point I'd just like to say im not crazy.


It was a great movie.

I still don't forgive you.  Poor Zero has nightmares because of the slaughter of everything he holds dear.

You know who you're like?  Joachim Phoenix's character in Gladiator.  You'd kill your own father to be on the top, wouldn't you?

I personally would give Van Helsing a "meh" on a scale from one to awesome.  I just found the whole thing a bit too silly for my tastes.  The action was there, and it was pretty good, but the story kind of got in the way.  I'd prefer that they just either go all-out mindless action or go all-out freaky plot, but not try and mix elements from both.

I have no idea why I seem to be the only one on the internet to have noticed the microphones looming over the actors' heads in about 1 in every 5 shots.  when *I* saw it, the entire audience cracked up all the way through at the constant boom-fest that was the top of the movie screen... couldn't exactly take it seriously...
