USMCBillsFan Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Is it worth buying? I love vampire movies ( a huge fan of the Blade series) but was deployed when this movie was in theatres. Will it be worth the 20 bucks in anyones opinion. I think Kate Beckensale may be worth that alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to buy it - always lots of extra stuff to make it even more worthwhile buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I saw in the theaters. Great special effects.....but, the plot stunk. I still don't know what it was about. It's no Lost Boys or Interview with a Vampire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 What about "The Next Day After"? I never even heard of this movie before this week and everyone is hyping it. Was it even in the theaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to that one. 74384[/snapback] i like vampire movies too, but i wouldn't bother buying it on dvd. i thought it sucked and the plot was way to over the top for me. i'd rent it first if you didn't see it in the theaters before you buy it.

VABills Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 If you like vampire movies, I highly recommend "Underworld". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Van Helsing was gorgeous to look at; if you have a nice TV/proejctor, it'll look great. That said, as others have pointed out, the plot sucked. Basically it was action/effects, a few lines of innane dialog, more action/effects, more lame dialog, more action. The dialog is just there to get you from action scene A to action scene B. Overall, I was disappointed. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost bought it at Wally World. Speaking of DVD's, the first Fraggle Rock DVD is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 The Day after Tomorrow I enjoyed although I was heavily drugged this weekend while watching it b/c I was sick. Remember the comedy in Van Helsing???? The alter boy, or whatever he was. Worst bits I have ever heard in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I loved Van Helsing. Mostly because it was a mindless, fun, rollercoaster ride. It was Universal getting back to their horror roots, in having Dracula, The Wolf Man, & Frankenstein's Monster all in one monster-mash. For me it was like watching the old thrillers on Saturday afternoon. I agree that this movie is not for the Anne Rice crowd. I'll be buying it myself, because I thought it was a fun movie.

Guest Lothar - guest Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 In my opinion, Van Helsing ranks among the worst movies ever. Even seeing it on the big screen, with the cool special effects, all I could keep thinking was - what a waste of a good idea and decent actors. believe me, this movie - despite all the hype - bombed for a reason.
