Guilty pleasure.  It was goofy, but fun.  The concept of that type of werewolf was interesting, with the skin tearing and all, but I had mixed feelings about the use of cgi.

Pretty much crap. Kate's hotness was about the only thing it had going for it.

As much of a sucker as I am for anything werewolf-related, I've still passed up this DVD when I could've gotten it free.

Needed more werewolves.

there's a line in the outtakes that is rather amusing "i give you VAN HALEN!"

<SLAPPING FORHEAD> I still don't get how people say this movie wasn't good. It's not like it was a comic and the people made something else out of the movie. The werewolf is one of the best werewolves I've ever seen. Now granted I can't watch the movie all the way through and Kate died bogusly (now if there's a sequel I got it, he needs a new woman every movie, but they should have referred to James Bond for inspiration)

to this day I can watch the beginning intro of the vampire brides and the WEREWOLF. When that wolf was in the house, that scared me (reminded me of Dark Shadows 90s version for some reason. Maybe because that was old school scary. You the monster, you try to plea and it just stares, then attacks.)

come on that clip of the "Wofman" running in the woods didn't look like a homemade video clip to you?

I thought they got better as the movie progressed. Like the first one had a really sleek head (it reminded of a Doberman o_O ) and then the second was okay, and then when Van Helsing changed that was the best one.

It's an entertaining movie, but I don't think it's fantastic by any means. I think it wasn't meant to be all serious, but I think there were parts that were funny that were definitely not supposed to be funny.

I guess the design was cool. They just had this bizarre accent that I wasn't able to get past, haha.

I did find the idea that vampires give birth to sacs of... well, I guess still births basically, pretty interesting. Never really thought about vampire reproduction... except for the classic biting-and-becoming-one thing

You know why it looked like that?


Because it was being FILMED on a gently caressing video camera.

It was bootlegged from a comic con.

And no, even through the bootleg vision, nothing about that trailer seemed bad or off to me.

Most, if not all, of Van Helsing seemed bad to me. Because it was.

listen stop being insecure. I have a right to my opinion and so do you. I wasn't referring to the actual vidoe camera but of the clip. <Do I need to break that down on a lower intellectual level for you to get? I can if need be >

Anyway look the writing's on the wall, this isn't all that b/c it keeps getting shelved and let's face it this rehash probably didn't need to happen. A lot of people are pissed with them redoing already done classics. IF they're gonna be done, by all means get the essence of it and do it right. Otherwise DO ANOTHER MOVIE  similar to it.  Deep Blue Sea what an excellent movie inspired by say Jaws and other sci fi movies. They didn't redo Jaws.

I'm all for this b/c it's a werewolf movie but dag people keep half #ssing the job and they're gonna get bad results (I.E. tank at box office)

For more on Wolf Man go to the Wolf Man thread please! This is Van Helsing.

And I liked the accents, I'm all for showing other accents than American all the time. I like that Harry Potter used British folk for instance.

Cheers

I'm also all for using accents, but I didn't think the accents came off as Eastern European, which is what gave me trouble. Harry Potter people being British and thus having accent was pretty cool. Mel Gibson trying to do a Scottish accent in Braveheart gets props from me. However, I'm not really familiar with Eastern European accents and perhaps that's what causes my balking at it.

Now look who's getting insecure, and with personal insults as well.

And you thought Deep Blue Sea was an excellent movie? I sincerely hope not.

And the last time I checked, you weren't a mod. You have absolutely no control over what people talk about in this thread.

Hey! No dissing "Deep Blue Sea", that movie is a fun ride with only a few quirky effects that could have been done better.
