Van Helsing

Wow, this movie is retarded. What a waste of time and money. It's even worse than Underworld. Van Helsing has some stylish visuals and good CGI and that's it. The story is laughable, the characters are empty, the acting ranges from horrid to barely average, the dialogue is bad and even the non-stop action doesn't prevent the flick from getting rather boring pretty fast.

The best thing that can be said about this piece of shit is that it's better than League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Tomb Raider 2.

I really wonder why it is that these retards think it's okidokey to spend dozens of millions on CGI and shit like that while they skimp on a few thousand bucks for a decent writer. I'm not expecting Tolstoy... but for the love of Jeebus, there must be something better than: "a guy who lost his memory is sent by the Vatican to safe some chick in Transilvania who fights Count Dracula and his evil plan to take over the world by breeding an army of vampires with Frankenstein technology."
 
Ahaha, it's worse than I thought. I thought the trailers looked crappy.

Anyway, GodSend takes the cake. 3% on RottenTomatoes.com. One of the worst ever.
 
The werewolve looks pretty cool though. The CGI pretty good but the rest of the flick is a major stinker.

They did a good job with marketing... the stylish posters made me expect a modern-day rehash of the Van Helsing story with a unique style but what I got was a horrid, trashy action flick that had little to do with the original Van Helsing character and obviously made it a point to incorporate every campy horror movie cliche (and to top it off, there was plenty of James Bond and Indiana Jones in it, too).

Lots of wasted potential. Aside from a proper script, Van Helsing could have used some genuine "classical" horror moments instead of the numerous B-Movie style shock moments.
 
Guess Ill give this one a miss then, I was wondering why this one was coming across the Atlantic so quickly when Hellboy was taking so long. Trying to outrun bad publicity I guess.

How was Punisher?
 
Problems is, those are really just b-movies with big special effect budget marketed as block busters. And because of that, it's hard to let your brain off like you would for a "normal" b-movie.

IMO, it would help if they were stupidly funny instead of trying to be serious and just end up looking obvious and pathetic. Or maybe provide a way to lower your IQ to around 50 before going in ;)

But seriously L233, WTH did you go see that movie ???? ^_^
 
The movie sucked and the "I've never seen the sea" scene will go down in history as one of the most poorly conceived , acted out and filmed scenes of all time.
 
Bah.

THe movie wasn't that bad .


I had fun watching it.

The effects were great .

Sometimes thats enough to waste 2 hours on .

It could have been worse. It could have been a vin desiel movie .

Btw supersize or whatever its called is a great movie , go see it now

Damn... you know what's freaky... I've been having Mcdonalds (or somilar) every day at breakfast, lunch and dinner for about a month and a half and i've never felt this good in my life. And i havent put on a gram. Actually, i look much better now than i did before, but that's probably the gym...

THat is the thing .


He would get a super sized breakfeast with a soda.

Well personally i avoid fries and fizzy drinks... But i can have up to 4-5 burgers (any, be it Big Mac or whatever else) in a day. With Orange juice or water...
And don't forget the chocolate. And the cookies.
I never stop eating. I'm just about to go through 400g of cookies on my own.
 
That Supersize must be a very entertaining movie :rolleyes:

Even I could not think of a more boring subject for a movie/documentary.

I hate all this 'Reality TV' and such.... soooo booorrrriiiinnngggg

Tell me about it... Although they could have made it entertaining somehow.

I mean, i thought Spellbound (u know the one, following an American spelling contest for children) would be the most boring movie in centuries, but it was actually quite entertaining. Geeky but fun!
