Van Helsingis clearly a movie that was made with a video-game version in mind. Considering ... more
the film is an almost non-stop barrage of action
sequence after action sequence it translates very
well to video-game form--even if it doesn't
necessarily make for a classic movie.The game is
very similar to action adventures such asDevil May
CryandCastlevania. Indeed the movie itself seems
to borrow deeply from the latter, with its mix of
vampires, werewolves and just about everything
else that goes bump in the night--not to mention a
heady mix of gas-powered weapons and props. The
game is more accessible than Konami's classic
though and features 14 levels of undemanding but
fun entertainment with your various weapons and
the Batman-like grappling hook offering plenty of
variety even when the bad guys start to get a
little samey.In fact the only real disappointment
with the game, if you assume it was always going
to be a fairly simplistic action title, is the
graphics; although far from substandard, they
certainly don't live up to the incredible effects
actually seen in the movie. The voice cast,
including Hugh Jackman, all provide their talents
for the soundtrack though, which does help
considerably. If you liked the movie then this
game can be recommended fairly easily but if you
didn't, or you've never seen it, there is still
much worse you can buy for the same money. But
then again there's also a lot better. --David
Jenkins

Product details

Actor(s): Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, Richard Roxburgh, David Wenham, Will Kemp, Shuler Hensley, Samuel West, Elena Anaya

Director(s): Stephen Sommers

Genre: Horror

Classification: 12 years and over

Production Year: 2004

Running Time: 2 hours 6 minutes

Video Category: Feature Film

Plot: All varieties of otherworldly creatures come out to play in Stephen Sommers' gothic carnival. Frankenstein's monster, ferocious werewolves, vampire bat babies, a maniacal scientist named Igor, and a CGI Dr. Jekyll are just a few. When they come together, a thrilling fantasy adventure results, making VAN HELSING a visual feast. Destined to fight the world's evil, Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) is a warrior in a cowboy hat and a trench coat, heavily armed with a rapid-fire multi-arrow crossbow, among other gadgetry. A legion of monks in Rome send Van Helsing to Transylvania to hunt the immortal Count Dracula (Richard Roxburgh), who terrorises the local people with the help of his three vampire brides. Especially threatened is the vixen Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale), whose family also strives to kill the Count. Van Helsing and Anna Valerious work together, searching for the secret door to Dracula's lair. But it is only after massive battles involving impossible stunts, races on horse-pulled carriages, and the desecration of enchanting medieval castles (all done with dizzying computer graphics) that they succeed. Not only does the eye candy keep on coming, the tongue-in-cheek writing and deep Transylvanian accents perfect the film with a dose of dark humour.

To Van or not to Van Helsing
Review of Van Helsing (DVD) by  mbeart

Advantages: Good Graphics, Great costumes.
Disadvantages: Wouldn't call a horror!!!! Not very Scary

...Right I have put this in my disadvantages but need to state it again. This is not a horror movie. The characters that are portrayed in this movie may suggest a horror. But it is far from scary. We all know the story of Van Helsing and Dracula. Portrayed very well in the classics as an old man.. This is different, very different. We see Van Helsing as a younger man, much stronger and agile. Gone has the lurking in the corner trying to prise dracula out or preaching, replaced by fancy gadgets for killing and hands on approach for getting the job done. The movie starts in black and white, yes don't try and bang your T.V or think you brought a dud! with Frankenstien being brought to life and Dracula helping. There is a uproar by the locals and Frankenstien ends up falling through a windmill on fire! The movie then moves onto... Read review

Van Helsing
Review of Van Helsing (DVD) by  macteykith

Advantages: good effects, captivating
Disadvantages: none really

...At first I didnt know what this was about, thinking it could be something gangster type or action. Van Helsing is actually the name of a bounty hunter if you like. He helps the church ( irony) in getting rid of bad characters. These are fairytale characters or known names like Dr Jekyll and Mister Hyde, or Frankenstein. It stars wolverine, which is funny as he seems to be type cast! His next mission is to kill the head vampire. He takes along a funny sidekick monk, and off they go. On arriving, we find Kate Beckinsale having fun with a transylvanian accent, the last surviving member since a hunting trip for werewolves caused her brother to become one. Her family were the chain to kill vampires, so she and wolverine hook up to try together. The brother keeps appearing as a werewolf, and she stays loyal to him even... Read review
