OK folks if you haven't seen this movie yet you may want to skip this one. Consider this your spoiler space..........

Well it has Hugh. This is a great popcorn muncher. Ummm... did I mention Hugh. David Wenham (From LOTR) was wonderfully funny as Hugh's friar sidekick.The CGI was great. It was a fun and funny movie.But that is all I can say about it. It was not scary. there were times it got so painful that we almost got up and left. All in all, it was a popcorn muncher,had some good laughs, but I am glad I only spent $7 for my ticket.

But it had Hugh

If you paid $ 7 for the movie, it can not be in NYC where it is now $ 10.50 a pop

Yes, Hugh is gorgeous and I saw it because he was in it. I am seeing him in Boys From Oz again on the 29th. But as for the movie, I agree, it was not really scary almost comical in parts. It was overdone with special effects very overdone.

I haven't been to a movie since the last Star Wars came out but I was thinking about going to see this one when I'm in Salt Lake.

It looks like fun.

It was not as good or as fun as either of "THE X-MEN", but frankly a million times more entertaining than "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" (but then WHAT isn't?)

Hugh was fine

Loved Roxburgh chewing the scenery

A bit long for a popcorn movie, methinx they tossed in one too many of the Classic Movie Monsters.....kinda complicated the storyline.....there will be a second, it did 50 million in the States & 50 million overseas...I hope the second one is more streamlined, BRING BACK THE COUNT, and hope the sequel is better

YAY for Hugh, it was entertaining enough, but not great

Dracula was a scream!! Somewhere inbetween Tim Curry, Alan Rickman and Count Chocula. But I had a good time.

Tossing more popcorn at Ruffian

I ADORE Roxburgh, he is just too gorgeous even as a BloodSucker, perhaps even BECAUSE of the Bloodsucking...yummy

Tossing popcorn back ayt Mominator

Hugh is GORGEOUS

I am gonna get the 12 Inch Van Helsing Action Figure to go along with my 12 Inch Wolverine Action Figure

Better yet I am gonna get the Six Foot Three Hugh at The Imperial

Thia is a real disappointment. I love horror movies and had high hopes for Van Helsing when I first saw it advetised a few months back. Given the choice this past weekend, I went with Godsend instead because Van helsing didn't look as good as I hoped it would be. Guess I'll skip it completely.

Ruffian you can have the cardboard cutout! I'll take HUGH!!

Posted: 5/11/04 at 12:13am

Ugh, Van Helsing. If not for The Luscious Hugh Jackman, I may have just exchanged my ticket to rewatch Kill Bill 2. I laughed my ass off - and it's not a comedy. The movie was like Rocky Horror Picture Show, without the intention of being campy and satirical. Oy.

[DAME]

Posted: 5/11/04 at 12:19am

Oh it sucked but I had fun. Hugh Jackman. Yum. My only complaint.... NO NUDITY.

I agree, Dame. I mean couldn't one of those warewolves rip his clothes off just ONCE with their claws?? I mean, C'mon we're not paying for plot here!

Posted: 5/11/04 at 9:17am

Lookeee here, Mominator....I told you we can SHARE Hugh, no cardboard cut-out Hugh for this Kid

[mominator]

Posted: 5/11/04 at 9:41am

DARN!!! I thought I found a loop hole! OK I'll share But I don't have to be happy about it

[Ruffian]

Posted: 5/11/04 at 12:18pm

I am all about being positive and sharing, and this Hussy wants him all for herself.....dammit
