And, your point? Based on that, I have hopes this movie will be good. Is that so wrong? Based on the same thing, you're saying it will suck. Time will tell what becomes of this movie (if it becomes anything. Right now there are some serious problems going on about desecrating a church).
Not based on the same thing, based on the past 13 years, man. Hollywood sucks

Talk about low standards.

Royal Tenenbaum Of course he has low standards! He watches wrestling.

Spectre X Jamesman, you have VERY low standards. I didn't mean that the monsters would suk, I meant that the movie's plot, and lead characters would suck. not the monsters, and with lead caharcters I don't mean monsters. how could this be anyway? Frankenstein was written way before Dracula. well, at least I think it is.
Feb 19th, 2003 04:47 AM
James My hopes are still high that this will rectify all the shitty "monster" movies.

Like I said, monsters rule, and I hope this movie will too.
It won't rule though. Can you honestly recall a good RECENT big budget monster movie? We're not in the 80's, or even the 90's anymore. Good high budget monster movies are a thing of the past.

No it's a part of Hollywoods crusade to revive the universal monsters. First was the Mummy, now it's Dracula, The Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's monster. Guillermo Del Toro is doing the creature from the black lagoon soon too. Were it just monsters it wouldn't be made by universal and star their three most popular classic "universal monsters."

And no I don't know Frankenstein's monster will be evil. In fact I hope it isnt. I always looked upon the creatuire as one of the most sympathetic charecters i've ever read about. It would be cool if during their run-in Vanhellsing realizes that the most really isnt all that monsterous and decides not to kill it. A cool plot point could be that it was Frankenstein himself that summoned Van Hellsing to deal with his creation and has been spreading fear regarding what it may be capable of. Frankenstein in one corner goading Van Hellsing to kill the beast but when Van Hellsing learns the truth he leaves Frankenstein to the vengence of his own creation. That'd make me smile.

James This isn't about Universal monsters. It's about monsters. Just, monsters. And you don't necessarily know that Frankenstein's Monster will be some sort of evil beast here. You don't know ANYTHING about the movie yet.

And if they called the Wolf Man a "Wherewolf," they would have been criticized for spelling the name wrong.

Personally, I'm looking forward to this. This will hopefully be a nice revival of the monster genre.

I agree with spectre about frankenstein and the wolf man. I really never liked the universal monsters as they originally were. A few of the re-imaginings of frankenstein were good, but I doubt a new one would be good because he wouldn't be in that new movie without needing to be a bad guy, which frankie never was.

Btw, a werewolf would rip van helsing to shit.

Spectre X well, that definately sucks an ass. it sucks a big wet ass. first of all, propably the only thing that is good about this movie, is that Van Helsing is Dutch. now, on to the bad part (read the rest of the movie) Frankenstein, wasn't evil. he was a tortured soul. second of all, Van helsing was old when he got rid of Dracula, and yet, here we see him fighting Dracula while he's young, and even without Keanu Reeves. third of all, "Wolf Man"? what the fuck were they thinking when they came up with that name? was it something like: "hey, those are some really triping colours floating around my head, hey, let's call thuis guy the Wolf Man". what, wasn't WHEREWOLF cool enough? GOD, this movie HAS to suck. not because it's in 2003, but only because of the plot. they could make this in the best era of Horror (i.e. the thirties) and it would still suck ass. they're heretics for messing with Bram Stoker's and Mary shelley's novels like that. I say, the peole of this forum have to unite and burn down the people involved in this movie.

Zbu Manowar Nah, they do have a point. Chances are it'll be edited to nothing thanks to parents not raising their children.
