Yea this form and the werewolves in love death and robots are the best I seen so far

Lycans in Underworld are great though, since they are mostly practical effects too. But yeah, Van Helsing really nailed the aesthetics for all the monsters. Like extremly well.

@@Mukation Idk, I appreciate that they used practical effects but it made the lycans just look really weird with the disproportionately large head. The CGI werewolves in Van Helsing look much better even though they have outdated CGI, and the Love Death Robots werewolves are just amazing Edit: Grammar

Yeah same after him it’s underworlds werewolves

The only other that I think rivals this depiction is the Werewolf movie featuring Benicio Del Toro where he says the iconic line “I will k*ll all of You” to the scientists watching him transform. That movie was full on classic wolfman horror.

totally agree. it managed to make sense, somehow

I think that the amount of lore was actually a downside and it turned a lot of people off.

Definitely! A lot of people write it off as a cheesy action adventure but it has some really interesting depth to it

Kate Beckinsale looked so hot in this 😀

Plus...kate was absolutely gorgeous

except when his "children" are born and they murder millions

That's actually a plot hole imo, because why then bother to try and bring life to THOUSANDS of dead vampire offspring which will only majorly imbalance the world? Had it been only 10 or so, it would've made sense. But not this amount... Also, how the HLL did the brides give birth to those massive sacks of necrose goo? XD

@@powerpuff_avenger I think he was trying to give life to thousands, because he knew they were unstable and probably hoping that by creating that many, there would be a bigger chance for a few of them to live.

purely pragmatic decision, if he overfeeds before creating an army he will have to travel further to fed which is riskier

​@@powerpuff_avengeri think the goo stuff was added later to preserve their bodies but they actually gave birth to just the bats within them 😂

More like really good pickles

The sexiest vampire brides.

True Good eye to man

Hey since Hugh Jackman is taking up the wolverine role once again, it's possible he might dawn the van helsing persona once again

@@patricemaylasia5115 oh I really really hope so 🙏😩

​@@roderick8167I feel we won't ever get a young wolverine at all. Yes we got a "glimpse" a few minutes in Wolverine Origins,he's about 100 plus years old in X-Men,2,last stand,First Class,Days of Future Past, the last one with his clones(I don't remember the movie exactly).. when are going to get the Avengers with him as a member,and did I mention he, captain America rescued Magneto when he was a small kid(they had a gem of it in first X-Men movie,when he saw the Dog Tags) ..and yes hopefully we get him back,and I know he's sick of us wanting him back as the Logan,but he's a huge fan favorite. I mean,they killed of Iron man, now they are bringing Kang or maybe Tony's half brother in the Cinematic marvel universe

I liked to see a sequel , or even some tie in this movies with the brenden Fraser mummy films . And I feel that this film and “the mummy” trilogy would’ve been great to kick off a dark universe

@@ethandoyle4978 hell yeah I could definitely see Van Helsing and Brendan Fraser mummy movies being in the same universe

Yeah, Kate Beckinsa I mean Van Helsing is why I have an interest in vampires too... oh and werewolves... yeah >.>

@@andrewhinson4323 I guess you like the "Underworld" movies then... 😉

Your comment perfectly sums up why I also like this movie so much, the unique feeling of the world especially!

Thanks to the Blade movies, Underworld and Van Helsing I love this genre of movies. Nuff said

Found my thread.

Or read Dracula

you should watch penny dreadful

There is a prequel film about Van Helsing hunting Mr Hyde, starring Hugh Jackman, Robbie Coltrane and David Wenham.

@@richardblakely6854 Where can I watch?

Hough went on to be Wolverine, and what's his name went on to be a James Bond villain

Ditto

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iK-UrZWbv8rGnXU.html

100% agree, might be my favourite Hugh jackman movie behind X men. And thank you I appreciate that! 🙏

There is a anime movie that is a prequel to this movie don’t remember what the name of it though

It could a prequel and a sequel, show the timeline of Gabriel killed Dracula! Series of his travels with Carl, their chemistry was too good!

Ok so the prequel movie is called van helsing the London assistant

yea like its in original story of Frankenstein

Correct. That’s exactly why they were storming the place. I’m glad someone caught that.

Dracula also states that directly, "Seems excessive for a little thing like grave robbery"

​@@noahrombough2802 not at all. Family matters most in a small secluded town. When ur family remains were desecrated, it become personal. In 70s or 80s most grave even has a metal cage .

@@theneet9528 Bruh, I was quoting the film. Though I have the line wrong, he actually says "A pity your moment of triumph is being spoiled over a little thing like grave robbery."

It has.

Well I do remember watching this but it also came out around the same time as the first Hellboy. I think it overshadowed this.

It made money

I thought it Made like $400 in total at the box office ?

I've seen some people say it's so bad but I just don't get it. It looks really good.

you just have bad taste in movies then

@@thegreathutt no he doesn't

@@graffiti.777 in some scenes is noticeable but in like 90%+ of the movie is good.

@@thegreathutt go back to your beloved marvel post-endgame.

It's literally my favorite part of the theme.

People always diss excellent vampire movies until later they realize they are good.

Homie did you really just copy the top comments and combine them into one 😂😂😂😂

Critics and fans do not watch the movies looking for the same things From a critic point of view the acting was not great, over the top in most places. Pacing was not good. Set design was drab. Story did not flow very well with lots of holes. Contrite and unoriginal. Critics look at a movie from the technical/design/delivery aspect often being "writers" The movie was neither ground breaking or executed in a way that really makes it stand out from a movie making standpoint Not much of that matters to a fan. The movie told a story, had some cool graphics and tied some things together that we do not see done a lot. The movie is fine and campy in the way that many monster movie fans like Just like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen the movie is great in MUCH the same ways which is why there is the gap between viewers and critics in the same way.

Critics don’t represent the average persons viewpoint, back then but especially nowadays. It’s been co opted just like everything else.

@@cjclark1208 then there’s the fact that studios started influencing the review process heavily

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iK-UrZWbv8rGnXU.html

He was also in Netflix's The Iron Fist.

@@jtplays7411 yeah. The undying bad dude

​@@jtplays7411and the stpryteller in 300

Bro eventually went on to become a great narrator in Deadliest Warrior.

Breaking news…. Actor acts in another film.

bit of a late reply to your comment, but both these movies were intended to be at least trilogies. Universal at the time I believe didn't think there would be much value in a large franchise, especially since the sheer cost and difficulties filming the lord of the rings was a massive risk that only paid off due to incredible (and expensive) talent in absolutely every miniscule aspect. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen could have been a victorian/steampunk avengers. And that cursed knowledge haunts me :(

Similar to Wendigo also

This movie, alongside Wolfman, have the best Werewolf transformations. It's painful, it's scary, it's savage, I LOVE IT!

Thought I was the only one

In the interviews they said they wanted him to look like he was a rockstar

Lol 🤣😆 sex is sex, mate

some things are better lft forgotten...like this question

My worry is how the f did the brides lay those things upside down in the ceiling and why mammals supposedly lay this egg sacks. Because they are actually demonic and it would make more sense to the movie, I know. 🤣

The fact that their babies are born as vampires heavily suggests the former (yikes).

Not only that but it would seem they lay the gets from thier vaginas in demon form from the look of the eggs. Crazy gross

kzfaq.infoFaMjusylk_Q?feature=share

Seems to be more a scientific explanation there for a more supernatural themed movie... It makes sense biologically wise but I think there's more to it than just that

@@theunknownshadowish Well also Curse wise it makes sense. If you use magic and curse one person. Only that one person has the full curse on him. Why would the Children from the cursed Person have the exact same strong Curse then the actual targeted cursed person?

@@HandsomeGamerGuy by your logic if you curse "one person" then why should any of their children... or anyone unrelated for that matter be cursed. Also they aren't HIS children they were bitten wither by him or others that were. So... if it passes from person to person via bite, then they SHOULD all be able to go hell beast... But going by your argument, they then should not even be vampires to begin with; as only Dracula WAS the one the curse was placed on.

Dude yes they did they just didn’t look like Dracula

Money, the god of Hollywood. If it doesn't make enough money it doesn't get a sequel.

The actor played that role to PER-FEC-TIOOOOOOON! This is definitely one of the better Dracula representations in media, as well as vampires, in my opinion. And that goes for all the monsters in the movie, if I'm being honest

kzfaq.infoFaMjusylk_Q?feature=share

To me it seems obviuos that skyrim creators took vampires and worewolves design from this movie

@@danielematta1555 Yeah, that’s why I left that comment.

No. Gabriel was the human manifestation of his namesake, meaning he himself is a man with an Angelic force controlling him. So a Werewolf possessed by an Angel would be more accurate, but it's not as simple as possession. More like a merging, I think.

@@BlankEmporium You speak so authoritatively on this imaginary circumstance.

@@camhamster3891I was thinking the exact same thing 😵‍💫🤣

@@camhamster3891 Then you explain better. Go ahead, I'm waiting.

​@@BlankEmporium I understood perfectly what you said. Those steeped in mythology and not confined to a purely Western worldview will too.

This and The Mummy were the perfect starting point for the Dark Universe, instead of what we got.

Not Frankenstein's creature moves to France for a while and then enters the Monster High verse, I guess

That what I thought. He always came off as “im trying to be on the winning team.”

​@Kawaii Onee-chan Definitely a "Better you than me" kind of guy. He even admits this by saying, "It's just in my nature."

movie where the beginning of the movie there are people drunk in the table at a castle there is a werewolf that kills a lot of people there years later in modern times a group of tourists go to the castle swim naked in the pool of the caste it is snowing outside

Well they never made a sequel because the first one lost a ton of money and was blasted by critics.

@@KS-PNW thank you for the information and I hope the critics got fired

I don’t see the need for a sequel Dracula was killed who would have been the villain?

​@@dakotasavage2192agree this movie 🍿 is so entertaining... overall i really love and enjoyed watching it❤

Brother v Brother

@@Iluvlollipops exactly, but one don't quiet believe it

Anna stated her father went missing,and her brother saw his dad's bones right "Literally" beside him when he got put into the straps to be placed as another experiment 🧪..he was definitely an older Werewolf or Lycanthrope

I remember that her father was use as an experiment. It's show in the movie.

no

I thought the same. I figured the Dad (Boris) figured out that only a Werewolf could kill a Vampire - something that could truly kill Dracula, but he couldn't control it because he didn't transform during a full moon like Van Helsing did during the final battle with Dracula. But before Boris could regain himself, Dracula captured him, then used him as a test subject, as well as a guard dog to try to kill Anna and Valcan. The last time we see the Dad, confirmed by his son Valcan, was when he was back in Dracula's castle, who died due to the experiments being too much for him to handle. This also explains why Dracula had a cure for the Werewolf curse, which tells me he also knew about this weakness, either he learned this on his own, or was something Boris confessed to him, and was prepared to deal with anyone who happened to have the curse. I also noticed that Dracula used Valcan, a newly turned Werewolf, to use as a sacrifice to reanimate/birth his children just like he used Boris, so who knows, maybe Dracula was the one who turned Boris into a Werewolf because using just a human wasn't enough, which explains why he has a cure to begin with. I wish we got a sequel or remake for this universe. The movie was one hell of a ride! If you ever need a good movie full of action or something for Halloween (lol), this is a movie worth watching.

​@@muhaiminmin8759 yes

A series would be cool too

Had to do one of my favourite movies justice! And thank you! 🙏

The way these stories go, he probably fell in love with Old Vladdy

@liwiathan he seemed pretty into the Princess till he you know killed her

@@crimsonffire people can fall in love with more than one person especially when the old relationship is well and truly over and you know people are bisexual pansexual it's like a spectrum or something

@liwiathan oh I'm well aware of that. But I don't think the film is that deep . They may have had a friendship but don't think was a romance or bromance thing. Would have been very interesting to have had a prequel to just see they're story arch . Because Vlad clearly knew him very well tho he could have been using that to play mind games with him?

@@crimsonffire it's possible I'm the same way towards our that's intend to go is someone was singled out to do a job and then when I fell in love with someone The Authority didn't want them to and maybe they just didn't want to fall in love it all never mind with whom and so very predictable backstory

That's basically Supernatural

@@aaronkortsch2372 except supernatural doesnt have any monsters, i watched few episodes and all monsters are always in human form

@@Enkabardbecause supernatural deals with possessions not monsters spirits demons and angels

They DID make a Van Helsing show.
