Personally, i find myself saying that Van Helsing was boring and over rated. The vampires were pathetic, and i found it to be dragged out quite a bit.

     Well i think the Van Helsing character was taken from the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker so everyone has quite a sense of familiarity on him... Well about the movie from1-5 (5 being the highest) my ratings would be between 2-3, because I saw plenty of ropes froms those "flying" vampires... (I have keen eyesight though I wear 50-50 grade glasses) I can't really say it sucked coz of what they had done to the set (the village), but I think they could have done it better...

I loved the movie. Just because the characters aren't exactly portrayed as how they really would be in reality, it doesn't mean that you have to dislike the movie. I personally loved the movie. Best Regards and Wishes to all!!!^_^

The movie sucked. Kate Bekinsale's poor attempt to sound like a native-born Romanian didn't help either. Still, she looked hot. Graghics were good but story line was weak.

it was not particulally good at all, it had good CGI and an ok plot line but i think i was aimed at a younger audience, not being scary or particlally gorey. but then again thats my opinion

I actually did not care for it, because it seemed like they dragged it out to long. The best part I did like was of the imps attacking the village, had a good laugh at that.

should also remember this movie draws it's insperation from the classic horrors before technicolour, that and being aimed at a very young audiance.. in all that it was good..as mentioned before it's not not really a thinking movie

How can I say what exactly about the characters? I'm not sure if this'll answer your question or not Hellfire, but I'll try, lol. The movie was fiction, therefore, that doesn't mean the characters have to be the way they would factually. It's just my opinion, I'm not trying to force it onto anyone. =) (I don't wanna start anything.... I just want to say that now, because most of the time, when this happens, it ends up in a little fight, and I just wanted to mention that I don't want that.) ^_^ *Best Wishes!!~

i think they abused the vampire, as well as decent acting. the script was horrendous, the dialogue was so corny it gave me goosebumps, and the absolute overzealous racism issue was stressed too much. the whole "appreciate frankenstein because hes different" seemd all too much to be democrats trying to fight racism through movies. i give it a 2 out of 5, for the effort.

I actually enjoyed it. Thought the effects were awesome, had other monster aspects in it. I like the fact about how they came up with the character background of Gabriel Van Helsing. I took it from the different hints that they gave throughout the movie that he was the archangel Gabriel.
