    Oooh you can't have seen Orvar. He's the coolest film critic EVER! Like, he's got long black hair and loves splatter films, and he's the film critic for Swedens most respectable tv channel... he also have great comments for films, especially those he doesn't like (and they are many... ;)). I love Orvar. [face_love]

    "I've seen commercials with better acting, computer games with better effects, and I've eaten bananas with more intelligence than this movie" - a typical Orvar comment. :D

    I got one for Christmas!



    I've now seen VH!

    It's EXELLENT!

    It's a total popcorn munching monster action adventure with comedy served on the side!

    In other words.....it's FUN(yes, films can be that)

    I reckon some people didn't like it because they expected certain things and didn't get them! And they just went to see the wrong film for them!

    It did have a couple of cheesy moments, but it was a really good film!

    Now all I've got to do is watch Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Spiderman 2 and Troy and that'll be my summer cinema go-ing rounded up!

    Here's a link to a review, doesn't look too promising. My favorite quote is this:

    " Van Helsing is the worst would-be summer blockbuster since Battlefield Earth. "

    Ouch!

    Yeah 5 stars was a bit much, but I'd still give ID4 a quite high rating. Sure it was cheesey, but boy was it fun. And you can't tell me you didn't feel a thrill as those American landmarks bit the Alien plasma beam induced dust?

    Maybe I'll rent VH... don't think it's a movie I want to see at the cinema though.

    If we go to the first showing of the day, then it's ok!



    Today my brother took me to see it, so I've seen it twice now!

    :D

    Yes, it is worth seeing more that once.....to me anyway!

    People who bash it just don't know the simple goodness of a fun summer movie!

    I saw it tooooday!!!!! Let me say that Hugh Jackman is one sexy monster killer, but he was a little Wolverine-esque, so that was a bit [face_plain] but wasn't it just super cool! I really loved the opening sequence.

    Well.... I have finaly seen it. I enjoyed it alot, but I can see why some of the purists hated it so much.


    **SPOILERS (for those that haven't seen it yet, stop reading)














    Draculas origins are totaly wrong, as are Van Helsings, and not to mention Helsing turning into a Werewolf (ok, it was a great looking werewolf, but still...)!!

    Back to Dracula, if there is one thing that I really didn't like about this film, it was the way he was played, he was just annoying in my oppinion, which is a shame as the guy that plays him is a good actor as a rule. He just came across as a poor mans Bela Lugosi.

    The only other thing I didn't like was the ending, it was way too cheesy, so cheesy you could make a hundred sandwiches with it.

    All that aside though, I did enjoy it as a no brainer popcorn movie. Still nowhere as good as the Mummy films though.

    It gets a 7/10 from me!!

    I've learned that mentioning the LXG movie around Livi is a bad idea!



    And in VH that friar Carl was really funny!

    Lol Does Livi not like LXG then? [face_mischief]

    And yes, the friar in VH was a great character, one of my favourites!

    She loves the comic, doesn't like what they did with the film though!


    Hehe,"Actually I'm still just a friar, so I can curse all I want.....damn it"

    Kinda cheesy, but the way it's said makes it funny!


    The game of VH is pretty good also, I've been playing it all day(I can't turn it off though, because I haven't got a memory card and don't want to do it all again) and I'm on the second to last level, I'm fighting one of Dracula's brides and she spits HOMING MISSILES at me and I can't shoot her long enough to do any damage!

    Stupid bride!

    This was the last bride!

    And I did the whole game again, saved up on life replenishers and speed boosters, so then it was easy!
