Van Helsing 2004 is actually decent movie. amirite?

Honestly one of my favorite vampire/monster movies as long as you can accept the camp factor

by Adolphusmarquar 1 week ago

CAMP factor is a diffusible, heat-stable protein produced by group B streptococci. This is a synergistic test between Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae. S. agalactiae produces CAMP factor.

Is this like an automated response of you just wanted to share that?

by Adolphusmarquar 1 week ago

I wanted to share that I don't know what Camp factor means and This is what Google told me :D could you explain camp factor? Is it stereotyping or something like being naive/dumb? I'm lost haha

Think "tastefully tacky"

by SignificancePure 1 week ago

Camp in the theatrical sense means, per dictionary.com, "something that provides irreverent or knowing amusement, as by virtue of its being theatrically stylized and extravagantly artificial, self-consciously artless, or ironically ingenuous,"

Yes! Love this movie. Wish there was a sequel

Yeah. While it has some camp it's nowhere near Buffy in that department. But people love Buffy somehow...

My mom and I have a running gag where we'll text each other every time Van Helsing is on because for awhile it was on some of the movie channels almost every single day. 😂

Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale is always a winning combination.

I always enjoyed it. Apart from the atrocious acting by the Brides (but maybe they were going for that), it's a fun silly film.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I blame the director. Their contribution to the product had nothing to do with acting.

by Strong_Film_4248 1 week ago

You're right and I agree.

Well, it definitely has one of my favourite Dracula's, so there's that, Also that redhead bride.

While I find the Underworld trilogy to be far superior (werewolf fan) - I completely agree about Van Helsing. Sadly underrated and unappreciated in a genre that is underrated and unappreciated in and of itself.

yes good but not that high up in my list ( complete list is longish so not typing out ). Again, I liked it and somebody can definitely love it way more than the ones I mentioned

Love that movie

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I saw Mortal Engines and initially enjoyed it. It's cool to look at, but the pro-Chinese propaganda that the west is evil and will die due to over-consumption while the east is pure and will save you……I ended up hating it eventually.

I need to rewatch this one. I loved it when it came out, but it's been a loooong time since I've seen it!

When I was 13 Van Helsing blew my mind. I rewatched it recently, and come on.. it isn't terrible, but very mediocre. Then again if you are 13 it's a blast

It's a fun movie and iirc it was pretty low budget and what they pulled off on such a budget just stands to it more.

I loved it when i was like 10 (?) I think it had some pretty cool fights and good actors. Haven't seen it since though.

by Nikolausrick 1 week ago

I didn't realize that movie wasn't held in high regard, was one of my favorites growing up.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I absolutely loved that film, and still do. Apart from the Dracula character that was kinda cringe worthy and the slightly unnecessary Frankenstein angle (imho ofc) - everything was just spot on. Wonderful cast (I mean, seriously, Selene and Wolverine hunting monsters together, what more could you want?), cool monsters, sexy vampire queens, an automatic crossbow, some epic battle scenes and an overall unassuming and light vibe. I still watch it sometimes and have a great time!

by Strong_Film_4248 1 week ago

Plus all the actors are gorgeous.

By todays standards, yes.

by Odd_Significance 1 week ago

I'd say that even back in the day it was good.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

It is a bad movie because it wasn't supposed to be a comedy. Most of the comedy was unintentional. But the jokes land so well when interpreted as jokes that it makes the experience better, sort of like The Room.

Look at the films that were coming out in the theater around that time. The movies coming out then were really, really good

by mayerbrant 1 week ago

Decent? I literally used to play the dvd on repeat I liked it so much. I probably went to bed watching that movie (on repeat) for 6 months straight. Love that movie. I was a strange kid though so take this with a grain of salt

by fishertony 1 week ago

I remember being 15, being in a metal band with my friends, and after practice, we'd get obliterated and watch this movie. Only fond memories. 10/10 movie.

by Public_Campaign 1 week ago

too much going on for many people Sadly, this is an indictment of the general population's mental capacity moreso that the film's plot, which tied everything neatly together in the end. The overall plot meshes and twists the original stories of Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Werewolf together in an unfamiliar hot mess, but it's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. Plus, you get to see Kate Beckinsale in a corset.

I've never heard The Mummy and masterpiece in the same sentence. Fun movie, sure.

by Unlikely-Bar-3048 1 week ago

Never? There's literally like, an entire cult based around Brendan Fraser and the Mummy franchise 😅 that man is a national treasure for sure, but there is literally quite a colossal following based around him and the Mummy movies, people absolutely love them it seems

by Bauer 1 week ago

It was just a wrong note of camp, somehow what clicked superbly in Mummy 1&2, just fell flat. Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale and Richard Roxburgh tried their best to carry it off.
