Well, I believe Starsky & Hutch got a nomination, and that made quite a lot. Even if it is based on BO, doesn't that make sense, a little bit? I mean, obvsiously if the movie didn't gross that much, or is a huge dissapointment, there's a reason.

This movie is a lot of fun and way overcriticized. It is better than, say, The Mummy Returns. I'm glad the Razzies snubbed it.

I waaaaaaaaaaaaay disagree with this. The actors in The Mummy movies had so much chemistry and energy. Even when it started to suck, it was still fun.

Maybe yeh, but surely it should be judged by the Board of Razzie, not how it performed. :???: i dunno im just guessing.

VAN HELSING had Promise but here's what was totally screwed up:

1. The Actor who played Dracula.. :lol: Your shitting me??? :-k Talk about totally miscast for this role..

2. The Law of Physics in this movie drove me crazy.. Example: Kate Beckinsdale's character is being held by her feet from a Flying Vampire flying them threw the air probably a good 50 feet above the ground and then smacks Beckinsdale head first into a tree with a HUGE welt on her forehead and the magically does a complete flip in midair and lands on her feet.. :roll:

3. Mr.Hyde.. Why did Mr.Hyde have to look like SHREK??? Why did this character need to be CGI?? Why not a real actor and make him look more like Mr.Hyde instead of this Gumbi like character???

The Saving Grace of thie movie?? The Werewolf.. The FX and the strands of CGI Hair looked AWESOME and very mean and menacing... If not for this, this movie would've sucked far worse..

It's the worst movie of 2004! How someone can call the effects good is beyond me. Those flying bat babies looked crappy like The Birds from Hitchcock and the final battle of the monsters was just terrible.
Than you have Beckinsale with a ridiculous romanian accent and Richard Roxburgh in one of the worst performances of all time.
The action sequences were a bore, not one exciting scene in the whole movie.
The only one with dignity left after this crapfest is Hugh Jackman

I agree the character of Dracula was mis-cast, he played one of the bad guys in M:I-2 if im correct, and this role wasnt for him, but hey....get over it. Your other points i see nothing wrong with.

I didn't hate Van Helsing, it just bored me silly.

EDIT: Except for the flying baby vampires. They were hilarious.

funny - i thought the worst thing about it was hugh jackman! i loved him as wolverine (tho' didn't really rate the films) and was disappointed by his camp performance as van helsing...

i thought the film was awful, but at the end of the day, i wasn't bored for a single scene... and i would rather be entertained by crap, then secretly bored by a great film that i'm trying my best to like.

actually, i take that back: i thought the first vampire raid went on a tiny bit too long. but the film whizzed by, and i laughed at quite a few parts.

has anyone seen the cartoon? is it any better?

Arch your back a little for maximum contraction. In this striking pose, it is vital to keep your moustache stiff and shiny, so have a tub of gentleman's grooming wax close by.
