Anthony hopkins was one of the highlights of this movie. His portrayal of Van Helsing is so unhinged and serious with an dash of comedic flair that feeds into the first two things I said. Makes it a memorable performance.
Interesting I always felt that comedic aspect but wasn’t sure if I was right or wrong nice to see someone else noticing it and that I am not crazy
Originally Liam Neeson was supposed to play him not sure who I would of liked better
His accent isn't bad either. Hopkins has Dutch friends I read, so he must've picked it up there.
@@rc59191Neeson was allegedly interested in the role, but was turned down in favour of Hopkins. As much as I think the former would have been great in the role, the latter was clearly having a ball and hamming it up
The bat flying by at 1:45 was a nice touch. Showing Dracula is never far away, always listening and learning.
I always love the character of Van Helsing in the book and in this film, he does a great job being a bridge character between science and the supernatural, both being a learned doctor but not just treating religion and the spiritual as moronic or just silly superstitions. Plus I like that despite being the mentor/expert character he’s a really nice guy and even has a playful mischievous side. Though of course when he needs to go full Vampire Hunter mode he can switch to that side of himself as well, and Anthony Hopkins does a nice job bringing a bit of edge to that side of him since no doubt the life of a vampire hunter would not just be fun or wouldn’t make the hunter a bit unhinged
Just love how Van Helsing answers Seward's question with a "....ya?" like he's super stumped by the doctor's ridiculous skepticism.
Van Helsing: "Uh...ya? What're you, an idiot or something? God!"
I like how the film subtly hints that Van Helsing may not be entirely human.
i speculated that maybe he was the priest that excommunicated Vlad in the opening scene. that gained true immortality while Vlad was cursed w/ vampirism.
omg i never like thought abot that, that makes so much more sense,
I always thought he was kinda like the Shadow here. He mentions mesmerism and hypnotism, astral projection (may had been doing this until his voice became distant, indicating his true whereabouts the entire time), being able to manipulate and deceive, and using illusions. He knows more about the world than science is capable of explaining, hence why he bluntly states that there exist things that cannot be understood yet still exist.
@@kyrozudesoya1829 EXACTLY! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING about this movie is as much an homage to the novel as it is to the era (Victorian) and film making of the time and thereafter. These ideas, of mesmerism and hypnosis, spiritualism, seances, fairies and aliens/martians, much of these things were pushed as possible or even real in many reputable circles at the time. So it's perfect that Van Helsing would know how to use such powers. I love this scene so much.
@@Revcharge felt the same. The priest is similar to the doctor
This film makes you want to see more of these characters
Anthony Hopkins, though hammy to the extreme here, was a brilliant Van Helsing. The ball was dropped on him when he wasn’t a James Bond villain in the 90’s.
"Yaa. Why not?" Epic line.
So good
The three male characters-Quincey, Seward, and Holmwood-served as foils to Dracula's vampire brides. Unlike the brides, who had fully surrendered their humanity to Dracula, the men steadfastly upheld their moral principles and humanity in the face of Dracula's evil. The brides feared Dracula and remained subservient, prioritising their own existence over defying him. In contrast, the men courageously risked their lives to battle Dracula and reclaim their lives and loved ones, demonstrating a moral strength the brides lacked. This dynamic highlights the humanity and heroism of the male characters, who refused to surrender their values to Dracula's dark seductions, unlike the tragic brides who had already done so.
Van Helsing was an interesting almost sobering character. Hopkins played him with his usual ease and brilliance.
This the most badass Valhelsing ever done in film. This the real Valhelsing that is more intelligent than the the regular Doctor. These scene was stole by him.
Lack of evidence IS evidence!
I gotta know how he did that teleport trick.
Think "Invisible Boy" from Mystery Men: it can work only when everyone looks away.
mesmerism,astral bodies
a beast a monster
Only one world Vlad the Impaler did exist the vampire movies are based of his existence when he was alive
Quincey Morris has a counterpart in the Castlevania games named Quincy Morris who was a distant relative of the Belmont Clan given the Vampire Killer whip by Richter Belmont due to a prophecy by Nostradamus about Dracula's return in 1999 stating that the Belmont clan cannot use it until the appointed time. The Morris Clan can use the Vampire Killer but they have to sacrifice a part of their life due to them not being Belmonts.
I love how the film subtly hints that Joe Biden is Dracula.
Nah, Dracula’s far more charismatic, far more intelligent, and far better dressed
LOL. I was thinking the same thing in the dinner scene with Jonathan.
@@johnmartin4119
To be fair, there are certain breeds of cocker spaniel that are more intelligent than Joe Biden.
Jesus don't you clowns have anything better to do than to make everything political?
If anyone is more like the Prince of darkness Dracula it's Trump with his brainless minions such as all of you
Meanwhile Dracula flitters through
Odin meets Robin of Loxley.
And Dr. Hannibal Lecter
@@chrismc410Old/Classic Loki is here as well alongside the Rocketeer.
Kryptonians and Batmen exist as well, Dr. Van Helsing.
it stalks us
sure he knows some tricks .. how did he do that !
Van Helsing looks a lot like the Priest that scolded Vlad in 1462 in the opening scene. He could actually be that Priest, he possibly became immortal too to stop Vlad, just not a Vampire.
Sell an easy road but keep the harsh realities to yourself. Then, let Mother Nature sort out the weirdos. Hello? Volkswagen?
“We have no choice. The Ring must be destroyed…” -LOTR
Are vampires real?
I never read the book. But is this how the character was portrayed in the book? I find it interesting that he has a dark or ironic sense of humor. 🤷
It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's there in the book no doubt. Van Helsing comes across sort of dorky and foreign and quaint, but goes all business when vampirism comes up.
@@Woesteinvuir Thanks. I just know there's so many versions of him. The way I saw him as a more mature version of Dante from dmc. He was sarcastic and often made jokes at the worst times. Didn't sugarcoat anything, but was serious when he needed it to be. IDK why, but he kinda reminded of dmc 1 Dante mature but still snarky.🤷
Van Helsing is a Dutchman, who for most non-Dutch appear notoriously direct (sometimes even seen as rude) . Hopkins portrayed that aspect pretty well. A dutch audience would go: Why is everybody acting so strange around that perfectly fine and normal behaving man?
Yeah, pretty much. Book Van Helsing is an excentric old guy that tends to overreact at times.
No. In the book, Van Helsing is somewhat feeble. When the men were rushing to Mina's aid at one point, he stumbled and fell as they entered the room. He is brave and determined, but his age shows. He also doesn't have a dark sense of humor.
Odin from thor meets jonas miller from twister
Or Wesley and the dread pirate Roberts from the Princess Bride
I love Hopkins here. His acting is beautifully terrible. Bad, but so bad and over the top you enjoy the hell out of it.
You're totally missing the point.
Are you American?
@@Red-Brick-Dream tell me the point.
I wouldn’t call it bad, although his delivery isn’t good, the beautifully terrible comes from the fact that his portrayal is so straightfaced and unhinged that plays into a small comedic, goofy flair he has....so yeah I too also enjoy the hell out of it. ^^
@@123darkelf I agree.
Umm his acting not bad at all man, he’s amazing in this film, well then again he’s amazing in all of his films
Quincey P Morris, Esquire.
Hmm.
0:55 Shut up, Westley.
