Awesome choice guys
One of my favorite guilty pleasures films next to Kate & Leopold romance comedy with my face Aussie actor
This is my favorite movie the best werewolf design ever. Sick vampire designs and story
Yes, Huge Jackedman was great! 😂
You guys should watch League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! Sean Connery, Stuart Townsend, Shane West, Tony Curran (Marcus from Underworld Evolution). Didn’t do well in theatres but, it’s a cult classic. Characters Dorian Gray, Mina Harker (Draculas first wife), Captain Nemo, dr. Jekyll
The design of the werewolves, specially Van Helsing‘s black one, is by far my most favorite from any movie. Dracula‘s monster form is also pretty amazing!
Van Helsing’s form is by far my most favoritt form by far.
I like that lighter gray one in the beginning more. But all 3 look nice
This movie's werewolves were how I always imagined them, and no other media rep has compared. Why don't we have more werewolf movies???
@@gabrieldobson3469 Because they are incredibly expensive to produce, unless you have access to top tier werewolf costumes, which are expensive as fuck.
@@619Slipk It was pretty cool, but my fave is always the Van Helsing one because he embodies the duality and we get to know the character more to see he does not want to turn into it for multiple reasons.
Peak monster design in this film. And also arguably the most accurate adaption of Frankenstein's 'Monster'. Who is a well spoken corpse-amalgam named Adam in the book.
In the book the monster is beautiful and otherworldly though.
@@robertgronewold3326 beautiful to Frankenstein because it is his creation
@@devilaasura3827horrifying to Frankenstein once it had life
They’d LOVE the Turkish one called Yaratilan, the English is good too. Even kept the original language for the songs sung from the original voice actors too edited into the dub in such a nice way
“ I Frankenstein” is good too
This was one of my FAVORITE movies growing up! I forced my family to watch it so many times I could almost recite it word for word.
Same I absolutely love it
We woulda been very good childhood friends you and I haha
Yea its just cool, music is also badass. Also, this Dracula rocks.
Same that and the scorpion king
Same! I used to watch this way too much lol
This is one of my favorite movies. Van Helsing’s wolf has to be one of the best wolves I’ve seen. Crazy how this came out back in 2004 and I haven’t seen a better looking wolf since this film.
The brides are so beautiful. The graphics, the story, just love it.
I've seen better looking werewolves, but none of those are quite as badass.
@@vladyvhv9579 awesome, which movies? I love a good wolf movie.
@@minnie9107some of the only ones I could even begin to imagine is dog soldiers for its practical effects or some newer movies that were okay but wouldn’t lay a finger on Jackmans werewolf, a good one is “werewolf: the beast among us”
But genuinely my mom showed me werwolves before I was in kindergarten so werewolves have always been my favorite. I’ll go out of my way sometimes to watch a single episode of a foreign show because I’ve heard it has a decent werewolf in it. From the budget films with shitty masks that are just downright awful to 80s, 90s, to present day I’ve watched just about all of them. Still gotta say van helsing is my favorite picturing of the body type of a werewolf but, underworld: rise of the lycans is a super super close second because it’s cgi and practical effects taking place in a time where there were no guns makes them just that scarier since you have to use swords and arrows. A good werewolf just truly needs to have an elongated snout and stand on just hind legs. None of the twilight dire wolf looking bs. Only movies I can really name that can pull the flattened face off are the original and remake of the wolf man purely because that was how they intended it based off the original.
End of violently stoned werewolf rant (p.s. the difference in amount of werewolf movies and shows compared to vampires just makes me feel like no one else really wants more like me☹️ )
I love this movie. It’s a little campy, a little cheesy and loads of fun.
This movie still has the absolute BEST Werewolf transformation, even after 19 years of its release the CGI looks amazing !!
Lol what? Practical effects > CGI watch American Werewolf in London or Gingersnaps
The ginger snaps werewolf is such a disappointment in looks, at the end form. Most are, and the van helsing one is definitely one of the best
@tzeentchian Gingersnaps definitely looks awful, but the transformation itself was better
If by "amazing" you mean "incredibly hokey and fake". Though, I can say that's true of all CGI. I'd say the CGI is this movie's biggest detraction. Everything else is epic, though.
The design of the werewolves in Love, Death + Robots is incredible also. Have you seen the episode ?
This is such a good film. I love the actor that plays Dracula, one of the few embodiments of the character that I like. If you guys haven't already, you should watch Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman in. He is phenomenal.
This and Extraordinary League of Gentlemen were on repeat for me growing up. Loveeeddd this era of fantasy/monster fighting!
I had an irrational, intense FEAR of werewolves growing up and the werewolf design in this movie scared the hell out of me as a kid
I always thought this werewolf design was cool as a kid
@@CertifiedSunset Still the best design for werewolves in general imo
i had fear of vampires when i was a kid, but i still watched this movie again and again. Love this movie
Lol
Well, that's weird, because as much as I love the design of these werewolves, these were the only werewolves that didn't scare me as a child (I also had that same irrational fear)
What a cult classic! I remember being freaked out as a kid and running to my parents bedroom after the first black and white scene of dracula. Then, I came back to watch a pre-teen and loved it! The werewolf design is so sick!
I love that no one ever notices the actor who plays Friar Carl,the actor does such an amazing job at masking his greatness. Played by one David Wenham, aka Faramir from Lord of the rings! 🎉
Hes Australian 🇦🇺
Sean Bean would have done this role better
I saw this as a kid in my grandma's creepy old house, been in love with it ever since!
I watched this with my dad and he got into it. He grew up watching Bela Legosi, Lon Chaney Jr and Boris Karlof versions of these classic monsters and afterwards i watched the classics version with him. He still enjoyed this movie especially the Wolfman and Dracula fight.
I liked the nice touch to the actual origins of werewolves they used. In lore, werewolves are wolves in human skin, so when Van Helsing transformed you saw his skin peel off revealing a furred form beneath it.
The monk is David Wehnam. He plays both Faramir and the narrator from 300. Crazy range.
Love this Van Helsing version the most. Love how they did the transformation for every character that weren't human. Super well done.
I remember watching this when I was younger, and when the credits hit there was applause and screams of cheer. It'll stay with me. I heavy enjoyed this movie and still do.
HECK YEAH :D Loved this movie as a child ^^! Had this on DVD and watched it a hundred times with my dad :) So many good memories. Love that you guys are reacting to his ^^
Also keep in mind, while they did change some things for this film, Van Helsing and Dracula are still mortal and bitter enemies. They have fought each other before. If I'm not mistaken, they faced each other quite a few times in the lore starting with Bram Stoker's book. But what I found interesting is that in a way, they're similar. The left and right hand of God and all of that stuff. I really liked the look of Van Helsing's werewolf form too. He looked so badass and mean. Loved it when he sharpened his claws at one point.
Never expected you guys to react to this movie!
I'm glad you guys enjoyed this movie. It's definitely one of my favorites, the transformation of the wolves is the best we've seen in movies even until today!!
And I still haven't gotten over Ana's death 💔 my cinematic trauma as a child lol.
Van Helsing character originated from Bram Stoker's Dracula, the most influential vampire fiction ever written. Which goes without saying, you should react to the movie as well!
This a rare genre combining elements of steampunk/gothic, fantasy, and action/adventure. The other movie similar to this that I can think of is 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' (starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton!). The movie kinda went under the radar but if you guys like guns, that movie is a steampunk guns galore 😂 It's fkin awesome.
After watching your Twilight, I was just like, “Yup, they need to look at some real werewolves.” Amazing reaction and movies.
I love this design for werewolfs the most out of all media interpretations. They went full massive bipedal wolf monster instead of hairy dude with a messed up dog face and super strength. They took the most fantasy route with the designs and I love it. I also believe these designs directly influenced the vampire and werewolf designs in Skyrim aswell.
I love the dialogue of Van Helsing and Carl about The Monster.
"I'm staring at him! Is that a man?"
"Several men! Parts of them, anyway." XD
Edit: Also, Hugh Jackman Werewolf is hecking hawt. Velkin Werewolf, not so much. The initial werewolf was pretty too XD
I’m pleasantly surprised this movie holds up the way it does all these years later. Masterpiece in the modern gothic genre (imo)
This is such a great movie! It blows my mind how versatile Hugh Jackman is! I love the story and the characters ❤ great reaction guys!!!!🎉
Such a fun good movie
It sucks that it never got a sequel, this could've been such an awesome universe to explore again
The Netflix series is not really the same sadly
Not sure a sequel would have been able to top this movie though.
Such a great movie. I remember watching it over and over when it debuted. And many years after! It was fun running through the castle and seeing the lab at Universal Studios in LA with those minions running around 😂
A bit of a bonus I know you'll like.
Hyde was portrayed by the late Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) and Jekyll by Dwight Schultz (Murdock from The A Team)
Carl (Van Helsing's monk buddy) is David Wenham, aka Faramir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Van Helsing is what the Universal Monster-verse should have been.
Make it a TV series, give it a big overarching through line , with each season having a more focused story for each of the big badd monsters, and sprinkle some others throughout for flavour.
0:14. Man I can't believe both of Mason Quinn's arms had mever seen this before. I'm so glad they both got to watch it for the first time
I will never understand why this movie gets poor critic reviews. It's SO GOOD, especially for 2004. It's not perfect but for me it is, I'd watch this movie at least once or twice a month every year for years. It's a movie that never goes out of style and honestly one of the best dark fantasy movies to ever be created IMO. Forever a classic.
This is one of my favorite movies! Can't wait to see your reactions!
So happy you guys picked this up, it's a fun romp. 👍🏾
From monster design to casting to writing this movie is just a blast to watch. Humorous, yet still filled with an assortment of feeling and action. The music also deserves an honorable mention. It's not by any means a great movie, but it's a solid watch with some incredible scenes and choices when it comes to world design.
Frankenstein hit them with the Nico Robin “I WANT TO LIVE!!”
I dont know why, but when i was in 6th grade my teacher showed us this movie. It was around the Halloween/Fall time of the year and when we had free time we watched this movie. Really good for sure
This movie is such an underrated classic. Ratings for it aren't great, but it's very much like A Knight's Tale- One of my guilty pleasures. So much fun to watch.
Bit of a lore drop here: Gabriel is supposed to be an archangel... Or maybe just angel (I forgot), who became mortal to join the Holy Order and fight Evil. He became close friends with Vladislaus Dragulia, who was also a brother of the Order. They go to the underworld and manage to kick loads of unholy ass, and form a huge bond there. Vlad ends up forsaking his order by choosing love, breaking celibacy, and the order didn't like it, so they arranged for them to be separated, but it lead to an accident, killed Vlad's woman, and he gets mad. He makes a pact with the devil and raises her from the dead, which is where the Order tasks Gabriel with killing Vlad. Take this all with a grain of salt since I've not seen this in a long while.
It's a freaking rollercoaster of a story, and I'm glad you dudes enjoyed it as much as you did!
You guys are easily one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Keep up the great reactions!
I will never understand why this didn't get any sequels.
The designs in this movie are great, the actors are having a blast. It is a fun movie and the best I saw as a kid.
Grew up watching this and love all of it and love the werewolves in this in my opinion this is what a werewolf should look like
I love this movie, me and my family periodically watch it
Yo I love this movie its my favorite monster theme movie. I wished it had some sequels maybe having Van Helsing fight other creatures like demons, or witches maybe other famous monsters like Bigfoot or the Loch ness monster.
I watched this with my dad all the time when it first came out, i was born in 1999 if that helps i was really young seeing this and it was a movie i watched alot I always loved the story and the action. As a kid watching it i always thought it looked so real. I personally love this movie and what they do with it
This is a great movie, I loved watching this growing up (and I still do). I wish they made a sequel to this movie, even a reboot (just to see these specific characters again and explore its lore more). And while there is a Van Helsing series on Netflix, it actually has nothing to do with this movie. Something I love about this movie is its lore (like I mentioned earlier), we see that Van Helsing is the Archangel Gabriel (that is why Dracula called him both Gabriel and the Left Hand of God). And he is actually very old despite his appearance, I am curious to know when Van Helsing became human (which I assume is when he lost his memories) because if he became human right before or after he killed Dracula the first time (when Dracula was human) then Van Helsing doesn't age, but if he became human recently before the events of this movie then that might make a little more sense. Maybe that's why he became human, to help Anna (one of the last of her family) kill Dracula so her and her family can finally enter heaven (he just couldn't remember that after he became human, maybe because as an ancient Archangel he would have a massive number of memories that maybe his human mind couldn't handle). Also, it's weird (and gross) that Dracula tried to make Anna (one of his decedents) his bride, I get that he probably came from a time in which marrying distant relatives was acceptable, but it's still gross. Regardless, this is still a great movie, and I would still like to see you guys react to other werewolf movies, like; "Wolfman" (the 1941 and the 2010 versions), "An American Werewolf in London 1981," "Wolf 1994", and "Werewolf of London 1935." "Dracula Untold 2014," "Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992," and "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 1994" would also be great movies to see you guys react to as well.
The score composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri is EXCELLENT.
One of my guilty pleasures. I even had the game on PS2.😂
I didnt even know this was on the list I looooooooove this movie literally the best werewolf transformation in history watching the skin shed for the firs time was super cool to me another gem. I always go back and find myself randomly watching this, and I mean look at Hugh and Kate they are amazing. I think the CGI was amazing for the time honestly mixed with some practical, I loved that Dracula walked up the wall just so casual while talking, Frankenstein’s monster honestly being a sweet heart, and the BRIDESSSSS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love this love happy you guys enjoyed it.
Here's a little trivia note that a lot of people don't realize Carl (David Wenham) the monk or whatever he is, basically Van Helsing's Q was also the narrator in 300. He was the one that lost an eye and told the Kings story.
Oh I LOVE this film! One of my favourites. Hope you enjoy it!
I love this movie so much. Its just the right amount of camp. Also, the actor who plays Igor is Benny from the Mummy.
Yesss finally😭😭 My favorite supernatural movie the best looking werewolves with a tail ever on screen this is how werewolves are suppose to look Van Helsing werewolf is the best looking werewolf ever to exist!❤❤👏🏿👏🏿
This movie was an underrated gem in my opinion! I loved this growing up, and it still holds up even now! I never felt like it was over the top even as a kid. Many movies are over the top really, so if anything, that's pretty normal. The combination of all your classic monsters and van helsing was just really cool to watch. I put this up there with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen when it comes to underrated monster classics (if you've never seen that movie by the way, then I highly recommend watching it). This is also my favorite Dracula and werewolf design by far. I'm glad you guys liked the transitions as much as I did. Frankenstein's monster was also pretty good too. Man the more I think about, the more I feel like it shoulda got a sequel for real!
I've never watched the series, but I'm pretty sure its not like this movie at all. It definitely would work well though as a series if they do it like this movie. Maybe they can reboot it or something. I also never knew the critic reviews were so bad for this movie. I feel like critics sometimes forget to just have fun. It wasn't meant to be a super serious, Oscar winning movie. I guess that explains why it didn't get a sequel though. 😢
I think this movie was rated just where it needs to be.
@@KrazyKat007 ok 👍🏾
It's really sad how there are no more high quality movies like this.
Fun trivia, Richard Roxburgh, who plays Dracula, met his wife on this film set, she’s one of his three vampire ladies❤️
Watching this I just noticed Anna's reference to The Good, The Bad, The Ugly - "if you're gonna shoot, shoot; don't talk"
Lost the count of how many times I've watched this movie, love love love.
Great choice I can’t wait to watch this
Watched this movie when I was a kid. Funnily enough, this was my introduction to Hugh Jackman and all the legends of Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Hyde. Which really helped me as an English major. Loved the visual effects and their style of filming. What was the Netflix they were talking about? It is not available in my area
Best werewolf design ever, especially the grey one at the start is INCREDIBLE
This video really came at the perfect time 🤩
This definitely one of my favorite movies been patiently waiting for this reaction 😂 ahhh 😱
The CGI makes it hard to believe how old this movie is
i love van helsing, i was around 8 when i first saw this movie in ‘04 and the werewolves design, especially jackman’s scared me as a kid!
The Creature From The Black Lagoon was supposed to have a cameo in the Moat of the Castle, but it was never shot.
I had absinthe a long time ago in a club in Paris. You originally light the shot then blow the flames out then down the drink.
Glad you guys had fun with this one. Now I’d like to make a couple of recommendations for future reactions. I’ve mentioned these before, but I’d like to mention them again. I recommend you guys check out The Last Witch Hunter and I,Frankenstein. Both of them are, in my opinion at least, very good modern monster movies. Might be worth checking them both out.
Early 2000's Kate Beckinsale is always a win.
Such an underrated movie this was... I see one small part of movie advertise the 5.1 dolby surround back then. It was awesome. 😅
Best werewolf transformation!
This literally is my most favorite vampire movie.
If you get the chance, you guys should definitely check out the animated prequel to this film: “Van Helsing: The London Assignment”. It’s only about half an hour long, but it fills in the lore gap of Van Helsing’s first pursuit of Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.
No way yall watched one of my favorite early 2000's movies lol I this is such a pleasant surprise!
I've always loved this movie and never understood the lackluster response.
One of my favorite music scores ever.
The werewolf transformation here looks like the Hemlock Grove one, but Hemlock did it even more intense!
One of the best film about Vampire and werewolves ♥️ Love this movie so much.
It's been SO long since I've watched this amazing movie that I had forgot about it.
We NEED a series that is in this vein, just a straight up gothic monster mash action show. I love this film so much.
Love the monster designs especially Frankenstein and Hyde!!!
Loved y’all reacting to this
My friends and I really enjoyed this for a few years, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) has a very similar feel to it and is another fun scary monster fight movie!
This is one of my fave fun movies to watch around Halloween. It's a complete monster mash and great entertainment. 😊
I remember watching this movie 🎥🍿back when it came out in 2004 for my 19th birthday and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. If you want to watch more there’s a follow up film “Van Helsing: The London Assignment”. It’s an animated film with a story set before the events of this film and it primarily focuses on what happens between Van Helsing and Mr Hyde/ Dr Jekyll.
yes absinth is flammable, you put it on a spoon full of sugar, fire it up and let it flow into a shotglass full of absinth. wait a second and then drink it.
Dwergi. No idea about Romanian myths but seeing as they are shown as dwarf artificers here i got to chime in. Originally in Swedish myths there are the early stories of Alfr (elves) and even mentioned a king of Goetaland being married to one of their daughters. Then there is a folk that lives in mountain caves and tunnels called dwergar. They more or less are dwarves as known today in Anglo-Saxon myths and in germanic myths. Notice also the linguistic connection, dwergar , dwarves in German are Zwerge then in English dwarves. In DnD games duergar are a subspecies of dwarves living deeper than the rest and are evil. Also according to some seems the whole myth about a shorter , stockier, and more resistent and often quite hairy when it comes to facial hair humanoid are derived from a lengthy struggle between homo sapiens sapiens and homo neanderthals who were shorter, more muscular, hairier...etc and this struggle lasted millenia leaving traces in myths.
This movie has the best werewolf transformation, in all history of werewolves movies.
Nailed it - 2:55 before we get the expected "That's pretty good for (insert any year before the MCU started)" comment...
One of my favorite of all times
One of my favorite Halloween movies. This movie was supposed to launch Universals “Monster Verse” but it did poorly. Because of this, the concept was killed. They tried again with the (newer) mummy movie, but it failed again. Their intent was to create a new era of monster films. But the movies did not perform well enough for them to keep going.
This is such a fun movie. Well made, just serious enough and just a bit ridiculous. Captures the essence of the old monster films and brings the new to it. Also, it cemented my life long crush on Kate Beckinsale.
Funny that you ask for a series, because in the book what the movie is based off, the medicine did not remove the curse or gift of lycanthropy. It just made Van Helsing able to control the werewolf form at will. Without the feral tendencies that come with it.
Love this movie. Yes, I tried absinthe before. Have to follow the instructions how to make it, not bad :D
P.S. I think the score of this movie might be sabotaged, just like companies buy scores for movies to make more money and look better now a days with Disney and Marvel movies. Because I see everyone everywhere saying how they liked Van Helsing. So, somethings not wright.
AND I don't believe that they could do better job today with this movie, quite the opposite actually.
There is an animated prequel to this movie. 'The London Assignment'. That tells the story of Van Helsing and Mr Hide. Queen Victoria plays a part.
So this film was intended to be a series akin to Brendan Fraser's The Mummy, and they did plan to go through more Universal Monsters, but it didn't do well enough at the box office.
There's a prequel to this that's animated and it focuses on jeckle/Hyde. Explains the hole in his arm the "Missed you in London" comment
One of my fave Halloween/vampire-werewolf movies. It came out when I was in the 6th grade and I had the entirety of the film memorized (yes I liked it that much). So glad you gentlemen enjoyed it too! Also you might not have noticed with the prosthetics but Igor is played by the same actor who played Benny from the Mummy (still an annoying twerp in this film haha)
