[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 1540766, member: 633"] Pretty good and enjoyable! I gave it a 7. Quality mindless entertainment. Loses three points due to holey plot, lack of character development, and uninteresting dialogues. It's interesting to notice how many 1s (and 10s) there are on the poll. One would expect a more normal distribution. Then again, the same thing happens with Lord of the Rings. I think many people just don't know how to rate something.1/10? You are saying that "Mario Bros" is better than or equal to "Van Helsing". You are saying that "Dungeons & Dragons" is better than or equal to "Van Helsing". You are saying that the friggin' House of the Dead movie is better than or equal to "Van Helsing". You are saying that it is [i]physically impossible[/i] to make a movie substantially worse than "Van Helsing". You don't understand how a scale works, or you haven't seen many movies at all. Either way I don't think you'd make a good reviewer. The lowest score I can possibly understand for "Van Helsing" is a 4. The highest is 9. Below or above these, I think people are just exaggerating for the sake of it. Or to make themselves look like great film critics - after all, slamming a CGI-based action flick for having no plot or characters is easy. Next time, we'll slam Godfather for lack of CGI and martial arts, ok? [/QUOTE]
