Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: pretty good Comment: good story, nice colors. animation is a tad stiff. i also like his helper is the same voice as the movie, the quirky funny guy. if it's not him, it's a dead on take of his voice. pretty good watch for such a low price (I got if for about half of what's listed here at traM-laW Customer Rating: Summary: A New Opening Comment: The Van Helsing movie opens with Van Helsing in a final battle with Mr. Hyde in Paris. This short animated adventure tells you how he got to that point. Van Helsing and Carl travel to London to investigate some sinister killings of young prostitutes. But the chase leads to far more complex plots than just the killing on young women. Van Helsing gets tied up in a plot that involved Dr. Jekyll who is physician to Queen Victoria. The not-so-good doctor is obsessed with the Queen and has devised a plot to further his own ends with her. As we know from the full-length movie, Mr. Hyde manages to get to Paris. I won't reveal who the battles progress or the details of the plot but I found it to be rather entertaining. Other than Mr. Hyde being huge (taken from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) unlike in Stevenson's book where Hyde is smaller than Jekyll, the story doesn't twist his tale as much as that of Dracula in the longer feature. The animation is clean and the voices are true (Hugh Jackman and others from the feature film). If you enjoyed the feature film then you are sure to enjoy this one as it is very true to the movie (other than Carl being in the field). Check it out. Customer Rating: Summary: Van Helsing Comment: I rate this cartoon movie at three stars, but the documentary is worthy of 5 stars. Its actually worth the price just for the documentary. Its basically a great making of feature about the 2004 Van Helsing film. Customer Rating: Summary: good Comment: This movie is reasonably good. It's something to watch when you're bored but don't want to sit through a long, gritty movie. The London Assignment is short, sweet, and packs quite a bit into it. Customer Rating: Summary: "Van-Fluff", the perfect way to describe it. Comment: This over all prequel to motion picture is just an overblown fluff piece that could have been saved or perhaps will show up on the eventual DVD release of Van Helsing. The animation feature is nicely done and the sound is great. The supliments are more or less a kind of press junket for te feature film follow-up. At only a half-hour running time, you wish it was at least 80 mins. Hugh Jackman and the cast provide voice talent to bring this 'teaser' to life. Rating: 3 1/2 stars out of 5 More Reviews
