Spal watched Van Helsing today too, I saw most of it, for the third time. It's NOT horror...that's the key point. It's a monster flick in the style of the films that MAY have scared people many a year ago. At this point, it's more of an action adventure, and if you accept it as that, it's pretty enjoyable.
Just watched the first 2/3 of the neverending story, original.
This would have to be one of the best fantasy films ever...cool characters, visually brilliant, with a great score. Good storyline, interesting magical characters, and a nice dark edge to it. It really is a shame how much the unneccessary sequels assfucked the frenchise. I mean, sure, 2 was "ok", but the cartoon, the series, the dreadful #3?? fuck no.
I actually heard there was a fourth...I'd be interested to know if anyone here has seen THAT, but I've little interest in following up on this myself.
