Van Helsing: The London Assignment

Had a lot of fun with this and its extra dark magical twist on the Dr Jekyl and Mr. Hyde story. Where Dr. Jekyll is the physician to Queen Victoria and Mr. Hyde is having a fun time being Jack the Ripper. Hugh Jackman and David Wenham both lend their voices to their respective movie characters. I feel they did a decent enough job at voice acting, they didn't sound too stiff or unenthusiastic in their delivery. My only problem personally, might just be with how the animators were clearly trying too hard to recreate Van Helsing's look. The style and fluidity of the action meanwhile are great. But overall its a good quick adventure leading up to the beginning of the live action film. Where it doesn't even drop any kind of references that only come up in the live action so it exists as its own thing. A definite recommendation for anyone whether you have or haven't seen Van Helsing.

i loved it .it makes sense now as to why ,he had to take down mr hyde. regarding the live action van helsing movie.

Reminds me a lot of just about all superhero cartoons. Interesting mixture of American animation and Japanese coloring and pencils, enhanced with computer animation (very cool!). The story is a little stretched, and doesn't make much sense (concerning the reason Hyde would want to make the queen younger; hello, he's still an old fart headed to a grave), but it held my interest and was nicely traditional but original. The dialogue is usually pretty clever, even Hyde gets in a few funny lines. The action is refreshingly American, meaning no stupid "action lines" in the background, or still action. Using Robbie Coltrane and Hugh Jackman (not to mention Dave Wenham) as primary voices added star power, and Jackman does a good job (you can feel his voice and personality overtake the animated Van Helsing). The special features (including a making of the game featurette, which shows them converting the movie story to the game, and some sweet action scenes; a making of the movie featurette, which is good enough to be included on the motion picture itself, even if Josie Moran is extremely irratating; the animatics can only be appreciated by animators themselves). The interviews with Hugh Jackman are a nice insight into the character of Van Helsing, as well as Jackman himself. Interesting stuff, even if a little "fluffy", as one reviewer put it. Overall, worth at least a rental (I bought it). A valuable addition to your collection of Van Helsing items, and fun to watch (over and over again in my case; 4 times in the rental period).

well i have the game on original xbox and the dvd and loved them both, so i figured i'd order this third dvd which is actually the prequel to complete the series. as for enjoyment, well , just look at the rating.

Great prequel to van helsing. Great anime. Plus it's. Graat action. Hugh Jackmon. Did a excellent voice over. You guys will enjoy it

Great movie, watched it 8 times all ready

I didn't even know that this even existed until recently. As soon as I found out about it I had to get the dvd and was not disappointed in my purchase. Was in good condition and works perfectly.

WOW, this movie really caught me by surprise. Love Hugh Jackman, love Van Helsing. Was really impressed by all the action, lots of guns and grappling hooks, he used them in live action film but quickly lost them to make room for other gadgets. Wasn't too impressed by the run time of only 33 minutes but for a good price you can't go wrong.

fatal, audio no en español, y no es del reino unido, es americano y por tanto no se reproduce en un reproductor normal

全体的に作画はアレですが、映画よりも面白い！プロローグ的ストーリーでもあるので、映画版ＤＶＤとセットにするべき！

Case came kinda beat up, but the disc plays fine. It doesn’t take up the whole screen, but it’s watchable. I think I prefer it to the movie, honestly!
