I don't think you're going to get blood and gore though. I'm pretty sure it's pg-13.

i want gore!!
 

great! PG-13 huh?...in my opininon a movie about Helsing needs to be rated R, maybe even NC-17...with lots of blood, gore, decapitations, mutalations...etc....

Re: i want gore!!
 

I agree whole-heartedly, but I think they are trying to get the youngsters in the theater too. The lower rating you have, the more money you have access to. It sucks.

The anime didnt do it for me at all. The idea of a Jazzy, Upbeat, cheerfull Dracula using human made guns as weapons seems sorta off to me. Dracula should have certain integrity and honor about him i think. Just my 0.02

Ah god...
 

Don't remind me of the anime, my ex beau lives in Yorkshire. I shipped him the box set for his birthday...two days later we split and I was like, I wasted 100 quid on you. Asshole.

I do want to see the movie, however.

Van Helsing is Universal's resurrection of the classic monsters in one movie. Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and The Wolf Man haven't been seen together "officially" since 1948's Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein.

I would imagine that Universal, in their attempt to revitalize the franchise, would want to make it appealing to a wide range, especially younger viewers. I suspect the rating to be no worse than PG-13.

For anyone who's interested, the Van Helsing trailer will premiere tonight during Entertainment Tonight. If you miss, it will be at the Apple site sometime tomorrow.

Well, it's up. And to tell you the truth, it didn't do that much for me.
