*** out of *****
In the history of bad sci-fi movie scripts, this one is atrocious. I could barely follow the story or the logic to it when I usually have little trouble with strange logic, so I pretty much sat back and watched the action pyrotechnics. Whoa! The helicopter-motorcycle chase, the library fight scene, and the climatic flaming sword fight were worth the cost of rental alone. Also on the plus side, Mila Jovovich managed to make the terrible dialouge they gave her engaging and even a bit convincing: she'd definately pass the "phonebook test". Good movie if your head is in a mess and you just need some fun eyecandy to watch to get your mind off your troubles for a bit.
Also have watched the first episode of the "Hellsing" OVA and I found a fansub of episodes 2 and 3 (though the fansubs were not as much fun. No Crispin Freeman as the voice of Alucard. :: Pouts:: )
