Description:
Sir Integra reluctantly invites Maxwell from the Vatican’s Iscariot Division to a Roundtable conference with the Queen. Integra desperately needs to collect any information regarding the Millennium, the remnants of a secret Nazi battalion made entirely of 'undead' monsters. Suddenly, the Millennium’s leader, the Major, audaciously interrupts the conference to declare war against Britain and the Hellsing Organization. Amidst the panicking Roundtable members, Arucard seems completely amused by the reunion with the Major, whom he thought he has destroyed more than half a century ago. He puts a bullet through the emissary’s forehead as he replies to the Major, 'I can’t wait to destroy you again!' –A war of Nightmares is about to be unleashed into the unsuspecting London night…

Rating:  - Just lacking
I am a big Hellsing fan, but this one was terrible. There was hardly any action due to the constant babbling from the characters, especially from the antagonist leader who gives a an unneeded five minute speech at the very end.
Rating:  - War games are fun
The Good Things
*Excellent video/sound quality.
*This version of "Hellsing" has excellent imagery and graphics. It includes a lot of computer-generated-imagery, but none of it looks too hoaky or out-of-place. It is definately high quality animation.
*Excellent amount of bloody action. Some of the scenes in this volume are downright awesome. Also includes a few comical moments.
*Storyline is great. It is close to the original manga. It has also accelerated in momentum, thrusting the whole Millennium Group story arc into the saga in a way that is very revealing and cohesive.
*Characters are splendid. All of the main characters are still great. The characters of the Millennium group are now introduced, and are a very interesting group to watch. The main enemy in this one (Rip Van Wrinkle) is fun to watch (although she doesn't put up much of a fight against Alucard).
*Some good lines throughout.
*Funky music (although I think the music in the old "Hellsing" show was better).
The Bad Things
*Not for the sqeamish; contains lots of bloody violence and swearing (rated TV-MA).
*A lot of stuff is packed into a single hour. As fast and condensed as everything is, it may be seen as overly compressed with not enough exposition.
The Other Things
*If you buy the single-disc version, you get little or no special features. The two-disc steelbook edition (although more expensive) includes a small wealth of interviews, ... Read More
Rating: - "Guess what I just caught?"
The darkest, deepest, most disturbing volume in the Hellsing Ultimate series. Easily the best! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and maybe cringe a little bit too...
Rating: - "Who is it that guarantees your God's sanity?"
The fourth chapter of the anime at the very top of my current "drooling in anticipation of every release" title is finally here and it delivers. After some truly obnoxious and distracting humor took the black sails out the last volume, I'm happy to say that that this one is relatively goof-free, though not perfect. If you've ever thought that the characters of Hellsing are not the strong point, you are about to be schooled. While there is no shortage of gore and murderously exciting (though brief) action scenes, this chapter chooses to expand the story,raise the tension, and introduce a cavalcade of new warriors into the ring. The villains get their due this time around. In fact, the last ten minutes is nearly entirely devoted to a spectacularly mad speech given by the Millennium organization's leader, The Major; a man Alucard put down half a century ago during WWII. Millennium's goal is chaos. Bringing the world to it's knees starting with Britain by realizing the Third Reich's plan of a vampire army. "Hellsing Ultimate: Volume 4" gives us the declaration of war, and it's opening skirmish with Great Britain's defenders from the supernatural, the Hellsing organization.
The film opens with Alucard phoning Integra. Not to say hi, mind you, but to continue his taunting of his master about the human bloodbath she ordered in Volume 3. But it turns out that there is one human that the No Life King respects: the Queen herself, who he meets not for the first time at a roundtable conference ... Read More
