A truly fantastic film that feeds your lust for action

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2004)

Having just seen it tonight when this review was originally being wrote, I couldn't help but be inspired by the dynamic and professional CGI used in this film, not to mention keeping the originality of the story the same as the myth/legend which makes the film 'inform' you about the history of Transylvania and the origins of Van Helsing and the Vampires.
As said by the user proceeding this review, it starts out as Frankenstein; originally played by Boris Karloff in the older films being created by a mad scientist under the counts employ. The Frankenstein is the key for the Count's children to have eternal life only all doesn't go to plan.
He is hunted down by villagers who resent and despise evil and the undead so therefore the Frankenstein is inevitably pursued by these and the ending for him in the beginning is not nice.
Anyhow, a year later, a certain Van Helsing; know for being a murderer and wanted is of Holy origin whom has had his memory washed away for reasons and has been training by monks, friars and any followers of the Vatican.
Then he is assigned to help the family who have been fighting Dracula for more than 400 years, the last descendant of this holy family is Anna; strong willed women to carry out her laid out duties. Soon, they find out a secret the count has that links Van Helsing and Anna together... you can find that out watching the movie. All in all you will not be disappointed by the action, dramatical depth to the storyline, the CGI effects, scenes that will make you jump like me, the comedy has reference to "A La James Bond Style", especially with the Igor who quaintly played Benny in "The Mummy" which if you loved then this film is the one for you.
