Van Helsing is a good Film.

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2009)

Even if I've read so many bad comments about this Film, I'm able to say that in Italy it was a success. The plot is very original, and is simple to follow, therefore it is in a way different from the other films about vampires, werewolves and "monsters". Obsviously there's always the same theme: fight between good and evil, but I've to admit the locations are really weird and the film has - in my humble opinion - an high level starring, apart from some bit players. Anyways, I saw the film twice: the first time in 2005 and the second one last year, and it was still exciting, I enjoyed so much watching it, and if anybody asked me to spend a night watching it again, I would: it's always a pleasure to watch this film, it's a mix of adventure, action and legendary creatures (Dracula, for example). So, if you're looking for an original and simple film, which has the mythical or the magical element and you like action and fantasy this one's for you. Of course this is not a colossal, but I think that it's incredible how it has such a low rating. I can firmly assort that many films which are marked as awesome or outstanding - I don't wanna mention them - are rather worse than this one.
