Interesting Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2011)

Through the first half hour of the film, I could not tell if I was going to like or hate this film. It has such a great premise but the execution for the first part was horrid. Not to mention that the guy who played Dracula was horrible. Then for the final hour and a half, I enjoyed the movie.
If you like the old horror movies from the 1930's, you will certainly like this. It's about Van Helsing, the vampire hunter whose mission is to kill Dracula.
Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale were the highlights of the film. They are both talented actors. However, I though Richard Roxburgh was miscast as Dracula. He played a pretty bad Dracula.
Overall, this is a pretty good special-effects laden film. Is it worthy of an 8? I don't think so but I gave it one to bring the overall IMDb rating up.
