Dark, very dark.

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2004)

Van Helsing was one of the biggest blockbusters in the 2004. A very dark film, featuring vampires werewolves, monsters and other creatures from the European literature and mythology. I was disapointed by this film. The settings looked completly aritfitial, the monsters looked totally fake, the make up and the cinematography where very good, Hugh's performance sucked and this is actually evidenced of his lack of talent. Kate was better, but still her performance was very bad. But the main flaw of this film is the bloody script. Dracula is probably one of the riches myths, and novels from Europe, filled with symbolism, and mainly is about an "anti-Christ" that is immortal, and that he lives drinking blood. Filled with dark and religious symbolism is one of the best myths ever. Frankesnstain is contrast it a story, (By Mary Shelly) about playing god, about turning dead to live, about resurection (artifitial). Together those three stories make a lame , stupid film, with great visual effects, but stupid.
