The first movie I fell asleep during... EVER!

Rating: 3/10 (8 May 2004)

There's no doubt about it, Van Helsing is the type of movie you go to see if you are extremely bored and need mindless entertainment. With that being said, you will only get this mindless entertainment if you are mindless...
Being a big fan of classic horror tales, I feel this movie butchered the awesome stories that it takes characters from. Do I think the idea was bad? Not at all, in fact, I think Stephen Sommers had an incredible idea for this movie, but it wasn't pulled off. The animation wasn't believable in the least, and the acting (with exception of Jackman) was disturbingly bad. Not giving much away, there is a scene where a womans brother dies, and the only form of sadness she can show is a slight frown. I honestly don't plan on seeing this movie again... except maybe to see the 5 minutes I zoned out.
