The real monster is the director!

Rating: 3/10 (29 August 2004)

Man, I remember first hearing about a VAN HELSING movie being made... I was sooo excited. What a cool character in such a cool setting. Then I found out Stephen Sommers was directing it, and i thought about the Mummy. OH GOD NOOOO!
Now i'm not gonna hate all the way, the Mummy films were good at being a fun no-brainer popcorn-eating extravaganza... but as far as a classy-scary-suspenseful remake of a classic character, it was awful.
And so was Van Helsing. It was too much for 1 movie, a total idea overload.
Wolfman? Frank? AND Dracula???? I was waiting for Joel Schumacher to chime in w/ Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze!!!
Oh the horror (not the good kind).
please if any good directors are out there, make another van helsing film, i'll go see it. But no more cgi stephen sommer films.
