one wild ride

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2008)

i don't understand the low rating for(5.4/10)for this movie on this site.i thoroughly enjoyed myself throughout.the basic Gist of the story is this:Van Helsing takes on Count Dracula,The Wolf Man,and the Frankenstein Monster in one adventure.what more could you ask for?this is one fast paced thrill ride,with spectacular action and fight sequences.Hugh Jackman is Van Helsing,and makes the character larger than life.Kate Beckinsale is Anna Valerious,whose family has for centuries tried to rid the world of evil.she teams up with Van Helsing,and the sparks fly.there is no denying the chemistry between the two.i wouldn't call this a scary movie,but it is very intense at times,and a bit morbid.it doesn't take itself seriously though,which works in this case.for me,Van Helsing is an 8/10
