Van Helsing should go down in history as one of the greatest movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2005)

From the moment the movie started i knew it was soon to be my favourite. From the moment it begins to the moment it ends, the action never stops. From fighting a cross between the hunchback of notre-dame in Paris, to fighting count Dracula in his castle. I was astounded by how well the opening scene was choreographed with state of the art, special affects from the word go. there is never a glum moment, whether its Anna Valerious (KATE BECKINSALE) sprinting through the woods trying to escape from a CGI werewolf of its Van Helsing (HUGH JACKMAN) trying to shoot down three of Dracula's hideous air-born vampire wives with his mechanical bow and arrow in Transylvania. There are also many other astounding action scenes including, Anna's (Kate Beckinsale)brother turned into a werewolf after getting bitten by another while trying to save Anna, Count Dracula (RICHARD ROXBURGH, excellent acting) or the one, the only, Frankinstein's monster! You may be thinking its going to be trashy (stupid action constantly with no story) but you would be wrong. Van Helsing is sent to Transelvania to end the curse of the Valerious family by killing Dracula. Overall, Stephen Sommers (THE MUMMY, THE MUMMY RETURNS) has exceeded even his two previous blockbuster titles. I give Van Helsing a rating of 10. I have also received information that there will soon be a Van Helsing 2. (CAN'T WAIT!)
