If it wasn't for Hugh Jackman...

Rating: 4/10 (12 June 2004)

If it wasn't for Hugh Jackman, this movie will go down as one of the poorly-made movies ever. It was pretty good at first. We've got this guy with superhuman strength commissioned by the church to fight off the bad guys. Pretty good so far. And then he was sent to kill Dracula. And he teamed up with Kate Beckinsale, that's when it started going downhill. It didn't match up with the main premise. The movie had a great premise, but it seemed Sommers couldn't quite connect with it. I loved how he manipulated the stories of Frankenstein, Dracula and werewolves and made it a good twist to the story. I didn't like how he developed Jackman and Beckinsale's characters though. And the ending made me laugh out loud. It was either that or cry from frustration. I chose to laugh. But it's a great action movie, just don't watch it for the script.
