Typical Hollywood monster movie.

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2004)

Van Helsing was a typical Hollywood monster movie. It could have been much more, the basic idea is good. Van Helsing is interesting character and i think that Dracula is a good choice to be the "Bad guy".
Actors in this movie were all right, Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale and Richard Roxburgh were good but not anything special. David Wenham, the monk, was really good, he was funny and he didn't overacted.
The plot was boring and typical, kill the bad vampire and save the girl etc, something was missing. Special effects where OK. Flying brides of Dracula were nice.
All in all this movie was a bit of disappointment to me. But it's not a completely bad movie. If you want simple monster killing action with good actors, watch this movie.
