Waste of money

Rating: 3/10 (22 May 2004)

This movie has exactly two good thingies in it: the talent of Hugh Jackman and the nice looks of Kate Beckinsale. The rest - well, no story, awful effects...I should have spended the money elsewhere. For a movie that was that expensive it looks like a B-Movie. It also feels like one. It was a great idea somehow. To bring all the old monsters together, against a newish Van Helsing. Besides him, a beautiful lady with a real task. But the director wasn't able to do anything good with the script which as well was full of holes. If there just were good special effects, then i would have said, great action movie. But even this failed. The guys of ILM didn't have their best day at all.
