Comedy ?

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2004)

I watched Van Helsing after hearing a lot of critics about it. And I was really surprised ! Was the movie misunderstood ? I find it quite funny actually (the situation with Hyde/Jekyll is hilarious).
I think most people thought it was going to be an adventure story, and that happens quite often. When you think a movie has a precise genre (adventure) and it turns out being more funny, you're disappointed. I had that with From Dusk Till Down, at first I thought it was going to be a kill, kill, kill movie and when those vampires arrived I just couldn't watch it anymore ! But after a year I "tried" to watch it again, knowing it had some fantastic spirit in it, and I really liked it. For those who didn't liked Van Helsing because it wasn't adventurous enough, try to watch it again and think about it as a comedy ! You'll really enjoy it (I hope so :)
