Disappointing.

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2005)

I sat down to watch this film partly because IMDb users thought it's not as bad as the professional critics say. I generally find myself disagreeing with the professional critics but in this case I couldn't agree more. In the middle of the film it seemed like a torture to continue watching. There was no solid plot, the screenplay is as crampy as possible, the CGI effects were laughable and I don't know, this movie has the most annoying Count Dracula ever portrayed in film. Hugh Jackman portrays the lead character with some kind of "Helsing... Van Helsing" style with Bond-like gadgets (wow, he also has a Q). Kate Beckinsale fitted much better into a vampire role (Selena) than this vampire-killer stuff. In all, it was a very very disappointing film.
