King Kong Original Routs Van Helsing Bomb

Rating: 4/10 (8 May 2004)

I viewed Van Helsing here in the Czech Republic where the movie was filmed. What a disappointment! I knew the movie was in trouble when the Czech movie goers began walking out after 30 minutes into the movie. My 17 year old son who talked me into going to the movie with him was speechless as we walked out of the theater after two hours of mind numbing sound effects, lame dialogue, incongruent special effects, totally unbelievable stunts, redundant action sequences and the list goes on. "Dad, how can Universal spend 150 million dollars and produce such junk?" "Son, when your target audience is an 11 year old, what do you expect?" My time would have been better spent watching the new Olsen twin movie with my 14 year old daughter. Enough said.
