Boring, loud and obnoxious

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2004)

Being a fan of the classic Universal horror pictures, I was both dreading and looking forward to, this movie. I walked out after one hour. Loud, no sense of direction, dark, horrible CGI and terrible acting. Particularly on the part of Richard Roxburgh as Dracula. The "brides" were laughable. The Wolfman was a total waste. Another example of too much CGI, not enough real makeup. I'd rather watch The Howling. Most of the CGI scenes were dark scenes, especially the Wolfman scenes....always a sign of trouble.

I recommend avoiding this film and sticking with the classics. Go get the Monster Collection DVD and see the difference between great cinema (The Bride Of Frankenstein) and this wretched waste of time (Van Helsing).
