Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2004)

Just saw it tonight.. and you don't get much more than you'd expect. Which is good in most ways. Hugh Jackman is perfect for the role.

The bads: some of the accents are terribly overdone and/or way out of place. They changed the dracula story slightly (not on the original Vlad the Impaler, at least not quite... the guys name was Vlad, though) The dialog from the "brides" was mostly TERRIBLE. But hey, they're she-devils, so what... I could be (more of?) an obsessive critic and take the point of watching a movie out films, but I won't. I only mention those cons because they really got my attention. Others may not mind the accents...
The rest, even the excessive swinging from ropes, (plenty of "yeah right!" but big deal... the whole "Dracula/Frankenstein/Wolfman plot is a whole bit of that, isn't it? ..so no use complaining) was good fun. A good mix between Indiana Jones and the classic supernaturals, as well as some humour. At first when I saw that werewolves and Dr. Frankenstein were going to be in this I groaned, but they were written into the plot fairly well.
Overall... a B+.
