Waiting for my Money Back

Rating: 3/10 (23 November 2004)

Ahh...I waited for months to see this movie, only to be truly disappointed with it in the end. The SFX were phenomenal, and Kate Beckinsale was, as always, truly a spectacle to behold, but the script was bland and boring. The werewolves were pretty cool, but Dracula was too flamboyant and Frankenstein's monster was just plain annoying. And it seemed like the movie would never end. It just kept going on and on -- desperately trying to revitalize itself, but to no avail. In the end, I was wishing Dracula would come suck my blood so that Van Helsing could hunt me down and kill me. SFX were great, but not even they could make Van Helsing anything but a waste of time.
