A terrible end...

Rating: 4/10 (13 June 2004)

I loved the special effects in this film. And Hugh Jackman is the best cast for the role of Van Helsing. But the Americans have the bad habit to destroy the entire film with the too sentimental ends of their films! Why do they do that? It is too slushy and that irritates. The role of Dracula is a bit miscast. He does not play it very mysterious and he does not look dangerous in all scenes. Kate Beckinsale plays very good as well. She has not been the wallflower she was in "Pearl Harbor" and she looks well trained! Hollywood may give her more roles of this kind. She acts more mysterious than Dracula and his brides together!
