Could be better

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2004)

After leaving the cinema, i couldn't help but to have un answered questions in my head about this film. OK the story line wasn't great, or was it because i was trying to compare it to "the league of extraordinary gentlemen" which is why i didn't enjoy it as much as i would of liked to. to be fair to hugh jackman i thought he played his part very well, as he has done in x-men 1 & 2 and i thought he was brilliant in swordfish. I must comment on the special effects as with most films now a days they were second to none i really like the scene in notre damm where our hero dr. van helsing is in chase of mr hyde where they finally come face to face with each other before a fight breaks out, the effects of that are fantastic but overall its the story that counts and I'm afraid to say in my view, the story line did let it down, it could have been a much better film.
