Terrific Sound score, great entefrtainment.

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2004)

This is a film that takes a lot of liberties but is great entertainment. I went back to the cinema three times just I could hear the audio score at full volume. The music is fantastic and the film basically does not stop for breath. Dracula is superb and Helsing is played with more than a little tongue in cheek.
The church sends Helsing on a mission to wipe out Dracula and gives him a helper who is obviously modeled on Q from James Bond. A film buff will recognize many of the borrowed scenes  a stagecoach chase scene that is reminiscent of John Wayne and cliff edge scenes that reminded me of the many cliff falls that appeared in the roadrunner cartoons.
The acting was great and the film tears along at breakneck pace with an ending that has a real twist, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
