Oh dear!!

Rating: 1/10 (1 September 2004)

Oh dear, oh dear, never mess with legends. Utter nonsense. Rubbish I mean, for god's sake, if you're going to cast KATE BECKINSALE don't expect anything but rubbish. The only redeeming features of this film are Hugh Jackman, always charming, and the rather fit sisters/brides of Dracula, which ever title they gave them in this dire production. Starts off quite interesting, and then oh of course, Van Helsing fights Dr. Jekyll and his alter ego, in NOTRE DAME!! Absurd! Why not have him fight the hunchback- at least that would make sense. Oh and then of course, there is always the fact that Frankenstein has the power or whatever to bring Dracula's children to life- this is all becoming too much of a joke. There is also the genius of capturing sunlight in a ball, my god how many times have we seen that; it's so far from being an original trick that the last time I remember seeing it was in Buffy (TV). All in all, this is laughable, possibly the worst thing, i say thing as it is not just the worst film I've ever seen, it's the worst thing that ever existed. Laughable.
