Van Helsing, a stunning movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2006)

Well, most of my friends hate this movie, but come on, it's great! ^^ Lol, it's got not just vampires, like most vampire movies these days, but Frankenstein's monster, a more convincing Dracula, Dr Jekyll/Hyde (Matter of personal opinion what you call him eh?) and more. The Vatican is an interesting touch, gave me a good laugh. It starts off the film in black and white, so you know it's the past, not the present, and it is true to both Dracula, by Bram Stroker, and Frankenstein to some extent. It provides laughs, moral issues, and hide behind the sofa moments to please any taste, and with the animated prequel, The London Assignment, what more could you want? However, much as I love the film, I was so confused over the whole Angel Gabriel affair that I just rented the book from the library today. In the book, he introduces himself as Gabriel Van Helsing near the end. So, 10 out of 10 to this awesome film, and ciaos!
