Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2004)

Van Helsing, one of My most anticipated movies and it was everything that I thought it would be and more! I think the film is a great one! Everyone one who is in this movie acted very good. Hugh Jackman was great as Van Helsing. He was very believable! Kate Beckinsale also was good and her accent was cool. Richard Roxburgh was excellent and he arguably had the best performance and his look as Dracula was neat. Shuler Hensley was great as Frankenstein's Monster! Samuel West was also great as Dr. Frankenstein and it was outstanding how much he looked like Colin Clive! Kevin J. O'Connor was also great as Igor. Will Kemp was good as the Werewolf. The three Brides played by Elena Anaya, Silvia Colloca, and Josie Maran were excellent and they have a lot of screen time. It is amazing how they look in their vampire forms! Robbie Coltrane was good as Mr. Hyde! Also in good performances are Alun Armstrong and David Wenham. I just couldn't believe how great this movie is. The beginning of it is incredible! The sound is spectacular and I can't recall a film with sound like this! The musical score by Alan Silvestri is phenomenal! Arguably the greatest score he has ever written and in My opinion one of the greatest scores ever! The special effects are awesome and in My opinion everything looks real! The directing by Stephen Sommers is great! I think Van Helsing is one of the best movies and truly one of the most exciting films. If you like the cast mentioned above, love Sommer's The Mummy films, and want to see some incredible action involving Van Helsing, Dracula, Werewolves, Frankenstein's Monster, Mr. Hyde, Dracula's Brides, and more then I strongly recommend that you do what I did and buy this excellent movie today!
