Everything I could expect in a good movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2008)

I don't know what is wrong with people, I personally thought Van Helsing was one of the best action/adventure movies I have ever seen. It's a very cohesive and engaging storyline, and the special effects and conflicts between the protagonists and antagonists are pretty riveting. The wittiness of Carl the aspiring monk is very crafty and amusing, and the Frankenstein monster, the way he is devised to be so horrific-looking yet benevolent at the same time, is quite disarming. Even the ending adds a unique twist to the story that makes it likable to me. The popular rating for this movie gives it the impression that that the movie is a bomb, but I think people aren't doing it justice personally.
