This movie sucks

Rating: 1/10 (13 May 2004)

The one line summary basically sums up my feelings about this film. I went into Van Helsing hoping that it would be a great way to start off the long awaited summer movie season. Instead, I got the ultimate peice of S*** that is not worth viewing even once. (I snuck out and went to see some of Kill Bill at one point.)
One way to describe Van Helsing is that it is lke a Johnny Depp movie, the only reason you might want to see it is because of Depp's prescence. In this case, that honor goes to leading man Hugh "Wolverine" Jackman. he does a pretty good job playing the average demon hunter. Other than that, well, the film is basically an accident waiting to happen.
Terrible acting and sub-par effects don't come close to the amount of familiar scenery and concepts that I have seen in other films. If you've seen Blade, Blade II, Mortal Kombat 2 and The Lord of the Rings 3, you've seen alot of Van Helsing before.
In short, this flick should be shipped directly to video & DVD and used for target practice. Definantly one of the worst movies ever made.
P.S. Richard Roxburgh needs some help with his Transylvanian accent.
