Van HELLYES!!! Not bad at all!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2004)

I was very skeptical of this film since the reviews I read on IMDb were well, not very good. Then I got to thinking about Hugh Jackman in all his sexiness slaying monsters and I thought, "Hey, why the hell not?" And as it turns out, it was a pretty good film. Will Hugh be up for an Oscar any time soon? No..but it was entertaining all the same and it was worth the $4.50 I paid to see it. He delivered quite the performance and Kate Beckinsale did well too. I didn't feel that is was drawn out and boring like some of the reviews had said. I felt it was entertaining the whole way through and I liked that the whole movie wasn't exactly based on slaying and that it had aspects of romance and friendship as well. I give it 8* out of 10* and I would recommend seeing it. All in all, to me, Van Helsing was more like Van HELLYES!
