Fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2004)

Van Helsing is everything that I hoped it would be. Awesome visual effects and tongue and cheek humor (much like The Mummy movies). The acting is superb and it never allows itself to be taken too seriously. Well done to all involved. For those of us who are Hugh Jackman lovers, he NEVER disappoints! A wonderful scene in nothing but some shredded underclothes (no shirt; no pants)!!! WHAT A PHYSICAL SPECIMAN HE IS!!! There are no sexual scenes (some sensual behavior from the vampire brides - some innuendos otherwise) - no filthy language and no real gory parts - excellent movie. Rating is accurate as some children may experience nightmares because of monsters.
