Excellent Adventure

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2004)

In May, 2004, I watched the opening screening of Van Helsing in Rio de Janeiro. It was a very joyful event, with the promoters team dressed with the costumes of the film and distributing crucifixes and worm shaped candies. In that occasion, I loved this movie. Last week, Van Helsing was released on DVD and last Friday I saw this movie again. My opinion is exactly the same: Van Helsing is a spectacular adventure, full of special effects, having very funny moments, and with very unfair reviews. I am very curious with these contradictory point of views, since practically all my friends and colleagues who saw 'Van Helsing' love this movie and share my opinion; the DVD is full of extras and is one of the top ten in the lists of the most sold DVDs in Brazil; therefore, I do not understand why the high number of bad reviews. My vote is again ten.
Title (Brazil): 'Van Helsing, O Caçador de Monstros' ('Van Helsing, The Hunter of Monsters')
