Disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2006)

Terrible acting. Terrible accents. Terrible costumes. Terrible wigs. Terrible writing. The only thing that redeemed this movie at all was that Hugh Jackman did a decent job as Van Helsing (though I still think there's quite a bit of room for improvement) and the fact that it's an interesting concept and attempts to pay homage to the oldschool horror films, which is very cool. If somebody had gotten ahold of the script and filled in the plot holes, tamed the random wit, and given the movie some purpose... then it could've been great. Well, they would've had to fire 90% of the cast too (particularly Kate Beckinsale and whoever it was that played Dracula)... AND the costume designer.
