why oh why aren't there real vampires????

Rating: 1/10 (7 May 2004)

they could hunt sommers down to prevent him from making a sequel to van helsing.... this movie is bad...not only bad its worse. i knew it would be bad, but i believed universal to be wise enough to not develop pure moviecrap...but instead they did! wow, at least interesting. i heard rumors real actors had been involved in van helsing, but i haven't seen any. there is someone who is giving "paleface" a new meaning. i believe him to be someone called hugh jackman and really acting in at least one other movie. his sidekicks beckinsale and wenham are far from beeing worthy to mention. oh and another dummy playing dracula, he at least is funny, cause he is everything else but dracula and this is giving the character dracula a complete fascinating and new meaning. he looks like a highly embarassed kid playing his hateful part in a cheap schoolplay. you could take pity on roxburgh if he hasn't been paid for this. the cgi is like a monster itself too big, too ugly, too loud, but poor thing he's not even scary hes just ridiculous-a complete waste. as the rest of the movie. the score is near to be a pure punishment, spanish guitars in a vampiremovie is too much! i recommend this movie to every moviestudent whose idol is one of those action-monster-why bother over story and quality?-directors to get to see first hand what never to do when making a film. everyone....please stay away go see everything else but this one!
