van helsing is an action packed spectacle with basic story.

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2004)

I watched van helsing at the cinema after the mixed reviews my expectations were it should be enjoyable at the least, boy was i suprised it sets itself up very quickly and then on with the effects packed setpieces which are fab. if you enjoy comic strip style cgi action movies with plot that is kept to a minimum, but enough to get you envolved this is top notch popcorn cinema. hopefully sequels will follow as i have no doubt this will clean up at the box office, hugh jackmans acting skills are hardly stretched in the movie and richard roxbura is camp but a pretty good dracula, mimics gary olddman a little though. go see have fun.
