A new generation hero in an old universe

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2004)

Van Helisng... a name with a sharp hum and a man with a holly mission-to be God's Left Hand of justice against the ancient and forgotten evil which still lingers on. He's the only one whose name scatters the dark creatures ...But who is he really? Well, he's not some sort of saint or preacher; the great thing about Van Helsing, as with the movie, is the breath of fresh air it provides. Van Helsing has his own worries and private quests, which he puts aside in favor of his duty. Although faced with diabolical foes, he doesn't lose his optimism, he doesn't give up, not even when things take a turn for the worse, finding help in true friendships and answers in the questions themselves. Overall the movie is a new spin of the old tale, where the monsters, no matter how dark and rash, have hearts of their own and even worries and the heroes, no matter how right or just, can still make mistakes like all of us. A wonderful display of state of the art special effects and breathtaking sets, clever lines and one masterpiece of a soundtrack! Funny, dark, emotional and dynamic, but not violent or pathetic, 'Van Helsing' is the movie to watch if you're looking for a change!...
