First of all I am a huge fan of the Universal Studios Monsters,and I`ve been waiting for a resurrection of them. Sommers was just the man to do this. The film starts in B&W very clever,and a tribute to the Monsters. The plot Dracula needs the electric forces of the Frankenstein Monster to resurect his offspring,his weapon to protect him,The Wolfman. Yet he has to fear the great monster hunter Gabriel Van Helsing,who in this version is a tool of God,and is played by Hugh Jackman,who did last years brilliant X2:X-Men United.He is not a science doctor.He works for a secret agency formed by The Catholic Church sworn to rid evil. His Q like assitant is Frair Carl,played hilariously by Lord of the Ring's David Wenham. They go to Transylvania to stop Dracula,and his brides from resurrecting their offspring.
Van Helsing is fun,and action packed. Sommers has brought back life,and fun into the monsters. It is very entertaining,everyone will love it. And cant the bashers,just except that this is a film for popcorn purposes not to be the next Acadmey Award winner for 04!?
4/4,But hey its just my opinion!
