Hmmmmm

Rating: 4/10 (2 June 2004)

Went to see this film last weekend after being disappointed that we couldn't get tickets to go see 'The Day After Tomorrow' because it had sold out! So instead of going home, we decided to see 'Van Helsing'. Hmmmm.......what can I say? Interesting concept, very good effects and make up and of course costume but on the whole, it was a cross between 1950s 'b' movies and comic strip stories. The director had thrown out the rule book on the origins of Dracula, Frankenstein, etc and has put them all into one film. Was entertaining but won't be buying it on DVD when it is inevitably released in the UK. The best thing I can say about it is the vampires where kick-ass!!
