waste of time

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2005)

for the most part this movie was horrible. I liked the brides, and Dracula himself...i loved the scenery and the backdrops....but as for Van Helsing and his stupid leading lady...BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Hugh Jackman wasn't impressive, and Kate Beckinsale was completely awful. There acting was forced...they had no chemistry together whatsoever. I felt sorry for them, as they both looked miserable. Richard Roxburgh was the only good in this movie. He did the best that he could but what they had to work with was a complete shame. I kept hoping for him to get a chance to shine. Silvia Colloca (Verona) is absolutely beautiful. If you get a copy of this movie and watch her scenes with the television muted, you may enjoy the moments.
