Give the film a break

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2004)

I've seen a lot of movies that I've loved but got terrible reviews on imdb, but Van Helsing really doesn't deserve all the hassle it's getting. It's either some people say the CGI or terrible or over done (make up your mind people). Or people compared it to the black and white classics, yes, they were very good movies, but Van Helsing is a completely different type of movie. You can tell by just looking at it, I can't understand how either can be compared. For the strangest reasons, you get people complaining about the logic in a movie about Vampires, Werewolves and a Frankenstein monster. Find the logic in that pile of nonsense.
I've waited to see this movie ever since it was in casting phase, my expectations were very high, and I wasn't let down. I loved almost every aspect of the film, apart from the ending. **Spoiler*** The faces in the sky were just way too cheesy for even me, it really would of been a better ending if that one scene were cut out. ***End Spoiler*** I love the creativity they gave to the monsters, a person shedding there skin, and the Frankenstein monster's electricity. Though sometimes, Frakenstein's character seemed a tad bit over done, as if he were performing in a shakespearian play. That was my only beef with the movie, and I would recommend it to anyone who just wants to have a good time at the movies.

If you want to see an award winner, go buy Lost in Translation. By Van Helsing's trailer, you can tell what kind of movie you're paying for.
