See The Movie Before You Start Judging It

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2011)

I can't understand why people ostracize a movie negatively before it actually premieres? I watched "Van Helsing" 7 years ago and I was completely awestruck by it. The trailer previews doesn't even come close to the actual movie itself as it only shows the small tidbits of what you'll expect to see. The upper echelons at Universal Studios claimed the by the time trailer came into commission, the special effects was not fully completed. I had my doubts at first about seeing it, but in the end, and when the credits were rolling, I had to give a stand up applause. It was that phenomenal.
Sure the naysayers will easily be judgmental as Van Helsing will utilize his impressive arsenal of weapons as he embarks on an eclectic journey against the top villains that once graced the silver screen back in the 1930's and 1940's. From the Wolfman to Frankenstein, to Dracula the battles were extremely engaging and it was fun to see the dynamic monsters try to challenge this clever monster-slaying warrior. Granted, this movie will never win any Oscars, in fact the script is cheesier than a lasagne in an Italian restaurant. But if you like watching the biggest, the baddest, the most macabre bunch of monsters to ever hit the screen in one movie, well look no further.
The film is just fun to watch. The setting were sublime, the monsters were very graphical and effective. Sure it looks at times like a Simon Belmont video-game in terms of atmosphere, with Helsing defeating these evil beings. The weapons Van Helsing uses is cool enough to make even James bond green with envy. His fight with the Count was very exciting it will keep you glued to your seat as the action and scenery is what makes this movie special.
For those who yearn on artsy movies or like to dissect every anachronism that's featured well, it's never too late to turn away from it. Don't spoil it for others just because you're judgemental. But if you're passive about cheesy scripts, but scintillating entertainment, you don't want to miss "Van Helsing". Just sit back and let your mind relax.
