Why is everyone so harsh

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2004)

I will never understand why everyone insists on judging every movie like it is shooting for the big awards......this movie was made for different reasons. One is that the makers have a love for the genre, obvious with the old school tributes, and two was to make an entertaining action movie. Which i would say that they succeeded in doing so, i enjoyed the fact that there was a lot of action, too many times people ruin the pace of movies by trying to balance out the action with love stories or some other garbage. Certain movies are not meant to be that way, and this is one of them, that is why i hate when people gauge it against other movies that are made with different intentions. And i am also a big Dracula fan and i realize that they fudged the Van Helsing legacy, but you couldn't have this movie with Anthony Hopkins running around fighting all of these creatures, even though he did an amazing job in bram stokers Dracula as the real VH, but this is a different movie, with a different story, and a very different purpose.....overall i enjoyed this film for what it was worth and i will be purchasing it when it comes out on Oct. 19
