Great Entertainment

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2004)

Okay, So you won't leave this movie feeling enlightened or emotionally effected....so what? Not EVERY movie needs to be an intellectually moving experience. Sometimes you just need some cool, exciting fun. And that's what Van Helsing offers. Enjoyment. I really liked this movie, and as far as action movies go, this is one of the best I've seen in a while. The cast was pretty good, and I have a biased love for David Wenham, who plays the funny, genius, sidekick Carl, because of his role in Lord of the Rings. He was very good, as was Hugh Jackman. It was action packed, and interesting and no yawns were involved! If you're one of those crazily critical people, you'll be able to find flaws in this, although I couldn't, but if you go in with the mindset of being entertained, not moved, you'll embrace this movie happily.
8/10
