Lame

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2004)

Okay, here's the deal - I am not a big fan of action movies. But I liked The Mummy. A lot. It was very good fun. Suspension of disbelief? No problem, can do. But Van Helsing? Lame. No heart. Stupid script. Waste of acting talent. Would have been a waste of money, too, but I went to see it at a cheap matinee and I can at least say I have seen it, now. So I'm entitled to my opinion, right? Wasn't there a line in it about Frankenstein's monster being made of seven men stuck together? Well, this was at least seventy movies stuck very badly and at odd angles together. Van Helsing gets my vote for most stupid movie of 2004, so far. Been there, done that, hope I won't have to see it ever again.
One positive thing: David Wenham. I hated him in LOTR, but he seems to have found his niche here. Good on him.
As for the rest, I repeat. Lame. Lame. Lame.
