If you go in expecting Shakespeare...

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2004)

you will leave disappointed, BUT, this is a good, fun movie.
The Special Effects are great, as is the action. The plot is a little thin, but I rank it as good as Frank Langella having a mid-air love scene in his 70's version of the Dracula tale. How much plot do you REALLY expect in a movie with Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankenstein's Monster? Please! And, it was pretty obvious that much like the "mummy" movies, that this one did not take it self too seriously (which doomed "the matrix" sequels). Would everyone have felt better if Dracula and Van Helsing had a round table discussion on the Vatican Holy Knights?
The bottom line is that if you want some fun, go see this movie. If not, save the money and buy a Bob Woodward book.
