Good Special Effects, Everything Else Is Really, Really Bad

Rating: 2/10 (29 June 2007)

I give Van Helsing a 2/10 because it has some great special effects from Industrial Lights & Magic, but the rest stinks. The acting is bad, the movie is boring, the whole project was really disappointing for me; I was really looking forward to seeing this. Hugh Jackman is a great actor, see him in top acting condition in The Prestige and Happy Feet.
I suppose I should tell the storyline, which I barely remember. It deals with Dracula and his three wives who make lots of little baby-vamps to take over the world. It has something to do with Frankenstein, too. Uh, yeah. So it's got great special effects, but overall, it's a terrible movie. 1/2 star.
