Boring uptight quadrospazes

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2004)

I'm sick and tired of people who rate a film entirely on whether or not it's a 'fantastic piece of special art'!
Van Helsing is fun. It's a laugh. Yeah it's no classic - not even within its own genre but it's thoroughly enjoyable, with decent action scenes (even though I'm sure the main actors must have got rope burns at some point), and decent special effects.
It certainly kicks the arse of the flacid recent "matrix" films (inverted commas my own)
Lighten up. I like good directing and acting as much as the next person but sometimes you want a brainless action flick. It does what it sets out to do. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Just like Dude Where's My Car. Next you're going to tell me that's not an amazing comedy!
