too much dumb comic relief

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2004)

this movie would have been better if it was taken a little more seriously. why did Van Helsing have that stupid monk as his sidekick? the monk constantly made one-liners that were corny and adolescent. was there any purpose either in showing him the morning after he had sex with the woman from the village? come on, the writer could have come up with something a little more interesting for that scene. and why was Frankenstein's monster such a nice guy that always swung from a rope in every scene he was in? he should have been a ruthless, vicious killer that was one of Van Helsing's targets. other than that lots of great action with incredible CGI. but i only give it a WEAK 3 stars.
