Fantastic entertaining movie!

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2005)

This is definitely one of the best movies of 2004. After being disappointed with the likes of 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'I, Robot' this was definitely a highlight of 2004.
Hugh Jackman did a great interpretation of Van Helsing and so did Kate Beckinsale as Anna. A great entertaining movie with lots of special and visual effects, combined with a great story. This movie is far better than any of 'Lord of the Rings' movies - 'Van Helsing' shows us a real adventure and it's not boring for even one second, while we get tired and (or) fall asleep while watching 'Lord of the Rings'.
This is a fantastic movie and it definitely deserved all those millions it earned around the globe.
A masterpiece of 2004. The year 2004 was probably the worst year in movies, but this film definitely showed that there are still great films out there. Big congratulations to director Stephen Sommers for such a brilliant film.
The only other film that can manage to conquer 'Van Helsing' as 2004s best picture is definitely 'Spider-Man 2' but even that movie gets kinda boring in some parts and it's a little too long, while 'Van Helsing' lasts pretty long as well, but it's not boring for even one second.
The special and visual effects were amazing during the whole movie, and i just adore movies that are so entertaining and full of action, and has a great story and great actors on the other side. Fabulous.
10/10
