Three Thumbs Up

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2004)

It was etertaining. It had old movie monsters re-spun in new and delightful ways, making them more entertaining that movies of yore. The story line was interesting, and kept me thinking up until the end. The ending itself was a surprise.
Then again, if you want something more along the lines of "The Hours" or "Girl With A Pearl Earring", I don't suggest this movie for you. If you liked Indiana Jones, you will more than likely love "Van Helsing".
I give this movie three thumbs way way up, because of the entertainment value. It's going to keep people coming back for more over and over again.
