Not overly bad but not incredibly entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2004)

I have to say I expected a lot more than I got in terms of screen value. I definitely agree with some that the cgi was over the top which invalidated some of the fight scenes. If we're talking inconsistencies regarding the werewolves, didn't the very first scene where Velkan was bitten take place during the day?
Another thing that irked me was the fact that Van Helsing was so eager to kill the wolf but so quick to jump to the defence of Frankenstein's Monster.
On a lighter note, I enjoyed the scenes with the three vampire brides as well as the masquerade ball which I thought was choreographed well. I wasn't entirely bought on Bekinsdale's performance nor Jackman's but I'm just nitpicking.
Overall, I think if the cgi had been toned down just a little and if they had upped the camp factor just a little, the movie would have been a whole lot more enjoyable for me.
