Nice one, with some flaws.

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2004)

Yeah, Van Helsing is a nice film. But too many "poetic licences". There are a lot of ropes, there just to help one character to jump and then finish right at the exact time and place where he/her is supposed to be ? OK, I might live with that, only if it was all. Another thing, in the middle of the Carpathians, in a lost village full of ugly farmers ready to suspect anyone lives Anna Valerious, this woman that appears with such a beauty has sprung from those people? I hardly believe that. But after all, Jackman was perfect and Roxburgh too, the costumes where wonderful and even the settings. Nice way to spend an evening, if you don't have anything better to watch.
