Movie Description
All varieties of otherworldly creatures come out to play in Stephen Sommers' gothic carnival. Frankenstein's monster, ferocious werewolves, vampire bat babies, a maniacal scientist named Igor, and a CGI Dr. Jekyll are just a few. When they come together, a thrilling fantasy adventure results, making VAN HELSING a visual feast. Destined to fight the world's evil, Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) is a warrior in a cowboy hat and a trench coat, heavily armed with a rapid-fire multi-arrow crossbow, among other gadgetry. A legion of monks in Rome send Van Helsing to Transylvania to hunt the immortal Count Dracula (Richard Roxburgh), who terrorizes the local people with the help of his three vampire brides. Especially threatened is the vixen Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale), whose family also strives to kill the Count. Van Helsing and Anna Valerious work together, searching for the secret door to Dracula's lair. But it is only after massive battles involving impossible stunts, races on horse-pulled carriages, and the desecration of enchanting medieval castles (all done with dizzying computer graphics) that they succeed. Not only does the eye candy keep on coming, the tongue-in-cheek writing and deep Transylvanian accents perfect the film with a dose of dark humor.

Editorial Reviews
"[With a] gleeful, chaotic sense of visual excess."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (05/07/2004)

"The best part is the moodily handsome look of the sets..."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (05/07/2004)

"The movie is like a Greatest Hits compilation; it's assembled like Frankenstein's Monster, from spare parts stitched together and brought to life with electricity, plus lots of computer-generated images."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (05/07/2004)

"The dark, desaturated imagery perfectly complements this vampires and werewolves tale, with lots of cold bluish-gray exteriors and warm firelit interiors."
Widescreen Review - Widescreen Review Staff (06/01/2006)

    Van Helsing

    Full of great special effects and costumes, but has little substance!

    If you're looking for the next great American movie, turn away immediately. However, if you're a monster movie fan and you're looking for an action/adventure film full of cool monsters and great special effects, Van Helsing delivers.

    Although Van Helsing is a little short on story, the action sequences and the monsters more than make up for that.

    I love monster movies, and Van Helsing fits as many monsters as it can into the 2 hour time limit.

    Van Helsing can be summed up by the following statement - Wall to Wall action scenes and monster battles.

    Final Verdict:

    3/5

    Rent or Buy?: Nothing spectacular, and unless you're a huge monster movie fan, you can get away with a rental.

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
