Not bad
The movie wasn't too bad but I'll admit the tarzan swinging and Kate Bakensale character getting thrown everywhere and still looking good sucked.But it wasn't that bad,I left satisfied when watching it in the theaters.See some movies are much better on the silver screen rather then on a 20 something inch T.V.When your seeing on the silver screen it's just better.I really did like this movie just like underworld it has it's bad parts but hey this is a popcorn movie not a film thats suppose to make you cry or change your life.When I went to watch Van Helsing I knew it was gonna have fun CGI creature,weird storyline but interesting,over the top no way that will ever happen stunts,and a chessy romantic scenes with cool old fashioned monster.What were you guys expecting oscar material.C'mon.
If there was ever to be a sequel for Van Helsing, which I doubt, I hope that Sommers and his crew would improve upon the editing of scenes, juice up the conversations, make the movie appear more contemporary and less over kill on the speical effects/cgi, and so forth. also, make the clothing more believable and realistic for that time period.
Actually I think the werewolves looked decent in this movie though...no movie gets it right but this one was close.
The action was great except the horses jumping the bridge...that stuff was grade-A laughable.
The story was horrid. Least he coulda been named Abraham Van Helsing duhhhr. Also wtf is with the other creatures period. The story of dracula is about vampires! This looked like a big budget Monster Squad 🙂

I got through MAYBE 30 minutes of this swill on celluloid. I think my favorite part was Kate Beckinsale going against the Big Bad Wolf from "Shrek".This movie deserves no sequel, or an insufferable Director's Cut DVD.
