Gabriel Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) is a man-on-a-mission, determined to rid the world of its most evil, nightmarish creatures. Working through a clandestine Catholic connection, he's off to slay Count Dracula (Richard Roxburgh), along with Dracula's jealous, bloodthirsty brides. But in Transylvania, he's not the only vampire hunter. There's intrepid, corset-clad Anna Valerious (sexy Kate Beckinsale), plus Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolf Man, even Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.
The movie is a one big disappointment. Wooden acting, VERY BAD VISUALS EFFECTS and boring like hell.
Oh, did I mention this.Kate Beckinsale is the worst actress ever.
The movie plays like one long preview for a video game. The film's CGI sets are as handsome as you'd find produced by the finest game machines.
Many, many times dialogue is idiotic: It has about as much life as a drained corpse. "You can't kill me," Dracula actually says. "I'm already dead!" You're telling me.
I went into Van Helsing expecting a cheesy B-movie. Unfortunately, what I got was a very bad cheesy B-movie. I give it a Z.
