12 May 2004 Val Helsing Review

[Review] I just saw Van Helsing at the cinema and I wanna share my opinion of it, seeing as most people I know seems to be doing it. One thing that has to be said about the movie; it's very melodramatic. During the breaks from the action we're left to watch the somewhat cheesy storyline and some over-the-top acting and fake accents from Dracula and his women. Frankenstien's Monster should get an award for his 'extreme' acting. Hugh Jackman did surprizingly well in his role and I liked him. He was the cool bad-ass with the killer clothes and the killer moves. The makers of the movie made the right choice when they chose Hugh to be the man. Well done. The special effects kinda fluxed in quality during the movie. There were parts where you thought "Wow, that's pretty cool" and "what a cool idea", while other time where you thought "The gamma on that CG model is off" or "Blue-Screen...". I could see that most of the budget was spent on the ending of the film. The effects at the end were quite amazing and I started to enjoy the movie. Then it was over. I enter the cinema with fairly low expectation of the film. For the most parts those expectations were confirmed, though there were a couple of good things in the movie (like the end bit and that Werewolves kick ass!). Wait for this to come out onto DVD. That way you can skip the dull bits, you don't need them anyway. GRAX RATING: 2/5
