by dragonfire88  in Movies,  - Top 50, May 07 '04
Pros: Hugh Jackman and Richard Roxburgh. Entertaining movie. Hugh showed some skin.
Cons: Not a lot of character development
I had been wanting to see Van Helsing for months. I like vampire movies and I like Hugh Jackman. I thought the previews looked interesting. I did something I rarely do, and saw the movie on opening day. The last few days haven’t been ...

Pros: Jackman in a loin cloth!
Cons: Some of the scenes with Drac's wives drug on a tad
Yes folks, the much awaited premier of Van Helsing was today at our local theater and of course, I was there. I'm a long time fan of the Dracula legends and his nemesis Van Helsing so I was very much looking forward to this release. I have to say ...

by Psychovant , May 10 '04
Pros: Some minor special effects...
Cons: Just about everything else...
The story is fairly simple. Van Helsing, who was raised by wolves… oh wait, no he was raised by a very secret society of priests that have an even more secret base of operations directly below Vatican City, has grown up with the knowledge that he ...

Pros: Kate Beckinsale's pants - that's it.
Cons: You can't give less than 1 star or I'd give zero stars.
Van Helsing (2004) If any movie could be a poster child for wretched excess. I can make a good case for Stephen Sommers’ Van Helsing. Van Helsing stars Hugh Jackman as the title character in a genre blending mishmash of tedium ...

Pros: Jackman and Beckinsale, the plot of chasing down monsters
Cons: the affinity for rope swinging, some terrible dialogue
At times there are action movies that come along when the only reason for the audience to come see them, is more for the special effects than for the story. Van Helsing is one of those movies, as it takes its audience for a ride of nonstop sequences ...

Pros: Nice acting, Kate is uberhot, CGI is amazing, very fast paced movie!
Cons: Not as much elaboration on the story or Van Helsing's past as there could've been.
First time ever going to the movies in Virginia, and it was a real banger. Van Helsing was the flavor of the week, and I was again whisked away to a more familiar place as the lights went down and the moon went up. Van Helsing is a ...

by lyagushka - Top 200, May 05 '04
Pros: Jackman, Wenham and Roxburgh's acting
Cons: Gratuitously stupid script, mediocre special effects, achingly bad dialog
When I was a student I used to decompress between semesters by renting the stupidest, most mindless movies I could lay my hands on. The last thing I wanted was to be educated or enriched in any way, or to have to think about any weighty matters. I saw ...

Pros: Stephen Summers of Scorpion King wrote and directed the movie.
Cons: See review
The Gadget man {my Husband} and I went to the movies Sunday. He wanted to see what most men want an action packed movie. I wanted to see Bad Girl but we ended up at the doorway to Van Helsing. We settled in with our popcorn and coke and ...

by phungus in Movies, - Top 100, May 12 '04
Pros: Hugh and Kate look great in costume
Cons: Too much CGI, lame plot, too much style and no substance
Van Helsing would have been a lot better had it not borrowed so much from other, more superior, movies. It is from Stephen Sommers, who did the two Mummy movies, and stars Hugh Jackman and the recently married Kate Beckinsale. The title character is ...

by d_fienberg - Top 500, May 09 '04
Pros: Very few that I can think of. The stars are pretty.
Cons: The worst thing to ever happen to Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf-man
Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman are three of the most venerable characters in the history of cinema (and the first two are literary superstars as well). Stephen Sommers, the hack roller-coaster auteur behind the two Mummy films knows that. ...

Pros: Hot leads
Cons: Too long, predictable, cheesy, bad acting and writing, CGI overload
Yesterday I learned an important lesson: always bring ID to the movies. I had been planning to see Troy with my best friend, who is also an Epinions member. As we arrived at the theater, we realized that Troy was rated R, and, alas, we did ...

by hist , Apr 24 '05
Pros: David Wenham, the scenery, mildly entertaining
Cons: I think Roxburgh and his harem even took a bite out of me.
It’s amazing what you can find when you’re flipping channels. Sometimes, you strike gold and find something captivating, and sometimes you find something that’s so bad you just have to watch it to see how bad it gets. This is especially true on ...

by JiggyJay - Top 500, May 24 '04
Pros: Pros: Jackman, story, special effects, awesome battle sequences
Cons: Some cheesy acting here and there, some questions not answered
I was a huge fan of the remade Mummy movies when they came out so when I heard that the same guy behind those was going to make a movie involving my other favorite movie monster, Dracula, I could hardly wait. But little did I know that a lot of ...

by minorthreat78 , May 17 '04
Pros: Many, many unintentionally funny moments
Cons: Poor directing and writing, excess special effects, insult to the intelligence of viewers
Sometimes, you can just smell that a movie is going to be really bad. Maybe its the legions of people telling you how bad it was when they saw it. Maybe the scores of negative reviews threaten you to shy away from the movie, screaming out, "Back! ...

by MrsNormanMaine - Top 1000, May 30 '04
Pros: It looks pretty. David Wenham.
Cons: Loud, obnoxious, talented cast left adrift.
The production crew for American Idyl has returned to the greater Los Angeles area to resume taping on the series in which one of our lovely little lasses between the ages of four and eight years will be crowned the Shirley Temple of the new ...
