Although there were a number of flaws, which I won't talk about, I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. First off, the special effects were great, the musical score was fantastic, and the acting was good. The story was a little too much. I think they should have saved some of those characters for other movies like they would with a superhero movie. For example, in Batman the only villain was the Joker. Not most of the villains he faces. I think they should have changed a few things about the actual character of Van Helsing, (his age, reputation, etc.), and perhaps the amount of time they would take between parts of the story. I loved Kate Beckensale in this role, Hugh Jackman was a good choice for Van Helsing, and Richard Roxburg whom I haven't seen since Mission Impossible II was a good Dracula. I give this movie a 7 out of 10. Go see it at any price.
