Worst film I've seen in ages.
"I'm Hugh Jackman, and I can't remember my past! What an original concept for you to get your heads around!"
"I'm a CGI beast and pose almost no threat!"

"I'm Kate Beckinsale and I have a terrible accent. I love you already, Van Helsing. Sorry, Van Haaalssing."
"No time for romance, I've got to fend off this CGI dog and a big gay man pretending to be Dracula!"
"Mwahahahaaa! I am Dracula! Watch as I make the most sinister character ever created look like a member of the Gypsy Kings!"
"We're Dracula's brides, can't act and are annoying"
"I'm Faramir, and I've wandered into the wrong movie. Oh well, how about I do some slapstick and you let me go back to Peter Jackson. No?"
"I'm Frankenstein's Monster. I'm saaad and want out of this movie."
"I'm the Wolfman and serve no real purpose, other than to be CG."
"Quiet, you distracting monsters. I must kill Dracula because he keeps trying to have kids with his annoying wives, and then they'll have really annoying children which will also have really bad accents. Watch as I act out scenes as a third-rate Indiana Jones, with my girlish locks and rubbish hat! Die Dracula, die in a really underwhelming and computer-generated way!"

It's a cheesy summer blockbuster isn't it, which means action and CGI over a decent script.
Of course it doesn't have deeply emotional characters, clever plot or stuff like that, it's a movie sold purely on it's action and special effects.
Wasted £5.60.
Thought it nicked a lot of ideas from Blade, not to mention the fact that it completely sucked.

Erm LOTR?
"Van Helsing" is a monster mash of pure popcom fun.

I think it only works when it's used in very quick sequences, when you can see it in detail it ruins the film because you know the actors are just bluescreening it, it's the equivalent of matthew corbett talking to sooty, sometimes you need feel things are actually there.
I hate C.G.I.
