He's got a lot more to worry about than what I think of him... like if he'll still have a job in a month!

In my opinion they could have chosen someone else instead of the actor with a lipse

[King]

seems to bee a verry nice movie

Just been to see this in the cinema, my thoughts...

The CG totally blew me away. The monsters were utterly convincing (in my opinion anyway, especially the werewolf transformations), awesome stuff.

Acting wasn't terrible given the nature of the film. Over-the-top in places (I found Dracula's brides to be quite annoying, all that screaming!), but bearable

The plot was rubbish (surprise!) and didn't seem to be very clearly explained in places. Quite ropey, really.

All in all not a bad movie, it'll make a shitload of money for sure, but its worth seeing for the effects and the action scenes

Kate Beckingsale's in it SWEET. Hopefully meet her one day being that my dad is friends with the family   .

Saw Van Helsing on Sunday - great fun.  A true "popcorn and cola" movie.  Tune in for two hours, disengage your brain, and have a blast.  Its nothing more and nothing less.

The CGI is fine, action is good, Beckinsale and Jackman live up to expectations, and the story is passable in the way that "if I don't think about it too much and just have fun it's fine" (i.e. every Steven Sommers movie).

True Hollywood summer fare - check it out for a couple hours of escapism
