I saw the new film "Van Helsing" on the weekend and I wouldn't recommend it.
It starts off well with a fight between Van Helsing and Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde which is very cool. But then they start adding the plot which is where the film takes a dive. They try too add too much into the film with Dracula, Frankenstein's monster and Werewolves and a complex attempt at tying them all together that just feels convoluted and weak.
Also, the guy who played Dracula has seen Interview with a Vampire way too many times and couldn't pull it off anyway.
The special effects are what you'd expect from a modern action film and I really liked the last fight scene.
All in all, it's a visually impressive film that has not much else to recommend it.
Oh well, at least Troy comes out this week and that should be fucking awesome!

I heart that the Xbox or PS2 game rocks though, but I havent played it yet.

The plot was kind of non-existant and the vampire babies made me cringe with embarassment for the script writer. I watched it twice. The second time stoned. Thoroughly enjoyed it both times. But then I'm a sucker for monster movies and great special effects.
