Van Helsing review

WTF?!

Van Helsing is a very stupid and pointless mess that wasn't filmed correctly and did pretty much everything wrong. The action scenes were mildly enjoyable. I think the mian reason why I really hated this film was because I'm not a big fan of vampire films. This was a film that I knew that I wasn't going to like very much because it just seems a bit over the top in entertainment but very sloppy regarding acting, direction and script.


What were you thinking, Hugh Jackman? Jackman is a fantastic actor but it's like he lost his balls so to speak to want to be in a film like this. I don't think he chooses very hard at what films to be involved in. A worse actor should have played Van Helsing instead. In a way I'm not that surprised that Kate Beckinsale was in this film. I think her portrayal in Underworld led to Van Helsing. She was very crap as well but she was someone I could laugh at when watching it but watching Hugh Jackman as Van Helsing was horrible because I know he can do a lot better than that.


The directing was absolutely awful! It tries to entertain but doesn't succeed in a great way. It doesn't seem very realistic when it comes to creating an interesting story about vampires. That is why I don't really like vampire films: weak stories and unrealistic characters within them. The only one I sort of liked was Twilight.


Van Helsing is a really awful film that I really didn't like at all. There are very stupid performances from both Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. Very silly, ridiculous and pointless film that I hated. I don't regret watching it though. I am glad I gave it a try at least.
