Despite the fact Van Helsing was commonly a supporting hero in more than forty vampire films, now he becomes a central character. He is to assist beautiful, sword-wielding Anna who is the last descendant of vampire-fighting clan, to slay the ominous count Dracula (Richard Roxburgh) having dispatched his monsters, namely the Wolf Man (Will Kemp), and Frankenstein's Monster (Shuler Hensley). Having convinced the distrustful peasants of his utility as the deliverer from the evil ones, Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) comes into the fierce confrontation with three Dracula's brides, powerful and dissolute viragos who embellish the movie bringing in a spirit of the perishable lust. Considering an almost immense budget, special-effects in this movie are quite impressive along with admirable Kate Beckinsale's cute character and the handsome long-haired Hugh Jackman in his heydays. |
