Van Helsing's amazing fighting abilities seem to be getting beat up and barely winning any fight he is involved in. That and the movie ends with a pretty terrible CGI fight. Terrible waste of my time.

Ridiculous story, and a number of characters and scenes are reminiscent of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen-not a good sign. What was supposed to be the most heartwrenching and sympathetic scene made the whole theater cackle at its absurdity-also, a very bad sign.

Toss it on the dung heap started by Stephen Sommers' Fraser Mummy movies. "More is more" H'wood garbage w/ supernatural beings fought off by non-magical guns and swords (!) and CGI smashed across your face every 5 minutes. Uninspired, unoriginal, & no doubt an easy sell to studio executives. Even Kate Beckinsale's looks fail to alleviate the pain. Better than the Mummy only b/c it has a larger variety of famous monsters for you to sigh impatiently at.

One of the reasons why you should never trust trailers, this film looked like it'd kick ten kinds of ass when the first spot aired during the Super Bowl. Turns out it bit just as much ass, as the dialogue, kept to a minimum in the marketing, was horrible, and the actual monsters looked like they were culled from an N64 game. A cinematic punch to the nuts.

It's a CGI-fest with screeching monsters, but it's a fun watch-through. I'm constantly mocking Beckinsale's impractical wardrobe and her ability to maintain glamorous amidst otherwise devastating injuries, or Jackman's silly contraptions, or the number of swinging scenes. David Wenham plays a competent sidekick. The werewolf-shedding is a nice idea. Fav scene: werewolf and batcula duking it out with fisticuffs because we can never have enough CG.

Such an absurd film. Nobody who worked on this has any idea what the laws of physics are, every action scene looked like the worst video game ever. In significant need of more lighting, too. And less explosive carriages. Some extra points for how entertainingly bad it is.

The storyline of "Van Helsing" alone is a giant bad trip. Basically, we have here Dracula trying to capture Frankenstein's monster so that he could spawn thousands of little baby Draculas and Abraham van Helsing's younger brother trying to stop him with a machine-gun crossbow while changing into a werewolf. And the execution is even worse. It's not even "so bad it's good". It's just bad. Unbelievably bad.

The instant you see the corny shadow of Dracula on the wall in the opening scene, you know you've been duped by the most misrepresenting ad campaign ever. I was really excited to see this movie. Whoever made the commercials should have made the movie, because those were dark, serious, and exciting looking. Van Helsing is a wretched, cheeseball piece of drivel that no one should see, ever.

In the world's silliest pixel fight you find yourself without a controller. Well, what else to do then, other than start noticing how the computer generated images aren't really up to snuff. I did like the comment "Why does it smell of wet dog?" although the answer is that it doesn't. It smells of sweaty, fat motion graphics designer.

It’s silly and overlong, and falls to pieces during the numbing CGI-fest of a third act, but still a lot of fun, with Jackman’s stolid Van Helsing and Beckinsale’s overly coiffed heroine balanced by Roxburgh’s delightfully hammy Dracula; he basically steals the film, giving it a much needed shot of energy whenever spirits start to lag. It’s the first act which works best as it gently tips its hat to Bond – love the opening briefing (replete with overheads) by Armstrong’s Cardinal!

This movie is just dumb action. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine as Gabriel Van Helsing is a good choice for the hero in this furiously silly monster mash of a film. Don't get me wrong now, I love Hugh, and the rest of the cast isn't bad either. The plot is just too stupid. Comic book fans might have a good laugh with their buds over how they can't believe they watched the whole thing, but everyone else would be wise to avoid it at all costs. Ugh!

The idea was there, and it had great potential, but the plot's reliance on convenience and predictable cliche's REALLY brought it down. God, that doesn't even compare to the godawful pacing and CGI which ruined what could have been awesome action scenes. It's also funny how, if you really consider it, how Sommers essentially rips off his own movies when making Van Hellsing given how much similarities it had with his previous movie The Mummy.

As a fan of the classic monster movies, I like the idea of bringing them all together again for this one, and I was prepared to like it even if it wasn't that great. But I really wasn't that enthralled with it. There were a few nice parts--Frankenstein's monster had some nice moments, some sets/scenes/characters were reminiscent of the old horror movies, and the costumes were neat--but I really can't say I liked it much as a whole.

It does create an atmosphere. And it is the most moster-packed movie in many a decade. But the real reason this belongs in the horror section rather than action / adventure is because it is so very horrible. Best stick with Hellboy, which combines the super-hero and supernatural genres much more effectively.

Van Helsing is a messy and erratic CGI fest with muddled lore, terrible humour, and an absent script. There is, however, some redemption to be found in terms of spectacle. Chief of these is this kick-ass werewolf at 3:05: https://youtu.be/uD6xG_hljj4?t=185

Can you look past a few plot holes and poorly done CGI? Can you tolerate cheesy dialogue? Is an unrelenting pace something you look for in a movie? Can you turn off your brain for a couple hours and just watch and admire what is happening on screen? If the answer to most of those is yes, you'll probably like what Van Helsing has to offer. If the answer is no, then you might as well just skip it, as you will probably feel like you have wasted two hours of your life.

Just finished watching the movie; didn't even realize Van Helsing was played by Hugh Jackman until reading it here. In any case, he was pretty bad, but I don't think the movie was.

Along the way the Wolfman is added for muscle, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon sublets Dracula's old castle. The whole thing is like a thinking mans "Monster Squad".

Van Helsing is wonderful movie - maybe I was in a better mood. Maybe because a lot in Van Helsing is unintentionally funny (like the over-the-top Romanian accents of Dracula's harpies, er, wives who reminded me of the one in Clash of the Titans). Or maybe it was Richard Roxburgh's overacting as Dracula as well. I don't know. At least Van Helsing has one good action set piece (involving a coach chase).
