	"Van Helsing" Movie Review by Kevin Carr - 7M Pictures
		I also am a huge fan of the old Universal monster movies, and anyone who has those films in their blood should feel a special connection to “Van Helsing.” Oh, sure, there are plenty of folks out there badmouthing “Van Helsing” because it they consider it a bastardization of these classic films.
		Instead, “Van Helsing” should be seen as a homage to the sequels of these movies - the ones that became franchises in the 1940s.
		It is Van Helsing’s mission to vanquish evil from the face of the earth, and in this film he tangles with Mr.

	Van Helsing - Movie Review by Faizan Rashid - TEN Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If there is one thing proven by 'Van Helsing', Universal's big budget adventure movie, it is that appending the number of popular figures in a movie, does not necessarily equate to an escalation in its resulting quality or entertainment value, something which viewers learned with last years campy but fun LXG.
		Helsing is sent here by the order of the church, for which he performs the nasty bidding of creature hunting.
		As a movie, Van Helsing is closer in tone and feel to 'The Mummy returns' in its overuse and reliance on effects and noise to do the talking.

	Van Helsing Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The chief assassin of a secret society dedicated to eradicating evil, Van Helsing is a man without a past, haunted by memories of ancient battles.
		Van Helsing himself is armed with a lot of high-tech 1800s gadgetry, like a rapid-fire crossbow machine-gun, a pair of handheld circular saws, a pistol that shoots grappling hooks, and plenty of nasty guns, knives and swords.
		Unfortunately many of the latter-day Van Helsing renditions (such as the 1960s Hammer Studios versions) are given short shrift or completely ignored, but at least there's lip service given to the monster-hunter's roots.

	Van Helsing Movie Reviews.
		One of the most anticipated movies of the 2004 summer, "Van Helsing," is finally in theaters.
		"Van Helsing" is now a younger man who uses his physical strengths and modern weapons to battle evil.
		Anyone who has seen the trailers knows that "Van Helsing" will clash with a variety of classic movie monsters including "Dracula," "Frankenstein's Monster," and the "Wolfman." For good measure "Igor" and "Mister Hyde" are thrown in.

	Van Helsing movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		As finesse and engaging a film as Van Helsing is, it is hollow, as its character of Dracula once states in the film.
		Van Helsing is also an emotionally lost soul that is trying to rehash his past, which he has hardly any memory of.
		Van Helsing a huge blockbuster that is painfully loud and lacks filling or substance to make it a recommendable choice or even a guilty pleasure.

		Or so 'Van Helsing' might be if it had a distinct identity.Loud, busy and not a little frenetic, "Van Helsing" is an example of nepotism run amok, a case study of the difficulties you can get into when you decide to hire the family.
		Actually, Van Helsing is presented as a kind of 19th century James Bond, employed by a secret Vatican society to rid the world of evil.
		Van Helsing's next assignment is Transylvania, where the Valerious family, slow learners every one, has been trying to kill Dracula for nine generations.

		The original movies - released in the 1930s and 1940s - may not all be great (though they are all better than this movie), but at their best, they at least have a nice level of creepiness, even if they can't scare a modern audience.
		Van Helsing has none of this eerie quality and is merely an action movie with slightly off-beat villains.

	Van Helsing Movie Review - Van Helsing Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		No, ''Van Helsing'' is based on the Universal Pictures marketing department's tumescent desire to re-imprint its brands onto the minds of a new generation.
		The sad thing is that ''Van Helsing'' starts off with a stylish fl-and-white bang that bows low to the Universal horror films of the '30s and '40s.
		For most of its running time, ''Van Helsing'' is one excruciatingly loud set piece of CGI hooey after another, and when a character or a plot twist does manage to make you laugh, you're not sure whether it's camp or ineptitude.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Van Helsing
		Like last year's movie, “Van Helsing” is a big budget film with comic book action, thin comic book-like characters, and a story which is completely scatter-brained.
		Van Helsing is sent to try to kill Dracula and to save Anna and her brother, the last of the Valerious clan.
		Writer-director Stephen Sommers (“The Mummy” movies) tries to use the same formula he used in the Mummy movies, a mixture of comedy and high adventure, but this movie falls short of his earlier films, which actually developed interesting characters.

		Van Helsing (Jackman) is a monster killer, in fact he's the monster killer.
		After leaving London Van Helsing returns to the Vatican for his next assignment which turns out to be Dracula himself.
		My biggest complaints about the movie are typical for this type of film, escapes and rescues that are too convenient, people who can get the crap knocked out of them and not mess up their hair, and some really bad dialogue.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Van Helsing" movie review (2004) "Van Helsing" review, Stephen Sommers, Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale
		The epitome of everything that's wrong with $150 million B-movies, "Van Helsing" is an inane, soulless, 19th century vampire-hunting action flick of computer-F/X overkill and ham-fisted actors chewing on stale catch-phrase dialogue (when dialogue is even allowed) as if it's a mouthful of bubblegum with the flavor long gone.
		She wears a corset with rock-star-styled riding pants and go-go boots, and looks ridiculous slinging a sword and a one-shot, silver-bullet pistol that she holsters in case of werewolves.
		With all that nonsense going on, the only entertainment value "Van Helsing" offers comes from the unintentionally funny fact that the film's every scene is exponentially more ludicrous, effects-driven and lame-brained than the one before it.

	Van Helsing movie review, In Film Australia
		This lavishly designed monster mash movie is the latest outing from The Mummy director Stephen Sommers, whose penchant for old fashioned adventures is proving enormously popular with multiplex audiences.
		Van Helsing is the much anticipated blockbuster comic book quest starring three Aussie blokes in the primary male cast.
		The best blockbuster movies usually follow a similar trajectory, but are persistently akin to audience gratification so that when they move through obligatory slow spots they move with rhythm and clarity.

	Van Helsing Review :: Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In the late 19th century, Dr. Gabriel Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman), a misunderstood monster hunter, is summoned to Transylvania to ferret out Count Dracula (Richard Roxburgh) and kill him once and for all.
		When Van Helsing gets to the small village where the vampire was last spotted, he discovers he also must contend with Dracula's three seriously twisted vampire brides, Dracula's angry henchman/werewolf--and a lovely gypsy princess named Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale), who is hell-bent on eradicating Dracula and his bloodsucking kind for slaughtering her entire family.
		He adequately embodies the younger, more virile Van Helsing, dishing out as much pain and torture as he can on the undead--but the Aussie actor isn't given nearly as much meat to chew on, as he did, say, delving into the complicated Wolverine in X-Men.

	Van Helsing - movie review
		Now Helsing is sent to Transylvania to eliminate Dracula (Richard Roxburgh) (Bond: villain) and meets up with the gorgeous Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale) (Bond: Bond girl) who is the last of her family all dedicated to slaying Dracula and his fellow vampires.
		On the one hand VAN HELSING is bravely trying to enter today’s world where BUFFY rules in its sheer excellence and on the other hand it’s afraid to do anything too complex in case its mass audience doesn’t understand it, so it also tries to be James Bond.
		But VAN HELSING has tried to lessen its risk by throwing too many known elements in, Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde, then dumbing everything including the script down to be on the safe side.
