Van Helsing (2004)

This film includes a wide range of fictional creatures such as Dracula, Were Wolves and the one and only Frankenstein! This film is very strange; it is about a man who hunts down creatures such as Giants and Were Wolves. He uses fantastic inventions to kill them. After he kills a terrifying Giant his next task is to kill Dracula. Now it is up to him to save the human race from Dracula.

I thought this was a cool,weird and wonderful film. I thought this film was not a five star film because it was slightly confusing. I like the idea and concept of the film but I don't think they produced a film that explained the story very well. I thought the CGI was good and the sounds and effects made a real impact on the film. There were many good scenes in the film but one that I particularly liked was when they used a weapon that was a mix of a machine gun and crossbow to try and kill some vampires. The arrows of the gun pierced right through the vampires' wings and I thought that looked awesome!

I recommend this film for both boys and girls ages 9/10+. If you like monsters, blood sucking vampire's and creepy frankenstein then this the film for you. But even if you don't like those things it is good to try something new. Anyway I do recommend you watch this film. There are a couple of gory and scary scenes but I enjoyed it. Over all I think this was an ok film but if you watch it you need to pay attention or you might get confused.
