This beast is as subtle as a Red Bull enema, but it succeeds magnificently as compulsively watchable spectacle.

For all its tangle of characters and plot twists, Van Helsing isn't the slightest bit involving, and more than once (especially whenever Beckinsale is onscreen), it is unintentionally hilarious. But it's the rare kind of movie where the badness just adds to the fun.

I've watched Van Helsing over 3 dozen times. I know it's not for everyone but it works for me. I can watch a movie over and over and enjoy it every time. It's in my personal top 10. It's better than the Wolverine movies that have a similar vibe. Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale work well together.

Kind of like a basketball team of all-stars -- no names, please -- that has difficulty jelling into one smooth and efficient unit.

Van Helsing wears its price tag on its ruffled lamé sleeve. And yet it gives off an aura of what I can only call lavish cheapness.

Van Helsing, a fusion of eye candy and brain sputter, is a long, kinetic, yet dreary mess.

In sum, Van Helsing is yet another video game disguised as a wide-screen epic. Here's hoping the box office drives a firm wooden stake through its hokey Hollywood heart.

Nothing's alive in this trash-heap travesty of warm-weather entertainment, despite the frenetic pace.

Van Helsing is not looking to be groundbreaking, but is looking to be an entertaining summer action movie - which it does well.

I honestly didn't mind it, I really liked the fight scenes which Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) had throughout this movie they were quite fun and entertaining.

The character designs are atrocious, and the action scenes look like a kid playing with vampire-themed legos. By far the worst adaptation of Dracula I've ever seen.

Van Helsing made me want to gouge my eyes out. This was an extremely painful movie to watch, quite frankly a missed opportunity in ever sense of the word. A horrible script with actors simply reading their lines and waiting to get through it.
