I think Richard Roxburgh is fantastic as Dracula.

Van Helsing has just enough legitimately “cool” stuff to make it worth watching. The werewolf design and transformation was pretty respectable. A few of the shots of the vampire brides were deserving of a much better movie. There was also a slight “steampunk” aesthetic that made some scenes feel genuinely unique if not mildly anachronistic. I’d like to see a studio try this again, but downplay the camp and lean harder into the horror aspects.

As campy as it was the designs for their vampires and werewolves forms were brilliant especially Dracula's & Van Helsing's. Also between this and her role as Selene in the Underworld franchise Kate Beckinsale was & is still gorgeous. Also the behind the scenes and bloopers hilariously acknowledges the fact of how small their budget is and how limited everything is.

when the Dracula Bride threw the cow into the house, instantly thought "man, the owner definitely must think that's some ol' bullsh-t!". Fred Decker/Shane Black's the Monster Squad was a better outing for the Universal Monsters, hope we get a retro review of that flick eventually.

I remember being so hyped for this, Hugh Jackman was riding high from X2 I don't when exactly in the film but I think some where a third of the way in, IIRC it was a shot with him in silhouette through some fog at night that looked so stagey, and it just clicked in my brain that this just isn't working. It is still very ambitious but feels like one of those icarus film that flew too close to sun and just broke in the production phase with so many of the technical aspect not being quite perfected and looking noticeably bad Beckinsale is a total baddy in this, she looked great because it reminded me of her turn in Underworld. Rental

i unironically love this movie.

This movie had a lot of imagination and effort behind it. It was a great adventure movie like the Mummy (1999). Is it bad? Yes. But it’s also fun, and that’s all that matters in my opinion.

This movie should have been an origin story of how Van Helsing became a Vampire Slayer and Monster Hunter also only show Dracula and how the two become Mortal Enemies.

The Blu-ray was cool tho. You also got all the classic universal creature features for free. Original Frankenstein, Dracula in black and White for free. I had never seen them so it was an awesome bonus.

This is my favorite guilty pleasure movie during the Halloween season

I remember watching this on my PSP. I loved every minute of it. My favorite guilty pleasure movie.

I really loved this movie when I was a kid. I watched it when I was 4 and it was something I watched on repeat 😂 I lived for the brides I loved their dresses and their demon forms were so cool. I liked the ending she was reunited with her family. That was the main goal at the beginning of killing Dracula.

I love their version of werewolves and it’s transformations

When the flying Frankenstein crashed through just the right window at just the right moment, I started laughing so hard that the other two people in the theater kept giving me dirty looks. Any time you have Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman in the same movie, you need Abbot and Costello to make it work. I still feel like this was written by a 14-year-old whose studio executive father promised he'd turn his screenplay into a major motion picture for his birthday. "But it had cool designs - " yeah, that's exactly what 14-year-olds think is all it takes to make a good movie.

Still one of the go-to movies. If they ran it on big screens again, I'd go and watch it for 101th time cause it is really one of those watchcable, movies digesting all together - decent cgi (for those times), breezy humor, a mindblowing non-conventional Dracula, awesome music, the overall dinamic - it is all so perfectly light and entertaining. by the way, as for the ring in Dracula's ear, you guys should'eve done better research, cause the ring is the throwback to the ancient times in Transylvania (the area of modern Hungary and Romania), the gypsy culture motives, - men in 13-17 centuries wore earrings in one or both ears. It was a common style for pirates and so on. Nothing too modern about that. It's a part of this reinvented dracula style and it looked freaking fresh.

For the record, this came in summer of 2004! I saw in theaters and loved it! I watch it every October.
