I have to admit I enjoyed this film probably more than should be legal. It still delights me. I love action movies, horror movies, and have a soft spot in my heart for all of Universal's monsters, as well as just about any movie ever done of Dracula. Yes, Peter Cushing is pitch perfect as Van Helsing, and Anthony Hopkins makes him an educated and entertaining psycho, but Hugh Jackman turns him into a dashing and lethal killing machine. Oddly enough they all work. The cast is great. Hugh Jackman, David Wenham, and Kate Beckinsale do a terrific job as the heroes. Richard Roxburgh delivers a Dracula that is charming, dangerous, and ridiculously self-absorbed, and Shuler Hensley comes very close to Mary Shelley's misunderstood monster. The pacing in this movie is on fast forward all the time, but is pretty much flawless. Everything is explained, even with several things happening at once and it all converges at the right moment.
