While my interest in this film waned a bit thanks to Kate's other "genre" piece, the lukewarm UNDERWORLD, I was pleasantly surprised with this enjoyable little romp. The acting was uniformly good, the special effects weren't as annoying as in most CGI films, and thanks mainly to (the always brilliant) David Wenham there were some funny moments. Kate Beckinsale was as beautiful as always, but this time she was upstaged by Elena Anaya. I really hope this young woman, surpassing the "stardom" achieved by her Countrywoman Penelope Cruz. She is infinitely more attractive and more talented than Miss Cruz. VAN HELSING maybe a little long, and the ending a little weak, but generally I enjoyed the film greatly. 8/10.
Another great moment in World History will be forgotten as future American Generations (and eventually the world's) take this garbage as gospel. Instead of the battle for Troy taking 20-25 years, the history books will have it ending in 20-25 days. According to History, Helen was supposed to be the great beauty, but the Helen in this picture was barely passable. I would have traveled the high seas to fight for Hector's wife or cousin, but Troy could have "that" Helen. I could go on, but I really can't be bothered, the film isn't worth it.
0.5 point for the scenery. 1 point each for Eric Bana and Rose Byrne who are the only two actors who can hold their heads high.
2.5/10

What a truly pathetic film this is. I'm embarrassed at having sat through it, so imagine how humiliating it must be for the people who starred in it. Very unimaginative, and nothing we havn't seen before. The one highlight was the swimsuit scene, or more to the point the "America's Finest" wearing them. When is Eliza Dushku going to get away from the mindless teen garbage that seems to spewing endlessly from the minds of Hollywood's most idiotic screenwriters. What a waste of talent. Finally, a little plea to the Aging Alternate Icon. Hank (Henry Rollins) stick with your music and your spoken word tours, cause you can't act. Not that you can sing either.
