I’ve seen Van Helsing at least a dozen times and I never tire watching it. I’m not so keen about vampirish stuff but this movie isn’t that ’dark’ or spooky. With its humorous bits, fantastic soundtrack and great cast I think it’s one of the few great movies. However, I cannot say that it’s one of the best ’cause compared to LOTR it’s practically nil.
I fell in love with the soundtrack, though, and Mr.Van Helsing’s part is played excellently by Hugh Jackman...I highly recommend it to anyone who loved the way Jackman acted in all of the X-Men movies. Though the character is different, he manages to fulfill the strong-yet-confused kinda guy in these movies. For those who are into soundtracks I suggest you should listen to it; it’s exceptionally awesome! As for the other cast, I think they’re also more than OK especially that count Dracula and his "brides".
