Hello everybody, I am Sonia from Bilbao (Basque Country), I am new in this forum and the reason why I am posting a message here is that I would like to comment something about the latest film played by the Australian actors Hugh Jackman and Richard Roxburgh 'Van Helsing'.
I have recently seen this extraordinary epic film in which the brilliant combination of an original story (the mixture of the three classic monsters, Frankenstein, Dracula and the Werewolf has never seen before in the big screen) and good perfomances makes the film a total recommendable movie for all those who, like myself, enjoy horror movies. In fact, I am going to see it again tonight. Never have I had such a wonderful time in the cinema! Apart from the fact that I really love horror films, specially those made by the British producer Hammer and that I consider the best ones, the mere fact of seing Richard Roxburgh playing the role of Dracula, made me watch it again. He is incredibly sexy as the Count, although I would have prefered to see him with a less appearence of a gipsy, because Dracula was not a gipsy and I do not have anything against these people, of course. But it would have been better if Richard had had another look.
But it does not really matter, he plays his role very well and the fight against Van Helsing (another incredibly sexy Australian actor) was the best thing in the whole movie. This is why from the beginning to the end the film catches the attention of the public and it is impossible to get bored.
Everybody who loves this kind of Gothic films should see it.
