This movie is based on the Abraham Van Helsing, a character from 'Dracula' written by Bram Stoker. In the novel Van Helsing is just a professor, but in the movie he is an immortal hero!!

Actually there are not many action scenes. But I like it because it is easy to understand the story, and I love the fashion and atmosphere of this time. The costumes of characters are really cute!!! Also, some famous creatures or people appeared. For instance, Mr.Hyde, Frankenstein,

and Count Dracula, of course. They have a powerful personality, so I couldn't forget even though their scenes were short.

The other reason that I like this movie is the actor, Hugh Jackman. I've liked him very much since I watched the movie 'Kate & Leopold.' When I watched him, I was surprised because he is really so cool and his acting was very good!!!!!:)

I think you can enjoy it easily.

So if you have a time, please watch this movie!!
