Van Helsing offers a mix of action and horror that entertains but might not appeal to everyone due to its dark themes and intense scenes. The visuals are quite impressive, capturing the gothic essence of the storyline. However, the plot and character development could have been deeper. Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale deliver strong performances, which are highlights of the film.
