Even the special effects couldn't save this for me. My overwhelming feeling when watching it was that I was seeing a move made for small children... A real big let down.

I thought the film was really bad, probably like a 4/10. The story was so-so, the acting was really cheesy, there were a lot of pointless scenes, I just didn't really care what happened to any of the characters, so all the battles were plain boring to me as well. Obviously just not my type of film.

just saw this movie last night.... and my opinion is it's garbage... i give it a D... they take three horror icons and stick them in a PG-13 setting...and if that's not bad enough, every single "normal" person in this movie (that should be prey) looked like they came out of the Spiderman 2 trailer before the movie. not for even one second did i feel dread or nervous for these characters because they all had superhuman agility and duribility. the plot was garbage, like the poster above said....ooooh vampire baby's that grow out of egg sacs that need electricity to live...makes alot of sense.....and as soon as dracula called van helsing gabriel, i knew he was the angel gabriel...special effects were unrealistic and shitty,for people that said the special effects were good.....would you be happy with LOTR or matrix if they had these effects? i know i wouldn't

other parts of the movie didn't make any sense, one is near the beginning where the bitches brother is in the tree and the werewolf is chasing the girl... somehow he gets down from the tree, outruns a charging wereworf in time to push his sister to safety.....now these are the same werewolves that can outrun a wagon drawn by 46 horses...

i'm glad i went to the drive in to see this....$7 and we got to see van helsing and dawn of the dead....at least DOTD was worth the $7
