Amazon.co.uk Review
Bram Stoker's original literary Van Helsing dispatched his nemeses of the night with just a crucifix, a few simple wooden stakes, and a dash of garlic. But this CGI-driven, 21st-century Hollywood take on the vampire hunter is bigger, bolder and, judging from veteran Alan Silvestri's thunderous goth-on-steroids orchestral score, definitely more bombastic. Courtesy of director/big-budget monster revivalist Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King), Hugh Jackman's title character now faces off against Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, a giant werewolf, and Mr Hyde.

With an appropriate lack of subtlety, Silvestri seasons the action-set pieces with some gloomy, Herrmann-esque brass, jolting doses of massed percussion, the occasional shrieking choral homage to Carmina Burana--and (for some ears) precious too little of Franz Waxman's haunting, neo-Romantic horror-film lyricism. But then, overwrought popcorn epics call for overwrought popcorn scores, and the bold, epic scale of Silvestri's music can't be denied; it has as much alternately jolting/nervous energy as a double-dose of caffeine. Enhanced CD features include an interactive game trailer, gameplaying clues, a photo gallery and preview of a comic book merchandising tie-in. --Jerry McCulley, Amazon.com

I was unsure as to how good this would be, but I was truely satisfied and have listened to it over 20times since it arrived last week. It gives you extras including a cheat for the Xbox, PS2 and Gameboy Advance Van Helsing Game. It also gives you pictures from the film and access to a sample comic. There are several catchy tunes that you will love!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Indeed, in the final track 'Reunited', the main melodic motif is very similiar to one in his soundtrack for 'The Mummy Returns'. Having said that, this soundtrack is very good, and fits in very well with the style of the film. It has great instrumentation (particularly the use of percussion!), melodic lines and harmonic structure that are characteristic of a great soundtrack, and while listening to it, particularly the 'battle scene' tracks, it really does make you feel like you're back in the cinema watching the film for the first time! It also comes with some extra features including the van helsing game trailer, hints for the game, a preview of the van helsing comic book, and a photo gallery. It also comes with a mini poster, and I highly recommend it for any film music fan!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
