A new script reviewer, by the name of "T.H." checks into the game at Screenwriter's Voice, with a review of this May's "Van Helsing". No information is given on the draft date or at what stage the script was at that he reviewed.

His review is summed up thusly, and what we've all been hearing for a while, albeit from insiders' whispers: "If you're a fan of [Stephen Sommer]'s work, you'll enjoy it, without a doubt, but for those hard-core genre fans looking for something new and memorable... move along, there's nothing to see here. There's simply not an ounce of originality in the Van Helsing script, and by the time it appears on movie screens this May, the only thing that will be fully developed is a lot of computer effects and money shots, a fully realized visual treat riding on the flimsiest of stories...it's a not-so-subtle variation of Men in Black or Hellboy."

Definitely a script reviewer I'm anxious to hear from again, he has a nice clean writing style that I like.
