Gabriel Van Helsing

Gabriel Van Helsing is the main protagonist of the 2004 action horror film Van Helsing. He was played by Hugh Jackman.

Why He’s The Great Van Helsing

 * 1) He is a well-made modernization of the monster hunter.
 * 2) Hugh Jackman pulled off a very convincing British accent and is considered one of his more underrated roles.
 * 3) He is very supportive to Friar Carl, Frankenstein’s Monster and Anna Valerious.
 * 4) His werewolf form was unexpected and hardcore at the same time.
 * 5) His crossbow is cleverly inspired by Castlevania.
 * 6) He had some funny lines such as “I’ll bet that’s upsetting.”

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be seen as a copy of Wolverine due to his memory loss and they share the same actor.
 * 2) Him defeating Dracula and the death of Anna Valerious was anticlimactic.

Trivia

 * Hugh Jackman returned to voice Van Helsing in the animated prequel short film The London Assignment and a video game based on the film.
