Van Helsing (2004) throws Hugh Jackman into a gothic monster mash—battling Dracula, werewolves, and Frankenstein’s creature with over-the-top action! This ‘00s blockbuster mixes cheesy CGI, wild stunts, and a plot as tangled as a Transylvanian forest. It might just be a hidden gem of monster movie madness. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) cranks up the prequel mess with Hayden Christensen’s wooden Anakin romancing Padmé amid CGI armies and Jar Jar’s reduced role (thank goodness). George Lucas delivers lightsaber duels, clunky dialogue (“I don’t like sand”), and a plot that’s as convoluted as Yoda’s grammar. Is this a sci-fi epic or total trash?
