Well Scout... while I can concur with your opinion of the original works....
this movie has nothing to do with accurate documentation of several
novels..... it has however all to do with action adventure and fantasy! As
such it succeeded as far as I'm concerned.

One must Relax and learn to enjoy the voyage.....

too true Bob,
there are too many people out there who don't know that 'Frankenstein' and
'The Raven' are two of the most beautiful love stories ever written.

Chronicles of Riddick was pretty good but not as
good as Van Helsing.


No wonder literature and reading are dying when people think Van Helsing
is a
good movie.
