Van Helsing

[Vandiablo]

The references (tributes? rip-offs?) come so fast and furious that I lost count in the first 5-minute black and white sequence. Probably the funniest one is when the werewolf does a Wylie Coyote imitation (twice!) and falls off an enormous cliff, seen from overhead, with complete silence and that tiny little *poof* in the center of the screen.

Yes, the review I saw said that you should go in expecting "a fun, roller coaster, comic book" movie, i.e., not a serious movie. Don't take it seriously and it's okay.... However, I just saw one like that ("League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and what annoyed me was my feeling that, "you know, they could have done it much better".
