Van Helsing is in fact directed by the chap who did "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns", as you probably already realize. Based on the director's resume, I'm already inclined to give the Van Helsing a big pass. I'd say there's more than a 90% chance that it will be super flakey (read: flakey as pastry or perhaps a nice croissant).
While I believe there is entertainment to be had from the occasional lightweight action movie, I draw the line at films that are completely shallow and stylistic -- what I strongly suspect this movie will be. I think I'll wait for Troy to come out before returning to the theatres.
