Saw Van Helsing this afternoon. Nice way to waste a couple of hours - doesn't exactly tax the brain, never entirely serious and very pretty to look at.


And much better than Underworld. :)

Shame that Frankenstein's Monster kept reminding me of Kryten from Red Dwarf, though... :)

Me 'n' the Cute BF thought it was a scream, too. It *definitely* pissed all over Underworld, which went for style over content to a point which made The Matrix look like Shakespeare. Himself thought that Van Helsing was very Rocky Horror in terms of the amount of camp humour and referential stuff, silly but fun.

I nitpicked hugely about Kate Beckinsale's costume, mind you. What idiot wardrobe person thought that it was even *vaguely* appropriate or consistent, in any period of history you care to mention?

Consistent? In a film where people can happily ricochet off walls without a scratch... until the fatal moment when they can't... I think you expect too much. :)

But still... yep, pretty and great fun...
