Van Helsing Trailer

[Ash]

I thought I'd post the link to the trailer for this film in case any of you haven't seen it yet.

This movie looks f**kin' SWEET!!
I will most definitely be going to see this one!

What do you think?

I dunno...

I'll give it a try, of course.  It does look fairly cool.  But it also looks over CGI'ed and suffering from OM (over-monster - the occasional custom of cramming as many famous literary mosters as possible into one film, rather than giveing any one of them the screen time they deserve).

looks good to me, sure it has an actress I cant stand but I'ma big fan of stephen sommers work.

I think i had a different idea, it might be good. It just sorta has that "underworld" look to it. But what's the deal with throwing frankenstein and wolfman in there?! I thought i was in for a straight old fashioned vampire old world flick

You know, that's what I was hoping for, too.

Can't do that, though - even Hollywood must have noticed how badly pure vamp movies have done lately.

Stephen Sommers must be a fan of The Monster Squad.  Really though, this could be entertaining.  I'm of the opinion that Sommers' "Mummy" remakes are sort of mediocre, but he's shown himself capable of brilliant b-movie cheese with "Deep Rising," so here's hoping "Van Helsing" will be something more akin to the latter.
