Van Helsing meets lots of other movies

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2004)

Don't read if you want to keep all the surprises. *little spoiler alert*
Great movie if you like the scared by surprise effect. In Van Helsing we see the Mr. G van Helsing as a lean mean vampire ass-kicking fighting machine. There are a lot of questions in my head after seeing this movie like:
-Where have I heard before something like the bad guy's father is the good guy? (I thought it was the other way around somewhere in a galaxy far far away...)
-Same moviesixtology; since when do we always burn the bodies of dead people? (Qui-Gon Jinn it was if I remember correctly. A pity ending for Ms Beckinsale.)

Wasn't there another movie in which the good guy had the ring of the bad guy, while the bad guys ring finger was chopped off? (In both the bad guy won't get it back by the way...)

And so on, and so on.
You should really go for the effects, it is quite a shooting, hooters helicopters-film, only no helicopters... guess they weren't invented yet then.But in stead you get loads of other flying thingies.
