Suspension of Disbelief

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2004)

The criticism that has been linked to "Van Helsing" has gotten to the unreasonable level. There is a statement used when viewing science fiction / fantastic works: "The suspension of Disbelief". Essentially there are some realities that need to be overlooked when viewing set work (Van Helsing). The one that come foremost to mind is relation of time.
1) The span of time between the full moons is not continuous chain, therefore the passing of even a month between Van Helsing's arrival to the town and his own turning can be ignored. 2) As for the chime of 1 through 12 of the clock, many large clock towers can take up 12 minutes to ring twelve times. This is still a stretch to imagine this happening in only twelve minutes, but as a friend of mine would say "There are werewolves fighting Vampires and friars having sex, but this is the part that you choose not to believe." Suspend your disbelief on the little stuff, and eventually you might go to a movie that you would enjoy.
p.s. A frier is a device in which food is cooked, and a friar is a studying catholic.
