beeeeep!

Van Helsing... Urgh

I got talked into going to see it. It's... really not all that good.

There are really two sorts of film when people talk about a movie being a 'non-brainer'.

There's the no-thought-movie, where you don't have to worry too much about the why's and how's of what's happening, you just get on with enjoying it. But then there's the no-central-nervous-system-movie, where the possesion of even one cell of nerve tissue somewhere in your body can ruin watching the film because it's just so fucking stupid.

Frequently incoherent. Numerous dodgy special effects that are not quite as good as they could/should have been. A great deal of general inexplicability to the why and how, above and beyond hand-waving and glossing over.

I read this version of the movie again earlier. It really does describe it very well.

HELSINGWOLF: *claws go snick*

ROXULA: NO FAIR STEALING FROM OTHER MOVIES!

HELSINGWOLF: Dude, this whole movie is stolen from other movies.
