So? Still an awesome movie with the best Werewolves I've ever seen in a movie.
Van Helsing is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. Not that I think it's particularly bad (though I don't particularly care for Frankenstein's Monster's design). The effects are wonderful and it's a great romp through silliness and a good light movie to watch during October.
The reason I brought it up is because it's like saying Mr. Hyde is this giant lumbering ape-man (as shown in Van Helsing) when really that's not the case in the source material, or that Thor is a super hero. It's fine to cite the new versions of the character, but I wouldn't describe the plot of the anime Hellsing if someone asked me about Dracula.
