While I didn't like Van Helsing except as MST3k fodder, it did have a fairly pimped-out plotline -- Dracula using Frankenstein's body as a catalyst to produce a legion of undead children, with a guy who hates supernatural monsters slowly turning into a werewolf while trying to stop Dracula and the woman he likes angry at him because he killed her brother after he turned into a werewolf? C'mon. It's not a good plot, but it's pimped out enough to walk around in a pink fur coat and enormous floppy hat.And c'mon, the Dracster was totally angsty. The guy has three (oops, two, oops, one) wives, and they're all hanging around wailing because they can't have kids and dressed like extras in a Meatloaf video. If I had that kind of frustration going on, I'd be pretty angsty myself.No argument about badly written characters, although that was just a subset of "badly written movie", right there next to "woman slams headfirst into wall and facefirst into stone column and gets blasted across the room by vampire chick with no ill effects, but dies when knocked onto a big plush couch."</blockquote>
