Can you please tell me what it's about?
Having recently read Dracula I can't see how the film makes any sense at all. From what I gather, in the film he goes around slaying numerous famous creatures from horror stories and is a fairly young man and a good, fearless fighter. The only similarity I can see is that he has a good knowledge of vampires.
So, can anybody explain?

There were a couple of films made years ago with Van Helsing as the main character.
He wasn't a fighter dude though, he was, as you said, a professor (though in the one IO saw he was 60 or so, so I assume this one was old, I know there was a sequel because of the way he talked to Dracula at the end "I meet you again blah blah").
Anyway, the one I saw had 7 Japanese dudes with different weapons that fought people.
It was awful, but I watched it anyway.

In Dracula he's meant to be an old man, he's like a mentor type person to one of the other characters, Dr Seward.
it's an exercise in attaching an ok idea to a bloated effects budget, then tacking a really, REALLY crap ending onto it and charging £4 to see it.
To be honest, the ending to the book seemed a bit of a let down. After almost 400 pages of building up to it I hoped for a bit more than I got.
Right then, I watched the film last night and all I can say is hahaha. What a mess. The inclusion of Frankenstein and his monster, and Mr. Hyde were completely pointless. Also, I like the way the managed to completely rewrite Van Helsing's back story so instead of being a married professor from Holland, he's an orphan brought up by monks who goes round killing monsters. Oh, and the messing up of the mythology behind how to kill vamires was stupid too.
Finally, the ending was awful.

Gosh, it's such a cliche but [URL]http://www.theshiznit.co.uk/review.php?id=22[/URL]
It's honestly one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I had pretty low expectations going in. I loved the horse and cart jumping over the hole in the bridge, the constant swinging and trying to figure out what was fighting what in the final battle (it looked like a big CGI blob).
Dracula was gay.
