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?

Has to be entertaining though, and the original Van Helsing looks like it would have made for an even worse movie than what we got.

But if somebody made a film about Moses you'd expect it to follow the traditional storie rather than turning him into a world class surfer who parts the waves purely to be able to perform better tricks. Same principle applies here.

It's a movie, it doesn't have to make sense.
It has to be good though, which is something that Van Helsing very much is not.
There's a plot somewhere. It's just all this comedy-ness has blocked it out. Watch it, it's very good.
