I like VAN HELSING.
C'mon don't you REALLY wish that the Monster Rally films of the 1940s had plots more along these lines? With Dracula really plotting, the Monster more than just a prop, and monsters battling monsters (against the frenzy of the mob!)
I posted elsewhere that I enjoyed the movie for these reasons, regardless of the valid criticisms - maybe it helps that I havent seen all the movies this borrows from. And I certainly dont enjoy all monster movies, or when they re-use Classic Universal monsters. At least there werent any annoying kids (ie Monster Squad).
