Van Helsing looks like it has tons of potential, but it also looks like one of those flics that could easily be complete crap, too. Although I was one of the few people in the country who didn't have a problem with League Of Extrordinary Gentlemen. Wasn't a great movie, but it didn't deserve the critical shit canning it got either. If Van Helsing has the same style, with maybe a little harder edge, it should be alright.
And for the record, Underworld was completely underwelming. It was pretty built up for so long, that when I actually saw it, I knew in the first few minutes that is was going to be extremely ordinary.
