I totally agree about good monster stories being about nature of humanity and god - the best are really existential, particularly the novel Frankenstein. I can't imagine how anyone would bring that off cramming all those monsters plus turning the "shaman" character of van Helsing into a hunk in an Indiana Jones hat. (I also agree about Hugh Jackman.) I think I will wait for this one to hit cable.
