Product Description
Universal Van Helsing - HD-DVD
Legendary monster hunter "Van Helsing" (Hugh Jackman) is summoned to mysterious Transylvania on a mission that will thrust himinto a sweeping battle against the forces of darkness! With non-stop action and electrifying special effects, "Van Helsing" is an adrenaline-powered motion picture event Roger Ebert calls "Spectacular!"
Amazon.com
Like a roller coaster ready to fly off its rails, Van Helsing rockets to maximum velocity and never slows down. Having earned blockbuster clout with The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, writer-director Stephen Sommers once again plunders Universal's monster vault and pulls out all the stops for this mammoth $148-million action-adventure-horror-comedy, which opens (sans credits) with a terrific black-and-white prologue that pays homage to the Universal horror classics that inspired it. The plot pits legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) against Dracula (the deliciously campy Richard Roxburgh), his deadly blood-sucking brides, and the Wolfman (Will Kemp) in a two-hour parade of outstanding special effects (980 in all) that turn Sommers' juvenile plot into a triple-overtime bonus for CGI animators. In alliance with a Transylvanian princess (Kate Beckinsale) and the Frankenstein monster (Shuler Hensley), Van Helsing must prevent Dracula from hatching his bat-winged progeny, and there's so much good-humored action that you're guaranteed to be thrilled and exhausted by the time the 10-minute end-credits roll. It's loud, obnoxious, filled with revisionist horror folklore, and aimed at addicted gamers and eight-year-olds, but this colossal monster mash (including Mr. Hyde, just for kicks) will never, ever bore you. A sequel is virtually guaranteed. --Jeff Shannon

I've just started collecting BR's right after I bought my PS3 and I wish I had been purchasing them sooner. I also have the standard dvd of this movie and the difference between dvd and br is phenomenal. Love the trilogy. Blu Ray FTW!
GOOD MOVIE February 8, 2010
Finally retired (Someplace, OH)
My granddaughter loves this movie. I bought it for her because the first one she owned got all scratched up. She watches this movie all the time, especially when the weather is bad and she can't go outside. We sometimes watch it together on "family movie night" ...
besides ... who doesn't love Hugh Jackman !!!!!!!!!
 A Sad, Sad Little Movie. January 24, 2010

Van Helsing was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Not to mention being a huge disappointment, as I was really looking forward to seeing it. I expected a dark, serious movie, not a "fun" and insanely cheesy kids movie. It was so bad they didn't even bother to make a sequel (guess you don't know everything, amazon reviewer guy).
I think my issues with this movie could be summed up easily enough by the fact that this is supposedly a VAMPIRE movie, yet there isn't a single drop of blood in the entire film.
