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

 Awesome Looking Blu Ray dics February 9, 2010
David K. (TN)
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 !!!!!!!!!

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.
"My life, my job, my curse is to vanquish evil." Blu ray review! January 18, 2010

And my job is to tell you what a great movie this is, and how eye poppingly wow the blu-ray is! A wonderful horror-adventure story paying homage to the universal monster movie classics! Hugh Jackman is fantastic in the lead role as Van Helsing and the rest of the cast make this a fun watch. Plenty of tongue and cheek moments but the action and scares will make you jump too. Completely enjoyable.
NOW FOR MY BLU-RAY THOUGHTS: For those of you who own the ultimate edition this blu-ray version comes with all the extras except for the original universal monster movies (Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolfman). If you want those I suggest picking up the special editions on DVD. As for the look and sound of this movie...WOW!!! DEMO DISC!!! SHOW THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS!!! ABSOLUTELY WORTHY TO UPGRADE!!!
