Yes, the box set too with the original movies (making it the 3rd version of these films I will own).

I don't think there will be a sequel. [a] Whe the heck can he fight? and most importantly the new "New Universal" (old joke if you follow Universal's history) - aka NBC have been very critical of the film's content and box office.

No, because I got the Australian 2 disc (which came out on September 9) as a free review disc:

I think this film benefits from a second viewing. I disliked it at the cinema, but reviewing it gave me a chance to see it in a new light where I actually quite enjoyed it. Still, it is a weak film, just not quite as dismal as some would believe.

In Hong Kong, it's earlier than the US. The set's already in stores. Also, a retailer told me that The Day After Tomorrow will be coming before Tuesday, earlier than the US again...

I won't buy this movie. The special effects were pretty cool but other than that it's pure dung.

I'm not quite sure yet. The only way I will be buying it is if I get a job soon. And if I do get it, it'll be the 3-disc set.

I am a huge Stephen Sommers fan, I've enjoyed every one of his films. However this one really dissapointed me. The story was one-dimensional and not all that intruiging. The FX and incredible Silvestri score were the only things that saved the movie. So I won't be buying it, to sum it up.

This movie did poorly at the BO, relatively speaking compared to it's budget, so I highly doubt there will be a sequel, regardless of how many rentals and purchases there will be. Mummy did extremely well, hence the sequel.

I may end up buying it(!) simply for the high cheese factor. If you don't take the film seriously, it's gut-bustingly funny! :D

I especially love this parody piece I found a while ago - Van Helsing in Fifteen Minutes. :lol:

the only reason why I went to see this was because my friends went and they only went to see because it's loosely based on the Hellsing anime

The moral: dont waste $6 on a mediocre movie unless you've actually heard of the anime its based on

YARGH!
