Its boring story is backed by its even more boring performances. Aside from Gary Oldman, there's little warm blood in this cold adaptation.

The story is about a young lawyer travels to a gloomy eastern European village, where the local count, Dracula, takes an interest in him. He learns too late the count is a powerful vampire, one who would very much like take his wife-to-be, Mina, for his own. This movie has a cool Dracula and good make-up and good costumes.

Love the costuming and the unique depiction of Dracula. Very intriguing film. Some may find it weird and disturbing but that's why it's so fantastic. This film makes me want to read the novel. Winona Ryder is gorgeous and amazing as always. It's an artistic film which might be the reason it has received criticism. I loved this version. It's not over the top scary vampire stuff, it goes into humanity and reality in a way that isn't done today with horror.

Is that as a pose to Barbara Taylor Bradford's Dracula? Gary Oldman makes an unusually human Count, but otherwise this is a hideously miscast and laughably over-directed vanity project that irritates on every level.

Though there are some interesting production design choices, this is a silly and unnecessary retread of the Dracula story. Gary Oldman's Count Dracula is a leering, over-the-top creep and Keanu Reeves is wooden and boring as the hero. There are far better adaptations of the famous horror story.

Gary Oldman as Count Dracula / Vlad III the Impaler was fascinating, Anthony Hopkins as Professor Abraham Van Helsing / Priest impressive and Winona Ryder as Mina Harker was believable. The effects was note-worthy and score apt. If only the supporting cast, a better/interesting plot and more scary outlook would have made this film more memorable. Dracula is a horror flick worthy for viewing because its talented artists, unfortunately nothing could be said of Bellucci and Reeves.

A more expensive update of the classic story. It's good looking, with some solid f/x and actors. It stays fairly close to the book. Should've been more frightening.

I'm quite a purist when it comes to taking a popular novel and making a movie out of it, if the book is quite lengthy, then make a 4 Hr. film, don't cut it just so American audiences will go see it. Coppola takes quite a few liberties with the classic book and fails. The acting, besides Hopkins is sub-par. It's visually stunning, but go sit down with the novel and read it.

Action: 2/3 + Comedy: 0.5/2 + Good vs Evil: 1/1 + Love/Sex: 1/1 + Special Effects: 0.5/1 + Plot: 0.5/1 + Music: 1/1 = 6.5/10 or 65%. Gary Oldman plays Dracula well though his supporting cast, including Sir Anthony, never find their place. Much of the focus rather falls on the mood and setting which eventually dominate the whole production leaving the audience with some witty visuals to recall, but not much else.

The musical score and lush, colorful visuals give the film a gravity, almost a heaviness. Gary Oldman revels in it, but Keanu Reeves was a odd choice to play Harker. In the long history of Dracula films, this is certainly not the worst, but isn't the best either. Worth a viewing, though, for any horror fan.
