The Best Dracula Movie I've Ever Seen!
Francis Ford Coppola does an excellent job retelling the Dracula tale using actual history blended with legend. Gary Oldman is excellent as the Count. Oldman's portrayal of the Count as a tortured man longing for the lost love of his life acutally had me feel sorry for the man. When he observes the portrait of Mina(Winona Ryder) and remembers his lost bride it is truly an awesome scene. Oldman's Count can also be bloodthirsty as well! Sir Anthony Hopkins as Professor Van Helsing is very fun to watch. To say that Van Helsing is a little nuts is an understatement! The music is also classic and it really sets the mood during the entire film. Winona Ryder as Mina playing a woman torn between the Count and her intended husband(Kneau Reeves) is well done. The most awesome scene is when the Count receives Mina's letter saying that she'll never see him again. You can feel the heartache and pain in the Count and also feel his anger. Awesome! A must see for the true Dracula fan!
Terrific!
Let me get this right off my chest: this movie really isn't that scary, but it isn't supposed to be! This new version of Dracula featuring some of Hollywood's best young talent, and directed by the legendary Francis Ford Copolla is an awesome movie. The most faithful film to the book yet, this film is an incredible, artistic moviemaking masterpiece! The movie stars Gary Oldman, Keanu Reeves, and Winona Ryder. It also atars Anthony Hopkins, who does a great job in the film. Gary Oldman is fantastic as Dracula, and he is a believable, spooky character. Keanu Reeves is actually pretty good in the film, but he doesn't show up much in the role of Jonathan Harker. Winona is compelling as the distressed Mina, but every now and then she tended to bore me. It is still a great acting effort! The sound in Dracula won an Academy Award, and for good reason! The music is compelling and a bit overdone, with sweeping movie strings and broad percussion. But the sound is exceptional, and it made my ears happy.
Visually, Dracula is astounding, and it was acknowledged by the Academy in this category as well. The costumes are incredible, and the set design is the best in the last ten years. It captures your eye at a fast pace, and really the whole movie is fast-paced, stunning, and a great thriller. Buyer beware, this is not another pathetic slasher film, but I don't care because I am not much into those films anyway. Dracula is depressing, beautiful, full of energy, and bursting with compassion. It is a must-see, five star effort in filmmaking!
Coppola no more
Can not give a full review as ejected this film after 30 mins.
keanu Reeves is cringeworthy in his role and destroyed the film.
How can a man create the godfather series abd then make this dung???
