The Best Film! The Best Film of 1992! Francis Ford Copppla's Best! Even Better than The Godfather!

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2000)

The updated version of Dracula is much better than rest because Francis Ford Coppola uses the adaptation in which Bram Stoker used in 1897! Surely this could not have been the 1931 Bela Lugosi version. This version tells us more explcitly about Dracula's diabolique Brides in which lure Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) so viciously whilst Mina (Winona Ryder)! The best part of the film as I recall was Sexy Lucy Westenra (Sadie Frost)She was at her most humorous when Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) showed her a crucifix. She broke out in a violent failure overture and then just laid back in her coffin as if nothing happend!! Ha ha ha ha ha! Then she sprayed blood on him, remember the pea-soup in The Exorcist? Most of the film was very steady although the segments with Keanu were very uneven, though the dreary and elaborate sets cover up most of the plot holes.Sadie Frost was immaculate as the naughty red-head Lucy Westenra. Remember Richard E. Grant from "Henry and June" his portrayal of the troubled Dr. Seward was ample and important.Keanu was a real wimp and portrayed it well. Again, Anthony Hopkins is another eccentric Doctor. And Winona sparkles as Elisabeta/Mina Murray in this masterpiece! And Gary Oldman was perfect for our favorite bloodsucking malicious Count.Way to go Frank! If you haven't seen this film, I strongly recommend that you persue it the next time you visit your local video store. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!!! See Ya Later Disregard the July 28 comments.
