I wasn't the biggest fan.

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2007)

I didn't really like it. I really liked the novel and I thought that the movie was eccentric and a little over the top. Everyone I was with was laughing at the erratic blood eruptions and the melodrama of the whole thing. The 1931 was a bit better. I would go for that one even though the technology was certainly more primitive then. I didn't think the acting was that bad - Anthony Hopkins was a funny Van Helsing and Keanu Reeves did a decent job. Winona Ryder was pretty good and Gary Oldman was really creepy. So I can't say anything about the portrayals ~ the movie itself was just a little too over the top and filled with unneeded pathos for my taste.
