Nothing like the book

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2011)

I am watching the movie as i write this, and i am 42 minutes in, and so far nothing i have seen was in the book. For example, the book mentions Mina seeing a 'dark figure' with glowing red eyes behind Lucy, not a werewolf raping her on a bench. another is that Dracula was not in love with Mina, nor do i remember the book mentioning anything about Dracuala's love affairs. The three Vampires came to Jonathan while he was sleeping, or so they thought, but retreated their attack after seeing his crucifix, nowhere in the book does it mention him having an orgy with the three. What ever happened to walking into Dracula in his sleep and seeing a young Man. i understand that the directors can put all the details, because it would lead to a 5 hours movie, but they could've at least made it more accurate. some anal details, like when Lucy is telling Mina about the three men it was in a letter, not a personal encounter between the two. All in all it is not a bad movie, but in terms of the book it is nothing like it.
