Great Movie

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2001)

It's definitely a good movie, in the old style but still with great special effects. Pay some special attention to Dracula's shadow and his castle. I haven't been able to figure out what is up and what is down in his castle.
The movie has a great cast, Gary Oldman (Dracula), Winona Ryder (Mina), Anthony Hopkins (Dr. Van Helsing) and Keanu Reeves (Jonathan). They all do a great job, especially Oldman and Hopkins. Goldman has a lot of make-up as the older Dracula and a pretty heavy costume. Hopkins plays a weird character, who acts.well..weird. Also pay attention to Jonathans hair and Mina's character. They both change in a strange way. Lucy is the humor source in this movie, she does a couple of funny things. Also the men who wish to marry her, act pretty funny when they compete each other.
There's of course some romance in it, because Dracula thinks Mina is the reincarnation of his lost love Elisabeta. I only didn't like it that Dracula was able to walk in the sunlight. In the book he couldn't and vampires just shouldn't be able to do that.
But besides that it's definitely worth watching.
