Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (4 August 2014)

What a absolute disappointed was this movie to the point of total annoyance. When it started it was absolutely stunning, the styling, the sensuality, the effects (for 1992), great imagery. And then suddenly it seems like the budget was gone, they cut vital parts from the movie (ok Prince Vlad is Dracula but we never see the transformation) and they finished it quickly. From the moment Jonathan and von Helsing burn the earth the movies turns fully the other way from high quality to 1930's board-carton special studio effect. The storyline is brought quickly to an end, the chase and fight that should be the climax is just a joke so cheap it was made. Even in 1992 this was probably laughable, maybe good for the 1930's. And there are many more, Dracula should rest in his own ground, but why then is he hanging like a bat on the ceiling at night (why is it still in boxes), when he is supposed to be most active? What is this guy in the jail having to do with everything? With the corruption of the original story this movie never should have been released and anyone that admires great classic literature should have risen against it.
Absolutely annoying after such a great start of the movie. And it kept me annoyed several days afterwards
