By far, the best movie by Coppola

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 2008)

Well, I must confess : I'm not a Coppola's fan and from what I've seen from his work is pure s*t, specially the Godfather trilogy...
(NB : wonder why everyone thinks the G trilogy is a classic... Kubrick is fair-play arguing that's a good movie, since Kubrick was intelligent).
Anyway, from all Coppola's movies, this one is only that deserves 8/10 (and believe me, I'm really generous and nice this time) : I read the book, I've seen almost all vampire's movies and my veredict is clear, Coppola's is the closest (with Nosferatu by Murnau) to Stoker's idea.
By the way, making this movie a nice work : all the actors were very good (even Keanu Reeves, who does a quite acceptable acting), Sir Anthony (Van Helsing) and Master Gary (Vlad Dracul) are trustful trademarks for an excellent movie (well... if you exclude Hannibal and Air Force One, but that wasn't their fault)...
Not to forget, recreating Victorian England, the Mideval Rumania and all the rest of the goodies, this is an interesting movie.
Thanks and don't let me be misunderstood !
