Just my thoughts on one of my favorite movies of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2000)

The casting for this film was great. The movie didn't include all the details of the book but it showed key elements. I loved Winona Ryder as Mina and Gary Oldman's portrayal of Dracula. The scene where the wolves are howling outside of the castle as he says "the children of the night, oh what beautiful music they make" and the look in his eyes were very believable. Keanu and Winona also portray their characters very well and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Van Helsing was very entertaining. The quick shots, ie. when Dracula stalked Lucy, also added to the effect well. I also thought the backgrounds and sites were perfect. Hey and the three seducing vampires were not bad either, of course they were not as captivating as Mina. One of my all time favorite movies.
