Eeeeeh, not as good as it could have been.

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2000)

While I agree that the character names, some of the dialog, and the overall plot (sans the romantic additions) were taken from the book, that is where the resemblance ends. What dialog does remain from the book is often inserted in the wrong place (eg, Mina's "will you do the same when my time comes" speech). The addition of a romantic plot deviated so incredibly from the book that at first I was unable to enjoy the film at all. Once I gave up and stopped trying to compare it to the novel, I liked it a lot more. This is a good movie, but it is NOT Bram Stoker's version of the tale.
