PURE CRAPPOLA

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2001)

BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA??? Come on already! It should be titled FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA'S DRACULA. Stoker had nothing to do with this heartless, soulless, JUST PLAIN DULL adaptation of his most famous novel. Gary Oldman, who is a decent actor, makes a fool of himself-even though Keanu Reeves outdoes him big time with his phony British accent. Of course, the ending was the icing on the cake-totally ludicrous- not to mention the portrayal of Dracula as some sort of Christ figure. All of which make this film PURE CRAPPOLA! I'll stick with the 1931 Bela Lugosi classic.
