One of the two best vampire movies of all time...

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2001)

With a beautiful cinematography, Coppola's awesome directing and incredible performances by Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins and Tom Waits, in a short but still incredible role, Dracula is one of my two favorite vampire movies of all time, along with Interview with The Vampire. This movie is one of the best looking of all times, although it doesn't quite reach Sleepy Hollow, the best looking movie in history. Costumes, make-up and cinematography all help to create the gorgeous look of the movie. The story is beautiful, although you can't really go wrong with a fairly faithful adaptation of Bram Stroker's classic. The one thing which bugs me is Keannu Reeves, which proves how untalented he is, without ruining the movie. I mean, you have to pity the guy for being such a lame actor in such an incredible cast. Anyway, the important thing is that this movie is a fascinating adaptation of the classic vampire story and should be seen by everyone who shows interest in good-looking movies with a great cast and a wonderful story. What more can I say? Now see it!
