One of the Best Vampire Movies

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2004)

I thought it was a really exciting movie--as good as Blade (another vampire movie), and as good as The Mummy (which has a similar love story in it). Unlike the book, they actually show Dracula's motivation behind his actions. Otherwise, it's fairly accurate to the book (for a 2-hour movie), thought it's much better than the book--more understandable, more exciting, less long, better dialog. The costumes are beautiful, and they also fit the time period. The music is good, and also fits with the movie since it sounds dark, and some parts sound Transylvanian. Keanu Reeves is the only one that doesn't quite fit in--his British accent needs some work. But overall, a great movie.
