Mega budget doesn't make a good movie.

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2001)

O.K.This is the most expensive dracula film of all times.That doesn't make it the best though.In fact the only thing I like in this movie is the,beyond belief,fantastic soundtrack.Other than that,there are too many flaws in the movie.First of all it is not such a faithfull adaption of the book as many would have you believe!There's too much romance in this movie.The actors,although big names all of them,are awful.Gary Oldman as Dracula is ridiculous.I hate him.He is not creepy at all.Winona Ryder as Mina is o.k,and Keanu Reaves as Harker is really good.But the huge disappointment is Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing.He makes Van Helsing look really foolish.This is the worst part Hopkins has ever performed!!The film is slow and dull.It is clear that is was made for big audiances,much bigger than your average horror film.If you are a horror fan you won't like this,if you're not you will.I expected much more though.A missed oportunity for vampire though.
