The Most Romantic & The Most Stupid Dracula Ever

Rating: 5/10 (12 February 2008)

When I first heard about this film I've tought that it is going to be a great film,but...now, when I have seen it, I can't say any nice word about it. The list of in-discrepancies is very long,it goes on and on, for example: 1. Coppola calls the movie Bram Stokers Dracula, and it clearly isn't. 2. Coppola chooses Keanu Reaves for the part of Johnathan who is, don't get me wrong a good actor just not in this movie. 3. The film seems to have been edited to deliberately remove all suspense and narrative flow from the story. 4. The most cinematic moments of the book (the Demeter Crossing, Lucy's first sighting of the Count, the death of Lucy's mother, Lucy escaping Van Helsing, the fight between Reinfield and the Count, the tracking down of the Counts coffins) are lost or skipped over. Movie which in it's title contains word "Dracula" does not deserve this kind of treatment. In my opinion the reasons that this movie is disappointment are awful script and poor acting of Keanu Reaves and Winona Ryder. Huge disappointment: 5/10
