The best Dracula movie since Bela Lugosi's version

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2009)

I read the book, and this movie is the closest movie tying to the original book. The acting is great, starring Gary Oldman, Winona Rider and Keanu Reeves were excellent. Anthony Hopkins plays a great role, one of his best since Hannibal Lecter.
The atmosphere was great too, it made Bran Castle a very chilling environment with an even more chilling owner, Count Dracula.
My only problem is, the effects. They were GREAT, but sometimes they'd throw them in in any random place. Are the characters imagining it? Or is it really happening?
Example: SPOILER: While Keanu is on a train on his way to Transylvania, he reads a letter written by Count Dracula. What looks like Draculas eyes are in the sky outside the window of the train. Was Dracula watching him?
Overall, I give this movie 9 stars.
