The Ultimate Vampire Movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2010)

This is the ultimate vampire movie. But before i will tell you about all the things i like about it i gonna rant about the things i don't like(HERE ARE SOME SPOILERS BUT I WON'T GIVE AWAY ANY THING IMPORTANT):
First, Keanu Reeves. WTF?!!! What he is doing can hardly be called acting! Come on, show some expression! Coppola should have hired Johnny Depp or Heath Ledger(RIP). Whouldn't what been awesome? Heath Ledger instead of Reeves. Second, the Brides Of Dracula(by the way, if Dracula loves Elisabetha/Mina so much why would he have THREE other wives?! If those were his children i could get it but his BRIDES?). What is the deal with the rape of Keanu Reeves? It seemed blood wasn't the only thing they sucked... :P It just seemed so weird. I saw a musical version of Dracula with a similar scene, but they did it much better.
But what is the good things about this movie? Everything else! Anothny Hopkins, Winona Ryder, Tom Waits and the others a great! But above all others are GARY OLDMAN. This is the role he was born to play. Why he didn't get an Oscar is a mystery to me. I am starting to think the academy is not as great as it seems. Oldman succeeds in making the count both sinister and sympathetic. It's sympathy for the devil.
The love story of the movie is so much better and more complex than the one from recent vampire stories such as Twilight. The music goes perfect with the beautiful images. If you are thinking of watching a vampire movie for the first time out want to show one to your kids for the first time, make it this one.
