Very disappointing.

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2002)

I expected a lot from a "Dracula" directed by Coppola, but I didn't get it. The biggest problem is that it lacks a strong cohesive and intersting narrative. Also, it is is diminshed by the usual one dimensional acting of Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. The movie started out very intringuingly, and Gary Oldman as the vampire is fairly good, but the whole thing became increasingly unraveled with the passage of time. It wasn't at all scary, and although there were some great visual effects, a lot of it seemed cheep and cheesy.
All in all, this Dracula was a bit of a bore.
