love never tries

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2004)

Everybody, wake up!!!! Refer to Stokers novel. There has NEVER been a true adaptation of this work. Every time someone attempts it, they blow it. Hollywood- leave it alone - you guys don't cut it. Difficult - yes. Impossible -no. Someone, one of these days, will probably "get it right". this version is good but I'd rather read the novel, again. good points are: the music, the art direction, the costumes, Renfield,Seward. bad points are: Keanu Reeves, A.Hopkins, W.Ryder and worst of all Gary Oldman (too short)- what a ham!!!! In fact, I'd rather read the book AND listen to a CD of the soundtrack at the same time, than watch this pulp. 4.66 out of 10. (mainly for attempting it in the first place).
