“the last episode was a letdown”

“The title says "Bram Stoker's Dracula" which is pretty much the first lie Coppola lobs at viewers of this thing. I'm pretty sure Bram Stoker had never considered a romantic love story between Dracula and his re-incarnated love, which is actually a plot point from the Boris Karloff Mummy movie, not Stoker's Dracula.”

“I have such conflicting emotions about this movie. As a fan of the novel it is both faithful (when it wants to be, and in the smallest, most inconsequential of things) and yet completely disregards the source material (in rather broad strokes) all at the same time. Which makes me not really enjoy it as an adaptation but adore it as an interpolation. It takes these interesting ideas and concepts and expands on them in such strange ways, but it is absolutely not the novel put to screen. To me”

“I used to love the 1992 Dracula I had seen it when I was younger and didn’t have the experience of reading the book to compare it to. I recently read (listened to the audiobook) Bram Stoker’s Dracula and when I finished I went and rewatched them movie for the first time in years. First off the movie itself was terrible this time around in my opinion and secondly it doesn’t hold true to the book in many places and adds to it in many where it wasn’t needed. The castings were some of the parts that”

“I absolutely hate the ham-fisted love story between Dracula and Mina, who in this film is the reincarnation of his long-dead wife. I hate every moment of it and I want to slap whoever it was who thought that it was a good idea to shove it into a film that didn’t need it whatsoever.”

“This Seductive, Thrilling, love story has some Bite! Based from the book and is a true masterpiece. Gary Oldman plays Dracula and simply makes this movie. His obsession with Winona Ryder characters is relentless and heart chilling. Don't worry Keanu Reeves doesn't ruin it, he actually did a great job. Anthony Hopkins plays the role of Dr. Van Helsing. We all know his story now thanks to Hugh Jackman. Some brief nudity and a HOT scene with Winona as she runs though the garden in her PJ's. Not onl”

“The script is an unevenly good adaptation of the novel. It resolves better Dracula's aims and motivations through the love story. Also, it provides a more understandable glue to join the 4 men chasing Dracula from a XXth century point of view and removes unimportant characters having a more "round" story. However, due to some changes certain parts are now incoherent since they were not properly adapted to the other changes. In addition, other parts are totally impossible to follow due to the”

“Although it certainly won't make you easily forget earlier interpretations of the seminal horrific character by Max Schreck, Bela Lugosi, Sir Christopher Lee or Klaus Kinski, Gary Oldman definitely finds a way under your skin. As well, the resoundingly sumptuous cinematography will sweep you off your feet--unless you're dead to begin with... =)”

“Gets worse on repeat viewings. Francis Ford Coppola's take on the Dracula legend sees Gary Oldman as the Count, who as a warrior prince returns from battle to find his true love, who after believing him to have been killed, has committed suicide. Renouncing his Christianity he pledges to return from the death to enact revenge on humanity. Century's later he is back to keep his word but becomes infatuated with Mina (Winona Ryder) who bears a resemblance to his long dead true love. Forget t”
