Summary: Simply a must have for anyone with DVD and DD 5.1 sound!
Review: The movie is entertaining and visually beautiful. Coppola uses pretty much every trick in the book of old school film making, but what truly makes this DVD worth buying is the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. This film won an Oscar for Sound Effect Editing and it shows! There is tons of surround activity thoughout the film and I haven't yet seen a non-action flick use sound so effectivly. All DVDs should have a DD track as good as this one!

Summary: Yuck
Review: I found this adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula downright painful to watch. Suffering through Keanu Reeves pitiful attempt at an English accent as the lead character/narrator was horrible. This film is a gaudy, flamboyant attempt at creating an artful masterpiece and falls far short of its mark. This movie is an example of a studio spending a ton of money on special effects and using all the hottest actors, but forgetting to tell a good story. They try to portray Dracula as a sympathetic lover but the result is a pathetic blunder. I'd rather spend the night in Castle Dracula than watch this dog again.

Summary: This movie is a dead ringer for those who like vampires.
Review: Dracula doesn't seem like it would be all too impressive, but for those who have digital 5.1 it's amazing. Even in this tiny little room it sounds, feels, and appears as though you were in a movie theatre. Also, the ability to switch between widescreen and standard is a huge plus. Most movies now-a-days make you buy both formats! Altogether it was an excellent movie you can watch over and over again.

Summary: extrodanary
Review: This is the most romantic vampire movie ever made. I belive Gary Oldman to be one of the best modern actors of today. Instead of Dracula being an evil incarnate, he is a wretched soul insearch of his lost love. At the end when he is set free you are left with the feeling of a happy ending. You know he goes to heaven, & you know someday Mina will join him. I am happy to say this is my favrite movie of all time.

Summary: The Best Horror Movie Ever!!
Review: This excellent movie is a combination of aesthetics, horror, erotic, violence and art. Coppola did an excellent job on creating the horrofying atmosphere. My personal opinions regarding to the actors:Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins: unreplacable for their brilliant, perfect performance. Anthony Hopkins reminds me the movie "The Exocist". Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder: Good enough for young actors(I like Keanu with white hair in the movie). Sadie Frost: I only saw her on this movie and know nothing about her. She is un-neglectable.

Summary: A very original, but tragically unsuccessful film
Review: There is no denying that Bram Stoker's Dracula is a very ambitious, big-scale movie with an overwhelming amount of innovation. Unfortunately, it seems like almost nothing works very well. After the impact of the sheer amazement by the fantastic scenes passes, what we are left with is a somewhat choppy, incoherent story that starts to look ridiculously over-the-top very soon. Many of the scenes are desperately repulsive, and there is hardly a good enough purpose to justify it. The film is clearly created with an atmosphere that attempts to romanticize all the disgusting and horrifying things we see - but this does not work and looks out-of-place. Perhaps some moderation would have helped the movie. As it is, the film does not take itself seriously and all the "romanticism" seems to be horribly wasted.

Summary: I realy enjoyed the movie it had some great actors.
Review: It was based on Bram Stoker's classic book Dracula, about romance and horror. About the evil vampire Dracula. A classic story remade.

Summary: A mystical journey into darkness. Dracula gets a human side!
Review: Bram Stoker's Dracula is such a moving story of lost love and how one man will do anything to avenge his true love's death no matter what the price is.

Summary: The Other Side of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Review: Before the TV show made us care about the star-crossed affair of a teen-ager with the onus of saving the world from vampires, and her undead vampire lover, there was Bram Stoker's Dracula, the star-crossed affair of a young woman and her undead lover with the onus of killing people to stay alive. As a film, this had some things working against it for me. I've never been a big fan of Oldman, Reeves, or Ryder; nor have I liked any of the previous film versions which ranged from silly to pretentious. And, that familiar, most-crippling blow for almost any film adaptation lies in this: I've read, and happen to like, the book. Coppola pulls it off, by adding some beautiful scenery and photography and remaining more true to the book than anyone ever has. Oldman's performance isn't your standard Dracula (though it's standard Oldman, I'm afraid), which is a refreshing change, and I actually *like* Winona Ryder in this - the woman seems born to play characters in period garb, if nothing else. Keanu Reeves remains low in my estimation, the only film I can tolerate him in still being "Speed." But heck, odds are you've all seen the movie and have your opinions formed - how's the DVD, right? The phrase "damn near featureless" comes immediately to mind. No trailers, cast bios, director's commentary, extra footage, or other knickknacks we spoiled videophiles have come to expect. Just a two-sided disc, one P&S and one Widescreen, with language tracks in English, Spanish and French with subtitles in Korean and Spanish. A choice of 2-channel or 5.1 Dolby Digital is included. Pretty sparse pickings for an Academy Award winner, but the 130-minute length of the film may have lowered the options you could cram on. The only disk I've found more disappointing from a features persective in my collection is "Matilda," which is a straight P&S transfer to DVD, with diddly-squat for extras. On the positive side, the "BS'D" is beautifully transferred and sound qual! ity is good, though my set-up doesn't permit judging the quality of various audio effects. As a piece of DVD mastering, it's a competent if unexciting piece of work. Like "Matilda," I'd recommend this disc only to two types of people: those who love the film so much they're in danger of wearing out their VHS copy (me, in the case of "Matilda") or those who haven't purchased a VHS version of the film but plan to add it to their collection for whatever reason (me, in the case of this film). The disc isn't worth tossing aside your taped version of the movie otherwise, and it'd be wiser to buy something you don't have instead of doubling this film in your library just because it's on DVD.
