Rating: Summary: DEFFINATELY BUY IT!!! Review: I shouldnt be the only poor schmuk who had to sit through it! It was excellent until the last 1/2 hour. I despise it when a movie sets a great premise and then ends horribly.I really thought this one would go the distance but the end was so campy in comparison to the rest of the movie!
Rating: Summary: Just One Kiss...It Couldn't Hurt... Review: I gotta say, for a Wes Craven flick, this was pretty good, espically since it was a remake of a movie that has been...well...remade a lot over a few decades.The storyline was decent, and I actual thought it was neat the way it described exactly why Dracula can't stand crosses, silver, and religion all together: it hads a nice twist. Not to mention: it was set in New Orleans, and I gotta admit, since I've lived there before, that is definatly one of the spookiest places at night, espically the graveyards. Oh for those of you who care:As usual, Dracula is hot and just SO SEXY... So why not give this movie a 5-star rating? Well for those of you have had ever seen Bram Stoker's Dracula, you will agree: this one isn't NEARLY as boring. However: it is still lacking here and there. For example: Dracula barely speaks, and when he does, the man talksso low and in so many riddles, I had to rewind him just to understand what he meant...or at least hear what he said... (Which is a downer since I love the actor's voice that plays him...All smooth and seductive...) The damdel in distress aka Van Helsing's daughter is just...off. Although she's not the simpering moron who wears those long flowy dresses and high heeled shoed, screaming for some macho type fool to come to the rescue (and this, ladies and gentalmen is BEFORE she's seduced...) they still could have made her a little better. The fight scenes (as there weren't that many, seeing as mostly people were just eaten or 'dead when we get there') are lacking. Drac seems to be more of a lover, not a fighter in this one... And this also happens to be the ONLY Dracula Movie I've ever seen where Van Helsing actually get's killed. That was a major backlash for us vamp. slayer fans. (It's like having Buffy die...and she NOT coming back...) But other then those MINOR setbacks, the movie is definatly worth the time to watch, majorly if your a fan of Wes Craven's work and definatly if you're a fan of Dracula, or any other type of vampire movies. Hope I helped, even a little!
Rating: Summary: One sexy vampire. Review: Another of my guilty pleasures. Gerard Butler ... yummy! Need I say more? Actually, this movie is pretty silly and wouldn't be worth watching at all but for one fact: Gerard Butler makes one hell of a sexy Dracula. I'd let him bite me any day. Move over, Angel - the REAL dark prince is Lady Croft's new squeeze.
Rating: Summary: This movie has BITE!!! Review: This is a great version to the series of Dracula films! It has great action scenes, gore, and some thrills and chills. It is a must see for Dracula fans!
Rating: Summary: Loved It! Review: I loved this movie! It had action, gore, and some thrills and chills. It is a must see for vampire fans. It kept me interested the whole way through! Rent it or buy it today!
Rating: Summary: Not the worst vampire movie ever made Review: This film was unfortunately titled in that it came out almost in 2001. That was only the first of its flaws. It never ceases to amaze me how many variations there are on the Dracula and in general Vampire mythology. While this isn't the finest telling of that myth, it is an okay way to kill some time. I own this film, however, that may be due to my obsession with vampires (which allows me to sit through movies that most people couldn't stand). In the end, if you're looking for a mind boggling, complex and sophisticated vampire film, this one isn't for you. If you're looking for just some cheap laughs (at the films expense) and a gory vampire flick, this may be just what you need.
Rating: Summary: WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY DID Review: Am i the only one that hated this movie with a passion. I mean i can't believe i wasted my time with this. I rented it thank God and was really hoping to see another Bram Stocker's Dracula like the one with Gary Oldman. But this movie had to be the worst Dracula movie i have ever seen. I can't believe they are making a number 2. This is crazy ,what happened to sequels for good movies. Come on stop wasting money on stuff like this.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS TERRIBLE Review: GOD. SERIOUSLY, HOW CAN PEOPLE WATCH THIS MOVIE. IT WAS EXTREMELY BORING. DRACULA WAS TOTALLY WASHED UP INTO A TOTALLY LAME VERSION AND THE REST OF THE CAST WAS JUST HORRIBLE. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ONE. IT REALLY IS HORRIBLE. I GAVE IT 2 STARS GENEROUSLY
Rating: Summary: What's with these guys? Review: Anyone who can take a couple of hot babes like Jeri Ryan & Jennifer Esposito, and then... and then... DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF INTEREST WITH THEM oughta be banned from making movies. Oh for the days when directors knew how to exploit -- I mean, explore -- female pulchritude! Aside from that, the rest of this film is by-the-numbers, including the revelation of Dracula's origin, which feels thrown in for cheap shock value, instead of any deeply felt horror. Stick to Terence Fisher, Jean Rollin, or Paul Naschy.
Rating: Summary: Good Dracula Future Review: Although I liked this movie, there are some firm Bram Stoker fans that might not like it. The movie takes place in current time but takes several liberties with the Bram Stoker book. I personally like the different twists this movie takes, I get bored with the constant remakes of Bram Stokers "Dracula" This movie has good atmosphere and a pretty good group of actors. Ther are definately some beautiful women in this movie, which is always a plus in my book. Without giving the movie away, there are some religous overtones to the movie that were never mentioned in the Bram Stoker novel. As a Dracula fan I liked this movie, mainly because it had some new ideas for us freaks to consider.
