Strange, a little silly at times. Interesting lighting effects. Absolutely gorgeous costumes. Made me want to actually read Dracula.

While I can appreciate that a lot of viewers really enjoyed this movie, it definitely wasn't for me. The pacing felt wonky, the special effects didn't age well, and the sex scenes distracted and detracted from the overall story. But what…

Oldman's Dracula is absolutely the star of the show and he puts on a menacing, memorable performance that stands well above everything else. The cinematography jumps between eery, shadowed perfection and head-scratchingly awkward- the…

This movies reminded me how much I admire Gary Oldman . The special effects are pretty cool too as expected .

Maybe its Coppola's touch to this film. Or maybe its Gary Oldham. This Dracula movie adds another layer of malevolence to the standard Vampire tale and more than embellishes the added scares and thrills. In Coppola's capable re-telling…

Still a wonderful ode to classic film style of the Horror genre. Keanu's acting is noticeable, but Gary Oldman's performance is great. This version has always made me feel more frightened than previous versions of the classic story.

A movie that feels like it was made entirely so the creators could play with old special effects and do some truly remarkable things with them. Is it the greatest movie ever? No, but it wasn't trying to be.

This movie does not hold up. It's beautiful to look at and the cast is great (not counting Keanu Reeves). Surprisingly, it follows the book fairly closely...although it gives more backstory and a ridiculous romance to the count and Mina. …

I think of this movie as a timeless love story not so much a horror movie. It's also a reminder that redemption is possible. I think Gary Oldman is an underrated actor. I really enjoyed his performance in this movie. My favorite Dracula.

an overly restrained performance by ms. horowitz. too bad ms. frost never worked again. the commentary is ho-hum. makes you wonder what goes on during the hot napa nights.

Great performance of Gary Oldman. The title language of the Special Features DVD is in Japanese.

Love this movie, that's why I'm getting it again. Gary Oldman is superb, special effects great, additional story line is so good. You should still get the original "nosferatu" and Bela Logosi's Dracula

Bloody, Baroque, Spectacular Hark, all ye cinephiles. The master beckons! And few among your numbers shall resist him. For he brings to bear all the wondrous powers at his disposal. Observe: shadow puppets dancing on the horizon…

I will defend this movie with my life if it came to it. Gary Oldman is absolutely incredible as Dracula and gives one of my favorite performances in modern film. Winona Ryder is the perfect vision of Gothic beauty and elegance. Also, Tom…

This was a terrible adaptation of the novel, though I admit I have a bias because I very much adore the original work. While I didn't hate the cast, I despise the inclusion of the reincarnation aspect of Dracula's dead wife. I had to turn…

I think this movie is the perfect example of the power of names to impress. I can't believe this thing was critically acclaimed. The spooky atmosphere is about all I can find that's good about it. But the story--oh my God. People come to…

This film is beautiful. The score is amazing.... Gary Oldman does not disappoint. That being said, this is one of the worst waste of film i've ever seen. Ryder and Reeves are ridiculous and should stick to surfer movies. Blech.…

This Dracula adaptation proved to be very classical in nature, bringing with it great actors and a believable story line!

A full blooded adaptation of the Stoker story benefits from Oldman in the lead, with Anthony Hopkins, Winona Ryder, Cary Elwes, Richard Grant, and Bill Campbell all doing good turns in various roles. The one glaring problem with the film:…

It was too tempting for me to see this movie available on "Super Bit" for $5.00 and not buy it. I will admit i was not that happy while watching this movie on my HOMETHEATER. But the visual effects were great and Mr.Oldman was impressive…
