I purchased the movie because mine was missing and this is one of my absolutely must have favorites. It would be wonderful to find love such as this. It is one of the greatest love stories ever (besides West Side Story) and how true love never, ever dies. It has a great cast of actors, including Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman, Keenu Reeves, Winona Ryder, featuring Cary Elwes and I feel they all played their parts beautifully. I love the superimposition of one scene, leading into the next one. The settings appear to be pretty authentic for that time period with extravagant costuming I wish there had been more of really. The one scene with Keenu being seduced by the vampirists is pretty erotic, too. I'd recommend it to everyone, especially those who are into love stories.Read full review
I fell in love with this movie the very first time I saw it,it is a classic love story. The main theme is how Dracula came about, the movie sorts through myth and fact,and tells of a beautiful love story.How this man turned to beast because the love of his life is killed while he is off fighting for his faith (church).He comes back to find his love (wife),has killed herself upon hearing news of her husbands death. The church refuses to give her absolution to enter into Heaven, since she took her life They tell him she is damned.He becames so enraged he renounces his faith and becomes a monster the church fears.He swears to avenge his loves death, "with all the powers of darkness".He loves this woman so much that his love survives his transformation into a vampire and through centuries of time, to find her and make her his again. The Count and Mina,(Dracula's beloved) has a brief peaceful interlude before fate steps in again.But this love story has yet another cruel twist of fate. The people surrounding his love is set on killing him.They use her as bait to get to him.At his home in Transylvania, the hunters find him and fatally wound him and his beloved has to finish him off,but in doing so she releases them both from the powers of darkness.Read full review
This is THE screen version of Dracula that everyone should see because it is the one closest to the original written version. Stunning performances are given, especially by Oscar winner Gary Oldham and a quirky if not strange portrayal of VanHelsing by Anthony Hopkins. Though Kennue Reeves drops his accent occansionally, he also plays an interesting part. There are some graffic sexual scences and of course some bloddy ones, so please use some discreation when others are viewing! I hope that you buy it and like it as much as I have. I have seen it several times, but now I can see it whenever I want to and enjoy it all the more!
First of all Johnny Depp isn't in this one that's Keanu Reeves..now for the review..this stellar cast of thousands includes Anthony Hopkins, Richard E Grant (Redferne the witch hunter on Warlock) Gary Oldman (Serious(sp?)Black Harry Potter)and yes I even enjoyed Winona Ryder even though she in my opinion is a useless Actress..she was pretty good here..I also loved her in "Mermaids", but that's the extent of it! I believe this film captures the essence of Dracula as told by Bram Stoker in the original novel..one tends to feel bad for the soulless Count by the end of the movie..A really great movie, but not for the wee ones..turn down the lights and enjoy!
I really enjoyed the setting of the movie, it reminded me of the good old time classics. Gary Oldman does the most outstanding portrayal of the character Dracula. The only 'hokey' part is when he plays the beast, but even then he does an amazing job in regards to the feelings of the character he has to portray. Gary Oldman shows genuine depth and love for Mina and I never get tired of seeing him dressed as the prince or how he woos his lost-love-found-again in Mina. In a time where computer graphics have become such a part of film-making, it's nice to see good old fashioned acting and settings. I had seen this movie a couple of times, and wanted to own a copy of it but could never find it in the small town I live in so, where else to buy it other than ebay?
