Bram Stoker's Dracula

Mina | 4:20 p.m. June 26, 1999

It is a charming,poetic movie with dark atmosphere.
The characters are mysterious and bloodlust.
A very brutal movie indeed.

This movie is really a tragic love story. The accent &
tones of Drac is the best ive ever heard, eerie, romantic,
tragic, torn. I really felt for Dracul, he was once a good
man, but turned when he lost faith in God (yeah i know it's
just a movie). The sets are amongst the best i have ever
seen in a movie, most of them are lush with colour &
detail, almost like a painting. Gary Oldman was fantastic,
while i found Keannu Reeves character too boyish, too
naive. Winona Ryder is the beautiful & equally naive Mina,
& she is a pleasure to watch throughout. The music is
appropriately tragic & heart wrenching, not to mention
downright eerie at times. I really enjoyed this one, a must
see.

Bram Stoker's Dracula was a well written gothic
romance.There were some poignant scenes in the movie as
well as some scary ones. I'd say there was some good acting
except for Keanu Reeves.That was the worst English accent
I've ever heard!!!!Definitley one of the best romances I've
ever seen.

You know the story, how can it be scary? The adaptation
stresses visual aspects beautifully.
