Desde mi punto de vista, una película sublime y, sin duda, una de mis favoritas. Ya he perdido la cuenta de las veces que la he visto, pero a pesar de que prácticamente me sepa los diálogos, la encuentro igual de fresca y entretenida que el primer día. Siempre se me ha hecho corta. Evidentemente Coppola se tomó muchas licencias respecto al libro, pero eso no influye en que sea una gran película sobre vampirismo. Además, Gary Oldman y Anthony Hopkins están fantásticos. La interpretación de Oldman demuestra por qué es un verdadero actor de actores. Es gracias a sus méritos que el personaje de Drácula adquiere la dualidad que le falta en la novela: a su vez es ser atormentado y una bestia maligna.

Una película muy recomendable, muy bella estéticamente. El vestuario es una pasada.

Eso sí, mejor dejar de lado los prejuicios, porque difiere en muchos aspectos de la novela. (show less)

Dracula strays too far from the original source material for me to like it. It's much to colorful and flamboyant for me to enjoy. I prefer the dark and sinister atmosphere of Nosferatu. Keanu's acting didn't help me swallow it down either. (show less)

  I remember reading Dracula at school for our exams. It was an enjoyable book and I then decided to watch the latest installment from the film industry for it- mostly because I happen to think Gary Oldman is an excellent actor -and I was absolutely blown away by it.
  Whilst it doesn't stick to the book perfectly, it doesn't stray an awful lot and that makes it feel like very familiar territory, seeing as I already owned and read Bram Stoker's original.

  Gary Oldman IS Dracula- he plays the part so exceptionally well and is both frightening and endearing everytime he appears on screen.
  Anthony Hopkins plays Van Helsing in the most crazy, brilliant way and is definitely the strongest member of the supporting cast- Keanu Reeves being too wooden to be believable once again.
  The scenes in which you see the Count transformed- either into a wolf-like or bat-like creature -are seriously scary because the make-up effects are horrificly lifelike and that makes Bram Stoker's Dracula both beautiful and horrific, which to me is a perfect recipe for an awesome film.

  I confess that having seen many Dracula movies, I only tuned into this to see Monica Belucci. I was not denied a beautiful treat in observing her bounteous charms, if only briefly. How could Keanu Reeves complain of being held captive by such beauty. But, I was in for an even greater treat to come.

  Gary Oldman is the ultimate Dracula. His performance was so fantastic that it will make you forget all others. Sir Anthony Hopkins was equally brilliant as Van Helsing.

  Of course, their great performances were barely noticeable when Sadie Frost was baring her milky white crumpets. She was fantastic! But, we mustn't dismiss the excellent performance of Wynona Ryder. She may have only given us a brief covered view of her bouncing beauties as she chased after her friend, but her acting was superb in all respects. To the best of my knowledge the Ryder cups have never been shown. She was integral to the overriding sensuality of this great love story.

  The music, the makeup, the costumes, the sets; all were beyond outstanding in this film that was a real treat to all senses. (show less)
