Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The greatest movie ever made..!

An absolute waste of money

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Dracula was disappointing. The filmmakers spend so much time focusing on visual effects (which were impressive), that other areas of the movie suffer. Most of the performances are either flat (*cough*Keanu*cough*) or over the top, and the film itself seems disjointed. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer Tod Browning's Dracula or F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu to Coppola's attempt at Bram Stoker's novel.

As my hero, Dracula was portrayed fairly in this movie.

First of all, sorry for my English: I'm Italian and I don't know if I am able to express not in my language my thoughts with the proper terms. Anyway, I loved this movie, even if I agree that the title should have been F.F.Coppola's Dracula. In fact it is a very personal read of the original script. So, I can understand, but not agree, with all critics about important differences to Bram Stoker's masterpiece. It's a movie you can love or hate, there is no midway, as all comments prove. Personally, I loved the way Coppola reviewed the classic tale, giving Dracula a reason to be what he became after the loss of his wife e to search in England the reincarnation of his lost love. Gary Oldman is absolutely fantastic, lavish, romantic,chilling, in particular as he plays an old Dracula in the beginning of the movie. Definitely the best character of his career until now (let's see how he portrays Churchill in the Darkest Hour). Winona Ryder is so sweet and adorable that I forgive the fact she hasn't been the best choice to play Mina. The other actors (except for Keanu Reeves, completely outcast and unable to act) are all good choices. The music is wonderful, as cinematography, art/set direction, make up and costumes (who cares if Dracula wears John Lennon style sunglasses...). This Dracula is seductive as no other movies ever showed and as no other actor was able to portrait the dark prince. By the way, the choice of Keanu Reeves and some screenplay bad errors and holes don't allow to give a 10. But at the same time I can understand it's not a movie for all tastes. As I already written, you can love or hate it.

On the run-up to Halloween 2017, I once again watched this movie which was being shown on TV. Apart from the aforementioned superb Mr. Oldman, who manages to imbue his portrayal of Dracula with pathos as well as menace, the rest of the cast are clearly hell-bent (no pun intended) on over-acting each other off the screen. By far the worst, hammy and intensely irritating performance comes from Sadie Frost with a badly miscast Keanu Reeves coming in a very close second. I am afraid that Winona Ryder does not fare much better, and quite why Sir Anthony Hopkins involved himself in this movie miasma is beyond me.The special effects which, at the time were state of the art, now seem a bit rickety.What should have been a classic for all the right reasons has become a classic for all the wrong ones. What a missed opportunity.
