Advantages: Romantic, sexy, wonderful. Disadvantages: None I can think of.
I love this film. I went to see it on my birthday when it first came out. By the end I was broken-hearted, and sobbing determined to read the book and buy the film as soon as it came out. Gary Oldman is brilliant, such passion and longing, what an actor. Anthony Hopkins is, as usual, excellent. There is a scene when he smells Winona Ryder and knows that she has seen Dracula, very good. Loads of atmosphere throughout the film and great special effects. ... ...vile as the bat hanging in the bedroom. The scenes in the mad house are quite disturbing when you think this is how people use to be kept. Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are very good and do the accent quite well. Reeves plays the English gentleman convincingly with the hidden emotions bursting through. So, I have this on Video, DVD, and I have the book. The quality on the DVD is better than the video, of course, but I have read the book several times ...

Advantages: Great visually, Gary Oldman brilliant as usual. Disadvantages: Keanu Reeves, so good looking, but that accent just doesn't cut the mustard.
From the beginning of Bram Stoker's Dracula, what struck me was the use of colour. There are rich reds and deep greens that remind me of the early technicolour films. The film itself plotwise is gripping, and portrays Dracula himself in a sympathetic way that will leave the viewer glossing over the horror of vampirism and reading this film as a love story. I have seen this film several times, but each time there is a frshness about many of the actors ... ...be desired. Why don't they cast British actors in roles like that (Jonathan Harker, an Englishman trapped in Dracula's castle). There are plenty of great British actors that could have played this role admirably. Apart from this gripe, a great film to watch with icecream and the curtains closed. ...

Advantages: Couldn't find any Disadvantages: it's PANTS!!
Quite frankly i found this film to be an artsy fartsy load of tripe. Horror!!? Surely you jest! The scariest thing about this, is the awful plot and the hammy acting. 'An interview with a vampire' surpassed this load of codswallop on all levels!! Now that is worth watching! The earlier Dracula films with 'Christopher Lee' were better than this. He scared the pants off me when i was young, but i would have fallen asleep to this, without the light ...

Advantages: brilliant film Disadvantages: if you've read the book u might think diffrently of the film
wow! I love this film, I've watched it about a million times, I've also got the sound track to it as well which is beautiful.
Many people have argued with me whether the film meets the same standard as the book, and I'm in to minds because the book is very well written and very detailed, and to get the book in its whole in to a film would take a lot of money, time and also the film would be very long. So the director has taken the major points in ... ...exceptible to the ordence.I'm very happy with the out come. The film in it's self is not a horror as most people think but a very well written love story. Which is very moving and emoitional. The characters are brilliant and the performances is amazing, 10/10!
