August 31, 2009The effects at times were good, at other times too strange. They do move along quickly to pack a lot of the novel's story into the run time. Still, the movie feels too long toward the end. Wow, Oldman does go through so many amazing makeup transformations. I agree with most o...( read more)

June 25, 2009Francis For Coppola really is a visionary! All of his movies are beautiful. I find it funny tho that this is callled "Bram Stokers" Dracula b/c the whole Mina loves Dracula bit never even happed in Stokers novel. But you know what, I love it this way. It's how stoker should have ...( read more)

May 22, 2009This gets 3stars purely for the look alone, its goth, dark and sexy. The acting is dodgy to say the least, Oldman is good and is pretty much the best thing in the film but the cheese factor is high and we all know of Reeves accent. The film is very faithful to the story its just ...( read more)

January 3, 2009The best parts of this movie were the wonderful score and the stylistic/special effects elements. It wasn't particularly well-cast or well-acted except for possibly Gary Oldman as the eponymous Dracula. He's always been a good character actor though.

November 19, 2009I really didn't like this movie! I wanted to leave in the middle--way too much gore, and I hated the romanticising of Dracule. Turning him into an emo hero is just not good.

November 15, 2009I hate vampires movie, but I always love the original version of it!

November 14, 2009I love watching this movie, but it is far from perfect. I thought it was well made and fantastically directed, but there were times when I felt that it was just far to Hollywood. What I do love about the film, is that the story is presented as a true romance movie, unlike many of...( read more)

October 16, 2009this movie is an epic love story, the only dracula film i feel that has a heart, gary oldmans performance is epic, the music reflects so many things dracula is, the effects are not cgi, so they are fantastic for a 1993 film. if you love a haunting love story, this is for you!

July 7, 2008Ive seen this movie countless times. Good storyline and the brilliant actors (GARY OLDMAN is AWESOME!) makes up for the crappy Special effects but then considering in the time this movie was made its a great vampire movie.
i love vampires and the way gary oldman played Dracula, i personally feel there isnt a better man who can play it as sensually, emotionally, productively the way gary oldman did and winona ryder was equally as great! -

October 29, 2007You had Keanu, the lovely fiance/husband, with all the attributes to be the great hero... But Francis made that Dracula, nevermind if it appeared as a beast, as handsome Lord, as an old and ugly Count... you felt in love with his role. The emotion Francis could generate around him made his "soul in love" coverd any kind of phisic appearence. That was great. The role of Dracul was really amazing, you could finish loving that horrible final image forgetting the image you saw but concentrating on the "soul" of Dracul's role. Incredible as the amazing soundtrack; Wojciech Kilar, look for him and listen to him. He made and incredible soundtrack... think it couldn't be better music performance

October 26, 2007The best DARCula EVER!!!! I remember when this came out in theaters. I was 10- 9 years old. I wanted to see this film so bad. My dad took me to see it but they wouldn't let us in becuase they say there was alot of blood and sexual scenes on it. I was so upset, I cry all the way home. I will never forget the movies original song and the Video. I finally got to see the movie when i was 13 years old. I watched it for a whole week and i couldn't get tired of it. Now i am 25 years old. Great movie!!! i know people say keannu reeeves makes it dull. There is so much more to the movie besides him.

March 5, 2007El sólo escuchar la musica de Wojciech Kilar, ese compositor Polaco, que tiene tantos premios en Europa, me pone los vellos de punta. Gary Oldman, en el pináculo de su carrera hace una actuación majestuosa, olvídense del maquillaje que es increible, las facetas en que se ve a Oldman y esa actuación en la cama del manicomio es... una locura, totalmente sensual, aún con los besos atascados de sangre, Winona a pesar de su corta edad está a la par, entre niña y mujer fatal, infiel, totalmente corruptible en su corazon, cuerpo y destino. Oldman al igual que Hopkins interpretando a personajes de acento ajeno al suyo. Hopkins es un Val Hensing sarcastico, inteligentísimo y agudo... Keanu Reeves no pasa de hacer una actuación sosa y con un acento que ni siquiera logra semejarse al britanico que debiera, pero que de alguna manera te olvidas al final de esa atrocidad. La dirección de Coppola, la edición y las contratomas son una genialidad, saturados de efectos a veces, pero que la musica los apacigua gentilmente. Monica Belluci hace su aparición como una cachondísima ninfomaniaca que daria gusto encontrarse cualquier dia. El remate es una cancion inédita y exquisita de Annie Lennox, durante los créditos... Que rica película, sensual, seductora a morir. De mis favoritas.
