Movie Review by B Movie Ben
August 7th, 2008

The ultimate Dracula!

Favorite Movie Quote: "Listen to them: the children of the night. What sweet music they make."

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.

ha! nice review. I love how you used posh victorian lingo! I love the chemistry between Van Helsing and Mina. The fact that in this version Renfield is expanded on and who was the genius in casting... Tom Waits? Although, I wish Cary Elwes had a bigger part, I dig him. Oldman is so goth!

The only one that was really a nothing to the cast was Reeves. It's movies like this that make me think there should be a Casting Oscar.
