This is a “could-have-been.” A “would-have-been.” A “should-have-been.” These terms are far from compliments. Yes, the story was a unique, emotional retelling of Bram Stoker’s classic horror story, but it was so disjointed, that you wouldn’t have noticed a difference if someone had flipped the scenes or played the movie backwards.
The acting in this film was just above atrocious. Keanu Reeves was both cast wrong and used wrong. Anthony Hopkins, one of the greatest actors of all time, was unintelligible throughout. So was Gary Oldman, who’s accent was so thick, that it sounded as if he was talking with a mouthful of saliva.
A film that had potential, but was dragged down by the laughable editing. The sequence of events was…there was no sequence of events! It was all jumbled.
A sexually suggestive film that includes sex with various supernatural entities. Obviously, blood is consumed.
Everything in this film is completely fantasy.
Regarding moviedude’s Review
Good call, Dude. I remember seeing this back in the day because it was a Francis Ford Coppola movie. And then being hugely disappointed. Your review brings back why.
