Bram Stoker's Dracula, a review by addicted2dvd

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder and Anthony Hopkins star in director Francis Ford Coppola's visually stunning, passionately seductive version of the classic Dracula legend.

In 'BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA', Coppola returns to the original source of the Dracula myth, and from that gothic romance, he creates a modern masterpiece. Gary Oldman's metamorphosis as Dracula - who grows from old to young, from man to beast - is nothing short of amazing. Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula's devastating desire. Anthony Hopkins co-stars as the famed doctor who dares to believe in Dracula, and then dares to confront him. Opulent, dazzling and utterly irresistible, this is Dracula as you've never seen him. And once you've seen 'BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA', you'll never forget it.

My Thoughts:
This is a very good telling of the Dracula story. I enjoyed watching it... though it is a little slow at times. But I guess that goes with having a good story within a horror movie. I thought that all the people involved did a good job. I don't know why I don't watch this movie more often then I do. I think it is no more then the pure length that puts me off... being over 2 hours it is hard to get in the mood for such a long movie at times.

I always enjoyed the Shelock Holmes films that I have seen in the past. Happy to say I ejoyed this one too. I saw it on Vudu and hope to add it to my physical collection before to long. I thought the cast did a fine job and it was fun to see Holmes and Watson in their younger days. Recommended.
