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.
When Dracula leaves the captive Jonathan Harker and Transylvania for London in search of Mina Murray, the reincarnation of Dracula's long-dead wife Elisabeta, obsessed vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing sets out to end the madness.

Dracula: Love Never diesThis movie is as close to the book ever. A story written by a man who felt the urge to create horror. I personally like of how they were able to put it all together, because there was a lot of stuff added and cahnged from the book. You should also chech out Mary Sheley's Frankenstein, as both movies are directed by the same guy, Francis Ford Coppola. It's a great movie, with that said, I say to all blood is too precious of a thing to waist, and that The BLOOD IS THE LIFE, AND IT SHALL BE MINE!.Score: 5/5
Beautiful production, weak narrativeAlthough it betrays it’s spatial limitations and veers on inducing claustrophobia at times, Coppola’s ambition to create the film entirely on sets yields some beautiful production designs. He wanted to film black backgrounds and instead focus on ornate costume design and that explains the meticulous attention to wardrobe as well. Unfortunately the story is driven by an unconvincing doomed love story populated with mostly not very compelling characters. The biggest sin is that it isn’t remotely scary. Dracula is flamboyant here but not at all menacing. He’s a tragic romantic in this interpretation which ironically otherwise follows the events of the novel more closely than any other adaptation. But fundamentally changing the character motivation makes the finished product fairly pretentious, devoid of urgency and drenched in overwrought melodrama when it should be desperate and intense. Still the acting is committed and the memorable score goes a long way to create atmosphere. The Annie Lennox song is a good addition as well. There isn’t a two and a half star option so I’ll round it up to three..Score: 3/5
The Best Gothic Romance Horror Film Ever MadeCoppola, Oldman, Ryder, and Hopkins all turn in some of their best work. The costumes, make up, special effects, sets, lighting, atmosphere, and amazing score all make up a one of a kind cinematic experience. Gary Oldman is Dracula, following the book while adding elements of romance and Vlad. This is the BEST version of Dracula ever!!.Score: 5/5
AwfulThis movie is dreadfully awful. Does not follow the plot of the book in any way and the acting is terrible. The dialogue is almost non-existent as the actors just throw out lines with hardly any real conversation. The story is full of gratuitous nudity not included in the book and should not even have his name in the title. Everyone from the director on down seems to be just trying way too hard with this one when following the book would have been sufficient. Don´t waste your time or money..Score: 1/5

Romantic? More like, hot vampire sexy fun time.I think it’s funny that other reviewers are calling this a romantic movie. This is practically lesbian porn… and I adore it. Vampires, Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder (her ridiculous British accent is tough to get past but if you like Ryder, you can look past it… if you try hard enough.) and Antony Hopkins? This movie really brought out my bisexuality as a teenager. I assure you, I’m not joking. Gary Oldman in that blue suit and those glasses? Swoon.. Winona Ryder in most anything? Swoon. Vampire chicks having sex? Swoon. Lol. I love this movie..Score: 5/5
My favorite Drac filmI just love this movie, from the first time I saw it in theaters. In this Dracula is a sweeping edgy romantic tale full of adventure, fantasy, doom and redemption. It is visually lush and grotesque at the same time. I never tire of watching it. The 79 Drac is fluff compared to this retelling. This film is fabulous!.Score: 5/5
One of the greatest acting performances in film historyGary Oldman is just astounding as Dracula. He gives so much of himself to every role but here, he is really at his best. He worked very hard on the role and it shows: the accent, the little gestures, the body language, the glances, the passion, the tenderness, the love for his character - it's all there! It is one the most sympathetic portrayals of Dracula, yet simultaneously one of the most terrifying. Just on this fact alone, you should buy this movie. It will go down as one of the greatest acting performances ever. Now of course, there is Anthony Hopkins fresh from months of rehearsal, need I say more? There are major weaknesses to the movie such as Keanu Reeves, the special effects, and arguably Winona Ryder. But if you open yourself to the narrative, you'll be swept away by the romance and the intensity of this movie, which is quite literally bursting at the seems. I'm very picky with my movies but I frankly just love this movie in so many ways. Check it out!.Score: 5/5
Absolutely breath takingThese actors know how to embody their characters. Coppola's imagination takes this movie to a whole new level in the world of drama, chatastrophy, sex, and blood. While watching this film you feel not only empathy, but tears streaming down your face as you watch Dracula discover the tragedies of his loved ones. I highly recommend watching this, to anyone who loves vampires, werewovles, and just a thrill for Halloween. Some parts I would watch alone, but other than that, get some friends together, eat some popcorn, and get a one-way ticket to Transylvania and England! Also, one thing they forgot to mention was that this picture was awarded an Oscar for Best Costume Design. :D.Score: 5/5
Not Bad, but Not Bram StokerThis didn't follow Bram Stoker's novel very well. It turned Dracula, who is supposed to be pure unadulterated evil and made him a sympathetic character. However, as long as you don't compare it to the book, it's a decent vampire movie. The costumes and effects are a bit distracting at times and some of the acting is TERRIBLE, but I would reccomend watching this at least once..Score: 3/5
