1.0 out of 5 stars This Dracula has no bite!, 24 Feb 2007
By D. Woods (DURHAM, DURHAM United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been a fan of the Dracula novel and most of the various film adaptations as well, so when I heard of this brand new version I couldn't wait to see it. Unfortunately, I shouldn't have wasted my time. This is the most stale, dramatically empty version of the story I've ever seen. Most of the versions prior to this, although never a straight presentation of the novel, did put parts of it on screen. This one, in a move to be 'daring' and 'sexy' chose to put in a plot line about a sexually transmitted disease and for the action to be filmed at jaunty angles. Everyone is woefully miscast, especially Marc Warren as the Count. There is no mystery about him, no air of menace, just blandness. Not only that, but where are his brides? His transformations into a wolf or a bat? Where's the race against time finale? There's just no driving force in this adaptation at all. One of the most crucial characters, Van Helsing, doesn't appear until the last 25 minutes. And one of the most crucial scenes - Lucy's transformation and destruction happens in the last 10 minutes. Catch any of the Hammer movies, they're infinately better. Or check out the 1970's version with Frank Langella - a superb movie and possibly the best version to date. Anything to avoid this!

2.0 out of 5 stars Bram Stoker will be spinning in his grave!, 19 Jan 2007
By Astolath (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This 'adaptation' is so far from the original novel as to be almost unrecognisable. Many would argue that we don't need yet another spin on the classic vampire yarn and this does much to reinforce that opinion. The performances are very average, the usually dependable Marc Warren being especially disappointing (though he was probably not helped by the amateurish dialogue and clumsy direction). There are brief moments of inspiration and some occasionally nice cinematography, but not enough to elevate the whole affair above the average.

One day someone will have the talent to recreate the suspense of the original novel. Until then, avoid this like the plague (of undead!).

1.0 out of 5 stars An insult to the orginal story, 6 Jan 2007
By Bezerus Bezby "Bez" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I was really looking forward to this tv adaptation. I have been a fan of this novel since I was a small child, but it was a big disappointment. I cannot understand why they changed the story in such a way, ie, Lord Holmwood has a nasty STD and asks Dracula over for a cup of tea to sort him out. Dracula turns nasty (duhh!)

The acting was bad, the script was poor and I will never understand why film/tv makers feel the need to always change this story. If it aint broke, don't fix it!
