- Did tnielson@spock.NMSU.Edu really type:
- }
- } Just saw Dracula..............ohmygodohmygodohmygod. Was it good!
-
- It was ok.
-
- Warning! Spoilers ahead.
-
- Are you sure?
-
- } I can't see anything wrong with it except Keanu Reeves has the cheeseiest
- } English accent...well I can overlook that.
-
- Let me start my list of what was wrong:
-
- A) Keanu Reeves, drained of blood for weeks by the wenches, crawls
- along a ledge, falls into a river, and survives to make it to a
- convent.
-
- B) The gratuitous breast scenes were not erotic, nor sensual.
-
- C) When the crypt is opened to kill the redhead, we see a closed
- crystal coffin. In the next few scenes, the lid has opened itself and
- disappeared into thin air.
-
- D) The opening of the movie made a reference to the line of Dracula.
- The line is Dracul.
-
- E) There was no seduction of Winona's character. All of a sudden she
- was in love with Dracula.
-
- F) The train scenes (background actually) looked as bad as the sets
- to Star Trek V:The Final Frontier.
-
- } Oldman----superb
-
- Eh? His character showed little depth for being x-odd hundred years
- old.
-
- } Hopkins---the perfect Van Helsing.
-
- Puh-lease. Hopkins was as bad in _Dracula_ as he was in _Freejack_.
