Not to rain on anyone's parade, but this is yet another example of the book being much better than the movie.
Francis Ford Coppola's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula is loosely based on the story.
OK, now I admit to hating when reviewers go on and on saying that they aren't parallel. That's fine, though, because if Stoker wanted it to be a movie, he would have written a screenplay.
That being said, it was a mediocre viewing experience. I can see why it won Academy Awards for make-up, etc. and the cast (Reeves, Hopkins, Ryder) was certainly big time, but it felt a bit forced.
Again, who knows how much was because I really enjoyed the book?
