Having seen Dracula 2000 and hating it, I was pleasantly surprised by Dracula II. I've read the other comments so I have a few of my own. Being a sequel, the beginning was a little choppy. Dracula 2000 should have been about Jason Scott Lee's character and history leading up to part 2. I liked the storyline of the students finding Dracula in a morgue and deciding to find the secret of undead life. Yes, they should have checked the blond's body for bite marks but they thought she died from the fall. Not to mention that she didn't rise up as fast as the girl with the cat did. I did like the twist with the teacher. I loved the guy playing Dracula. For everyone who hated that Drac was a blond - Dracula would be cutting edge and bleach his hair to blend in. Liked the guy who played him. Especially when he finally broke free.
Lee's character was cool but again - where is his story? Part III? I've been a fan of his for a while and it's nice to see him in this kind of role.
I've also liked Jason London. I hope his character can save Elizabeth and end up happily ever after in Part III. Of course he ran at the end. She had just changed over and I'm sure she was hungry. I would run too. Live to fight another day. I also liked the actress who played Elizabeth. She fit her role.
I watch vampire movies for the atmosphere and different angles on the story of Dracula and vampires not so much for the fear factor. I do agree that the pool setting was a little clinical. The mansion house had much more attitude. And can I just say a big thank you for none of the actors trying to put on a New Orleans accent. Being a native of New Orleans it's insulting to hear it (see The Big Easy for an example). I can't wait to see it wrapped up. Maybe we'll get to see the priest's story. If you liked this movie, I would also recommend the Subspecies trilogy.
