Excellent origin of the age-old tale of Dracula that answers all the questions about his power, start-up and how he must live up to his bargain dare I say it forever? The pre-Dracula guy has to make one hell (pun) of a decision that begs us to ask "what would you have done"? This is found in the finer movies of interest i.e. To wonder about decisions, outcomes and consequences from choices. Nice special believable effects and the actors committed to their roles. I would have liked this to have been a 2.5 hour movie and wonder why they didn't launch a trio of movies based on this entry afterwards? Also on display with realism is Dracula's weaknesses which make sense and again answer all our questions for this subject. In fact, this movie poses new questions. Its hard to figure out Hollywood sometimes especially when they get their way. Take Star Wars for example. In Lucas's hands, its a hit must see wow experience and one can see why and how Disney paid four billion for the rights. In Disney's hands, it faltered, paused, lost luster, intimacy and expectation for what comes next. They used the Jedi mind-trick on us methinks! I am reminded of Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings and how when left alone he spit-out three prime must-see movies that brought in billions and live forever. He insisted on NO studio interference. If only the people involved here were given their chance to continue? I usually recommend a snack and tasty drink when watching favorite flicks. However, in this movie some of the characters snack and drink on their preference if you get my meaning which may affect yours. Enjoy.
