Dracula 2000 (2000)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Better Late Then Never

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Wes Craven's Dracula 2000 is one of those horror flicks that proudly slaps his name over the title like he runs the show, when in fact he's only participating under a vague executive producer credit. Now that we've got that little detail out of the way we can talk about what a thoroughly awesome movie it is, and how the haters can go suck it. It's a high concept slice of bloody fun and has easily one of the best pairings of an actor with the Dracula mythos ever: Gerard Butler. He's young and lean here, before he turned into a tank later in his career, and he makes one hell of a kick ass Dracula. The story is too good to be true: a team of arch criminals, led by Omar Epps and also including Hyde from That 70's Show (lol) break into the European mansion of Dr. Abraham Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) and steal the heavy duty coffin which he has stashed in his basement and used to contain Vladdy for over a hundred years. Helsing has always used a compound derived from his blood to keep himself alive all that time and ensure that he never gets loose. The burglars have no idea what they're on for, and pretty soon Butler is loose and ready to get freaky, tearing apart their getaway plane and running off into the chaotic streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras. He's searching for a girl (Justine Waddell) to have sex with her and fulfill some horrific prophecy (nice little nod to End Of Days there). Dracula, Mardi Gras, Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer; four ingredients to pretty much ensure your movie is gonna rock. Plummer makes one of the best on screen Van Helsings in my books, rivaled only perhaps by Anthony Hopkins. Butler is a sleek, hip and sensual Dracula, playing the role to the bloody hilt and sedimenting a really cool rendition of the character, with a surprising twist ending that adds some depth to the guy. Watch for work from Jennifer Esposito, Sean Patrick Thomas, Shane West, Lochlyn Munro and Nathan Fillion as well. Great retelling, or rather addition to the legend, held up by Butler.

Being a writer myself I am very fond of Dracula Movies since from child hood I have seen many sleepy ,old ,slow moving Dracula who even couldn't seduce a pet But still after 15 years when I watched this movie ..It looks awesome ..This was the first time it redefined the term "Dracula" how he should look ..how he should walk & most brilliantly how he should seduce a women enhancing the lust in her .The outlook was amazing Both writers have summarized the every myth written about Dracula in just 90 minutes was wonderful .I know most people were disappointed because of the absence of extra nudity ..but who else needed that if you have good plot beautiful caste ..splendid special effects you don't need the crutches of nudity whether some one would like or not but this Trilogy closed the chapters of Dracula movies for good

This is not my favorite vampire/Dracula film but I didn't hate it either. The movie had it's moments of excitement and action but it did not thrill me as I had expected.I felt something was missing from the film yet I could not place my finger on it. I'm not sure if it was the cast itself or the acting... maybe it was the set or costuming? The story wasn't too bad but it was lacking a bit for me.I will say it's not a horrible film - just not the A+ I was hoping for. It's a pretty good watch for a rainy or otherwise boring day - it will provide some entertainment.5/10

In the movie the main character is Dracula that actually comes from a Romanian story ... It is said that when Vlad Tepes or Vrad Dracul as he was called (the name was due to the fact that pulled people to punish impaled) after a battle would end the world would have seen you drink human blood. In reality it would be drinking red wine and everything would have been just a creation. Film's director should focus more on the true story of Dracula, had to find an actor who does not look more real and not a vampire and some action had to be filmed rather Bran Castle in Romania that supports the story vampire Vlad Tepes frightening due to the construction. Too bad not related in any film, nor in this story to strive for true fiction Vlad Dracul ...
