That was an excellent one.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Excellent but underrated film

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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.

So here's the bare bones. Dracula is alive, kept in stasis by Abraham Van Helsing since 1887. Van Helsing has regularly injected himself with the vampire's blood to sustain his life. His protégé, Simon Sheppard-whom is officially nicknamed Puddles due to his tendency to follow Van Helsing like a puppy, believes his mentor is merely Van Helsing's descendant. A group of the stupidest on screen thieves ever conceived break into Van Helsing's antique store and come across the coffin of Dracula. Assuming it's valuable, they take it with them on a plane to New Orleans. Dracula attacks the thieves after being inadvertently revived. Their plane crashes in a Louisiana swamp and Dracula escapes. Van Helsing, realizing the coffin is gone and Dracula may be awake, follows with Puddles close behind. Dracula is looking for Van Helsing's daughter, Mary, since she was conceived after Van Helsing was injecting himself with the vampire blood, there's some magical hoodoo about her being a dhampir or something. Dracula quickly eats three women, making them 'brides' which in turn ambush and murder Van Helsing after he arrives in The Big Easy. Puddles is left alone without training pads and the responsibility of finding Mary before Dracula can have his way with her.So, not only is this movie bad, the soundtrack is filled with early millennial nu-metal and rap-metal bands who suck: Saliva, Papa Roach, Disturbed, (hed)p.e., Taproot, and Linkin Park. It's almost surprising that Limp Bizkit didn't make into the film since it looks any band who had a hit or was reasonably popular could've made an appearance. Besides the ridiculous slasher feel brought to a classic horror character, some of the worst acting witnessed occurs as Vitamin C (Colleen Fitzpatrick) makes her on screen debut as Mary Van Helsing's roommate. Corporate branding was never a bigger eyesore due to the now-defunct Blockbuster Music stores shown all over the place as Mary and Vitamin C work there together.

Yeah. OK. I guess Vampirism had to originate from somewhere - But Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus Christ!!?? Duh. Like - WTF!? Am I really supposed to accept this bull? C'mon! Give me a frickin' break, already!! I mean, how thick-headed can people get? London Antique Dealer, Mathew Van Helsing, and his young sidekick, Simon, head to New Orleans to rescue Virgin Megastore clerk, Lucy Westerman (who has transfused blood of the 'Goth' neck-nibbler flowing through her veins), from falling under the hypnotic charms of Cinema's Most Famous Bloodsucker.This modern-day take on the Vampire Classic clearly shows us why some legendary characters are best left to their own era.Dracula 2000 has a few good moments and better performances than one might expect, but basically it's a really-really dumb movie. This film was followed by 2 utterly terrible direct-to-video sequels.

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 ...
