Such a frustrating disappointment

Really Surprised!

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

4.9 is underrating this movie. It is a great movie. This is a Dracula sequel and it is very scary. It is one of the scariest movies of all time. This movie does not scary then no movie will scary you. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Patrick Lussier is a great director. Gerard Butler is a great actor. He is very scary in this movie. Justine Waddell is a great actress. Jonny Lee Miller is great actor. See this movie. It is a great movie. It is no 4.9. It is a lot better. If you want to scared you should see this movie. It is a true masterpiece in horror. Try not to get to scared.

Matthew Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) is a collector and Simon Sheppard (Jonny Lee Miller) is his apprentice. His secretary Solina (Jennifer Esposito) is the inside man for a break-in led by her boyfriend Marcus (Omar Epps). They open a coffin and release Count Dracula (Gerard Butler). The thieves are turned into vampires. Van Helsing is actually the original who takes regular injections of Dracula's blood to stay alive. His estranged daughter Mary Heller was born after he started his injections and has a psychic connection with Dracula.It's a complete mess. There are great actors but it's hard to say if anybody is the lead. It needs an overhaul to figure out who the audience is following and clear up the story. It probably has a few too many ideas and too many characters. It fails to build the rooting interest and therefore the scares don't hit as hard.

If it's a Dracula movie, you know how it turns out. The ironic thing is that the Virgin Store where all of the massive "Product Placement" occurs.....went the way of Dracula. Geez, could they be more obvious? The Virgin Store in New Orleans shut down not too long after this movie was made. I lived there at the time. So much for death of everything tied to this movie. Gerard Butler is Yummy, the young British actor is cute too. Justine Waddel is annoying with all her breathless running around (with a Virgin t-shirt no less). The premise is laughable. I didn't think the movie was as sucky as some. As I said.....Gerard Butler is yummy.

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 ...
