Drácula

I love it from beginning to end. A different perspective than the one we're used to, it kept me engaged the whole time, a romantic movie like the ones from the old days. If you don't like romance movies, this movie isn't for you. But if so, you'll enjoy it from beginning to end, and Dracula's dark touch is perfect.

It's been almost 30 years since the last Besson film I was thrilled with. It was The Fifth Element, a daring, dynamic film by a brilliant madman... it was a long wait, but Besson is back. The cast is great, the performances are mostly Oscar-worthy, and his new in-house actor Caleb Landry Jones is a very good replacement for the unique Jean Reno. And he would be a great Joker in the style of Heath Ledger in the event of a prequel. A film with heart and soul made for the audience with an anti-hero who is hard to love, but can be understood, and can be sympathized with. I never liked Coppola's version of Bram Stocker's Dracula, and I really wanted someone to make a better version, but I really didn't expect that someone would be my favorite director from the great nineties (Nikita, Leon). I only hope that I don't have to wait another 30 years for a film this great. 10/10.

This reimagining of Dracula is an excellent addition to the classic story. The performances by the main actors, Zoë Bleu and Caleb Landry Jones, are excellent. Especially newcomer Zoë Bleu is outstanding, delivering an excellent performance and looking stunning on screen. The romance and chemistry between the two in the film's opening act are portrayed in a great and kind of sweet manner. By contrast, the relationship between Jonathan Harker and Mina is left completely unexplored and lacks any real development. Overall, Jonathan's character feels shallow and underdeveloped. Mina's friend Maria, on the other hand, comes across as oddly overacted and doesn't fit the film's historical setting.

The movie boasts impressive visuals. The set design, costumes, and cinematography are beautiful. Only the gargoyles/goblins feel oddly out of place and not particularly well executed for a big-budget 2025 production.

There are a few minor errors-such as modern toy balloons appearing at a 19th-century funfair-that are unfortunate and should have been avoided. Still, these are small criticisms of an otherwise highly enjoyable and well-crafted film that delivers a fresh, visually striking take on the Dracula legend. Recommended!

This film is utterly tragically beautiful. I must say that i havent been stuck on a movie for decades but this movie changes everything. It has some humor and will be for sure beloved by people who love dark romance. It hasn't been reviewed greatly because some people might find it bold, but i find it very artistic. Nobody ever took this kind of twists in Dracula movies. I think people are right now a bit thrown back by this twist but i can asure you to watch this movie and be impressed by it!

Really enjoyed Luc Besson's Dracula. It's dark and stylish without trying too hard. Christopher Waltz was amazing, this could be expected. And honestly, the whole cast was just beautiful to look at. The visuals, the costumes, the mood... all of it was gorgeous. Definitely worth a watch if you're into gothic stories with a fantasy touch.
