"Drakooooool!"

Watched this when it came out. It was my first experience with an audience spontaneously deciding, in unison, to reject a movie outright. Within the first 10 minutes. Tidal waves of laughter at every line. Especially Keanu, of course.

Unmitigated crap.

Yeah, it's horse-shit, but it's totally entertaining: every single scene with Old Dracula, the crazy optical effects, all the Transylvania railroad shots, Keanu Reeve's nipples spurting blood, the chase sequence towards the end, all the insane asylum scenes, the prologue with the shadow-puppet impalings.

Despite being a total train wreck, when you watch it, you get the feeling that it was made by a bunch of people who really fucking love filmmaking. And I'm not immune to that feeling.

NOT CRAP

Fun to look at, a chore to sit through.

wow. three academy awards.

none for acting, writing or directing though.

An absolutely entertaining scream of a movie. Not what was intended by Coppola, I'm sure, but NC for all the reasons he didn't intend.

I watched this film back-to-back with 'Deathstalker II'. This was worse.

Anyone else think Gary Oldman looks like Bib Fortuna from Return of the Jedi in this flick?

oh, and it's pretty much horseshit. But hey, staring at Winona Ryder in a performance that defines the word "awful" is pretty fucking fun. staring at Winona Ryder in general is pretty fun.

YES.

YES.

I made out with a really cute girl after watching this movie with her. I was 18 and she was...um...15? That's almost as awesome as the acrobatic prowess of Winona's rack in the garden scenes.

I'm sure i would laugh my ass off at this movie if i watched it today. Movie = CRAP. Making out with 15-year-olds = NOT CRAP.

Keanu Reeves really went full-throttle with his acting for this movie.

"Muuuuuuzik? Those wolves?"
