Dracula

"He renounced his faith to become immortal. Passion, anger, vengeance, and hatred will be unleashed into the modern world."

When a 15th-century prince’s wife is brutally murdered, he renounces God and damns heaven itself. Cursed with eternal life, he is reborn as Dracula–an immortal warlord who defies fate in a blood-soaked crusade to wrench his lost love back from death.

I rather like the fact that Luc Besson has gone off and done his own thing, with "Dracula".

This film freshly blends fantasy, romance, action and a dash of horror. There are lots of creative, dramatic aspects to this story. Its Dracula writ-large. Where it falls down somewhat is its rather abrupt final scenes. There's no real build up, things just happen, leaving it feeling somewhat perfunctory.

In summary, this is a creative, elaborately cinematic take, on the Dracula myth, with lots of lavish, over the top trappings. Certainly worth a look.
