This movie has some good moments, but they are far outnumbered by the ones that make you cringe.
Namely the incredibly painful product ipod product placement - "Oh, she likes to listen to MP3's while battling vampires!" - any sense of immersion in a film is ripped away in a giant moment of "WTF??"
Others: The "honorable warrior" dude seems like a rather nice fellow, really. They talked about 'Dracula' being in the film, but I never saw him. Sarcasm aside, for Dracula, he radiates about as much evil as a bunny rabbit. He doesn't come off as terribly bloodthirsty or vile, and truth be told, does nothing to indicate he's anything out of the ordinary aside from perhaps being stronger than your average bear, er, I mean, vampire.
The rest of the vampires are literally forgettable. They have nothing to distinguish themselves from one another and simply blur together. They don't come off as terribly evil, and when they're getting their rear ends handed to them by some generic humans, you have to try to recall what advantages vampires had in the first place. It certainly wasn't being stronger or faster than a regular human, because there was no evidence of that.
The actors are all nice enough, and it seems like they try, though they don't succeed, and most of the fault for that lies in the source material.
Very much a take it or leave it film with zero value in repeat viewing.
