I like the look of Christopher Lee's Dracula, but unfortunately he lacks the seductiveness and charm of Lugosi's take. The score for this film is good, a bit over the top but still fitting. Van Helsing is fantastic in this movie, and is easily the best part for me. The blood and action is a nice addition, but it didn't add much dread to my experience.
I liked the details of vampirism in this story, and I found the introduction interesting, and Dracula's bride was beautiful! It's a shame we didn't get more of her. The castle looked nice and the finale was ok, but I expected more from this film, and I have to say it only just reached the good threshold for me.
I'll give the sequel a shot but I'm hoping Lee get's a better chance to shine as the prince of darkness.
