Manohla Dargis

Although it's not half bad -- which doesn't mean it's half good -- this horror cheapie comes equipped with a few ideas, a little atmosphere and a couple of serviceable scares. Read full review

David Chute

Dracula 2000 is at heart a solidly old-fashioned cloak-and-fangs vampire flick. It honors the central traditions of the form a lot more often than it skewers them. Read full review

Film.com Gemma Files

One way or the other, there really is something to be said for a movie which seems to revel in its own inherent comic-book silliness. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

There's a lot of scary stuff in Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000. There are eyeball-sucking leeches, decapitations, punctured necks... and appalling acting. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Overall, though, the slapdash pic appears to be the work of folks who made things up as they went along; you might say they were, well, vamping. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The gratuitous use of the city (New Orleans) during Mardi Gras is the least of this movie's unoriginal sins. Read full review

Stephen Holden

It's a little sad to see actors of the quality of Christopher Plummer and Jonny Lee Miller struggling straight- faced to dignify this sewage. Read full review

This was before Gerard Butler became popular so he still had impressive acting skills. He played probably the best vampire I have seen. Jennifer Esposito played a very sexy vampire in this movie as well. It was not that technologically advanced in terms of speciall effects but was impressive. The music in this movie was something I really liked too.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alternate versions and Deleted scenes from the DVD include: An extended version of the final confrontation between Dracula and Van Helsing. An alternate version of the scene where Dracula attacks Valerie at the site of the plane crash. In this version he can be seen rising from the swamp behind her. He also says the line which could only be heard in the previews, "There are things much worse than death". A longer and much more dramatic version of the scene where Dracula talks to the Jesus on the neon cross. Dracula explains how he feels that he was the one who was betrayed. A longer version of the scene where Van Helsing and his accomplices trap Dracula in London. This was originally the opening scene to the film. A scene where vampire Val approaches Simon before leading him into the crowded streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras. During the Judas fantasy sequence, Mary walks up to Dracula while he's hanging from a tree. The rope around his neck breaks and he attacks Mary. After finding her father, Mary walks out into the hallway where she meets vampire Lucy for the first time. This was replaced by the scene where the hallway becomes longer and Mary is approached by all three vampire brides instead of just Lucy.… Expand

Dracula 2000 is great on every level. The movie has fantastic effects, acting, music and a story that
explains who Dracula was before he was Dracula and how he became Dracula.

I gave this movie a 9 becasue, i think that the actors are lovely but the ending sucks. In almost every movie Gerard was in he dies. PLus everyone says Vampires can't breathe, why did he die by getting strangeled? Gerard is the lovelyest (Not even a word, but there should be a picture I gave this movie a 9 becasue, i think that the actors are lovely but the ending sucks.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sadly a bit too shallow. Just a quick flick that will keep you mildly interested and not much rewatch value. Badass Van Helsing gets taken out of the picture quick and a pair of noobs end up eliminating Dracula and his Brides. Lacks suspense and sense of desperation throughout. There's some good stuff in there, but everything is kind of underwhelming.

Sensational credits roll songs, though. As was the norm for many movies of this era. Helps a metalhead discover new music. Just wish they would have used the music in the movie more. Not quite immersed enough in the atmosphere.… Expand

Vampire films always have the potential to be good, but "Dracula 2000" is not among the ones that deliver. It starts off promising enough - you have Christopher Plummer as an aged but likeable Van Helsing, and some of the suspense scenes in the beginning are kinda fun. But as the movie goesVampire films always have the potential to be good, but "Dracula 2000" is not among the ones that deliver. It starts off promising enough - you have Christopher Plummer as an aged but likeable Van Helsing, and some of the suspense scenes in the beginning are kinda fun. But as the movie goes on, it ultimately sucks itself dry with stupidity. Dracula should be a very menacing and imposing character - Gerard Butler's version just looks like a rich guy in a night club. The other vampires should be frightening and disturbing - instead, we get boring guys and dumb, over-sexed women ones. Plummer's character, the most promising, is killed off before he does much of anything, and it's left up to his young . . . (apprentice?) . . . to enter this conflict with comparatively little convincing shock or fear, use tricks that we never find out how he knows, and basically kick two vampire's asses while otherwise getting lamely thrown, beaten and disarmed (seriously, can't he hold onto that gun just ONCE?). Van Helsing's daughter is pretty but boring, and ultimately it all culminates into a completely over-the-top finale where - wait, since WHEN THE HELL is Dracula actually Judas Iscariot? REALLY? And he gets hung from an electronic church cross in a ridiculously overdone death? Do yourself a favor and look for better fare - there's little good blood in this pale treatment.… Expand
