They're certainly the most ostentatious adaptations from the past two decades, and everyone I've talked to has a preference...so which one?
I dig Branagh's. It's every bit as melodramatic as Dracula, but the performances are stronger and the narrative far more focused.

1. Dracula even with the spectacularly awful Keanu Reeves. |

6. Yeah...Keanu was pretty awful in that |
|
but I really have to give kudos to Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, and...yes, kudos to Gary Oldman in the title role. He rarely disappoints, Oldman...and he pretty much nailed that role
