  • I know British Fu.

  • Keanu's performance is the only real problem I have with this movie. I mean, I like the guy, but for some reason he just decided not to try in this one.

  • His only good performance was in A Scanner Darkly

  • Gosh his British accent is even monotoned... And is BLUDTEEE HORRIFIC

  • Anthony Hopkins was hilarious

  • Am I the only one that believes that Keanu was perfectly casted? I certainly hope I’m not. The ones that critique his job in this film definitely didn’t read the novel; Jonathan is as drool as it can get, and does not even get the treatment of a main character after he escapes the castle. The real protagonist, believe it or not, is Mina; who was not a fawning little damsel in distress like she is in this incredibly overrated movie.

  • @VeganHyena Keanu was perfectly cast in Bill & Ted. Full stop. In Dracula he's so out of his depth it's scary. How he has gotten to work with the likes of Pacino, Hopkins, Oldman, Washington et al, is truly, one of life's many mysteries...I would love to know what these actors really thought about his abilities as they acted along side him..

  • @ThatsSoInane I see your point. However, if I'm allowed to be honest, this movie is nothing serious; it's not a marvelous piece of cinema. Dracula cries purple tears for crying out loud! Keanu's acting fits, in my opinion, because the movie is so over the top and ridiculous.

  • @VeganHyena I did watch it again rather recently, and you are right, all the performances are OTT. He obviously got most/all of his parts for aesthetic reasons, I can't believe directors look at his work and go "wow, what an actor" Overall, the best acting I have seen from Keanu is in The Devil's Advocate, another OTT film...

  • I really like Keanu Reeves but talk about miscasting. This was not his role to play. 1993, let me think. Well, Aidan Quinn would've been a good choice for example.

  • @hudson0815 even a block of wood would of been a better choice....

  • So much priggishness going on here...

  • I like his emphasis on "inferno" 1:54

  • Woah dude, its like, like dracula-Reeves.

  • bloody wolves chasing me through some BLEUH INFUH-NO

  • Jeez, the guy from Nosferatu had more personality then this guy. And that was a SILENT film.

  • For the first time ever I'm glad to have seen the German dubbed version instead of the original! :D

  • Keanu reeves is still a cutie. but my god can his face register more than two facial expressions???!!!

  • He has done an incredible range of movies and his performances are nuanced and mostly (though of course not always) hit the mark. The problem is that he works in Hollywood where performances have to be hammed up till kingdom come for them to be appreciated. He would’ve been better appreciated in mainland Europe where subtlety is not the exception but the rule.If he Seriously was a bad actor, would so many amazing drectors have taken a chance with him? No way.

  • That's the one of the worst British accents I've ever heard! And I've seen Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

  • I think it's obvious why he got this role: He is immortal

  • At least he and Wino-facial-expression Ryder compliment each other.

    And it's a nice touch to have all the actors have equally incomprehensible accents for the sake of continuity.

  • Gawd, I love Gary Oldman in this.

  • *Alternative Dialogue Suggested:

    (0:57-0:59): "I love you, Nina, and I'm feeling really wired tonight. What do you say I take you home and eat your pussy?"

    (1:20-1:22): [From Dracula]: THIS IS SPARTAAA!!!"

    (2:09-2:13): "OH MY GOOOOODD!!!"

    (2:14-2:15): [From Dracula, before his laugh], "Garbage day!"

    (2:56-2:59): [Winona whispers]: "It's turkey time. Gobble, gobble."

  • @danning1 Or even "Mina". :P

  • I remember paying to see this when it came out, and when it seemed like Keanu died early in the film, thinking thank the gods!! Than he came back with a head full of flour, and bored me some more. There is not an ounce of chemistry between him and Winona Ryder.

  • River Phoenix should have had Keanu's role.

  • his british accent is ridiculous =s

  • 2:35-2:37

    If you didn't know better that could totally be a clip from Bill & Ted Meets Dracula.

  • @shredderduuude EXACTLY what I thought when I heard it.

    "Woah! He's grown young! WOAAAAHHH!"

  • Damn! i mean, seriously... HOW THE FUCK DID HE GET THE ROLE??? :s

  • @USAGAMES he was pretty popular back then and girls were crazy about him like they are today about that fag from Twilight or like they were about Di Caprio when Titanic came out. He was probably cast just to draw in more viewers.

  • @Skac01 except Di Caprio is actually good

  • @Skac01 im only liking this cause you mentioned DiCaprio's name :D

  • GREAT PERFORMANCE. I didn't notice he was acting... NO SHIT! i can't be that hypocrite, this scene was painful to watch!!! >(

  • at 2:33 i could swear that keanu sounds like ted.

    "it is the most bodacious man himself...look, he's grown young!"

  • This movie was horrible to begin with. Add Keanu Reeves to it and you'll be driving a stake through your own heart just to get out of watching it.

  • Critics praised Keanu reeves for playing as hamlet, apparently playing as one of the best hamlets yet. As if! XD They could have picked so many better actors for harker.

  • 2:30 johnny depp

    

  • LOL "i know where da bastard sleeps"

  • @MrBurgundy76 whenever i hear that line i just wait for him to say "i brough him there, duuuuude!" and then smile like a retard. xD

  • 1:00 i thought that was the guy with tits on his head from Little Nicky

  • LOL at 1:06

  • Sometimes he shines. Most of the time he sucks. He must be related to Christian Bale.

  • @GameJourney don't talk about Bale like that, he'll trash your lights.

  • @GameJourney Christian Bale sucked a few times, Keanuu reeves is only good at playing a clueless teenage which really isn't acting on his half

  • @GameJourney you mean oscar winning, diverse character actor christian bale?

    you get nothing, you lose, good day sir.

  • @MrBurgundy76 I never said he was Oscar winning. LOL. Have you ever seen American Psycho?

  • @GameJourney that was good acting as a psycho in that movie, i guarantee 90 percent of people whove seen that think so, its a cult classic. by the way, he won a oscar for the fighter in case you didnt know, which he was great in.

  • Even Count Dracula himself, that is, we're talking the prince of darkness, ruthless killer, is laughing at Keanu Reeves' horrible acting.

  • I love keanu!!!!

  • I thought Keanu Reeves did prettty well with the English accent, but next time you watch Dracula (if you have ever watched or intend to watch it), listen to Winona Ryder's accent. She added way too much emphasis on every single word.

  • @regenerstej1995 she was terrible. i'm not english, but even I was embarrassed when I heard her.

  • @regenerstej1995 Actually they both did, depending on the scene. when you watch the scene with her and Dracula in the bed, like you wrote, she puts way too much emphasis. For example: (Oh yes my love, you found me. I've wanted this to happen, I know that now. I want to be with you, always.) Or when she says: (I wanted to feel your touch again) It sounds like she's saying gain as in gaining something. As for Keanu, I'm not even going to start.

  • @unknownXbeing (laughs) Then I'll start for you. Keanu Reeves slips in this movie more than Seth McFarlane does with Stewie in "Family Guy," and the latter is just supposed to be a funny cartoon series. Reeves sounds like his father was a California surfer and his mother was British and they couldn't decide where to live (or to surf perhaps) so they kept moving back and forth. Other times he looks or sounds merely constipated. I think you get the gist of what I'm saying.

  • @2:14 xDDDDDD

  • this movie was pretty bad.

  • Best freind: was she in great pain?

    Vanhellsing: yes she was in great pain then we defiled her grave drove a stake though her heart and cut off her head then burned it and then she found pease.

    gota love vanhellsing

  • Best freind: was she in great pain?

    Vanhellsing: yes she was in great pain then we defiled her grave drove a stake though her heart and cut off her head.

    gota love vanhellsing

  • worst non take the piss british acsent ever atempted by humon beingd

  • dracula in general looks like a asshole.

  • I love Anthony Hopkins in this movie.

  • ahhh Keanu. Bless.

  • I've seen many strange things already; BLOODY WOLVES chasing me through some BLUE inFERNOOO

  • @unknownXbeing DOCTOR!!! please..

  • @Nelsonhojax15 MR. HOPKINS!!!! Please teach me how to act..

  • @unknownXbeing I'm sorry Mr. Reeves, but...you are a disciple of evil, a willing recruit, you are..THE DEVIL'S CONCUBINE!

  • @Nelsonhojax15 I bet even the Devil's concubine would act better than he does. lol

  • Keanu Reeves compared to Gary Oldman is like Twilight compared to Dracula:

    It's shit. BIG shit.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • He does that same head bopping and blinking thing he did in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in every film he does.

  • dracula's hair looks like an asshole...

  • Comment removed

  • I know where the bastard sleeps!

  • i bet hopkins and oldman fuckin hated working with such amateurism

  • @tiasarahellielorna Actually, one time the venerable Anthony Hopkins had to work with an even worse actor for an entire movie (i.e. not just a couple of scenes). The movie was called "The Edge," it came out in 1997, and his co-star was Alec Baldwin.

  • Everything about this movie seems absurd and ridiculous.

  • 0:40 gayest marriage proposal ever

  • Keanu Reeves sucks at acting, don't get me wrong, I like some Keanu Reeves movies, but he is just a bad actor...

  • Best acting ever. Thumbs up Keanu.

  • Look, he's grown young!

  • how the hell was this movie well revied this is awfull xD

  • Really- what was going through Coppola's and his casting director's head when they made this call? Actually...Except Oldman and (maybe) Hopkins the acting was pretty weak, but Keeanu just stands out on how bad he was in the film

  • I hated this movie, and Keanu was the least of my complaints

  • @greensucksbluerules not eating.. and that sudden fall was still out of place

  • I just watched this movie, Keanus performance is painful, embarrassing but most of all distracting to the movie. i would definitely have enjoyed it more without him. how can people still hire him?

  • HE'S GROWN YOUNG DUDE!!!!! EXCELLENT!!!!!

  • @ 2:14, the original troll face.

  • Comment removed

  • why does he fall to the ground at 2:12 ?.. :D

  • dracula's hands are mad hairy

  • lol NOO NOO OUR WORK IS FINEESHED HERE

  • This is practically unwatchable; acting this bad is physically painful to watch.

  • "Ah've seen many strange things alreadeh! Bloody wolves chasing me into ah blew infehnow!"

  • IF I MAY INQWUIYAH

  • How the hell can someone grow young???

  • @Skac01 i just dont get it,..,.,.why does keanus hair become grey

  • @MrMasoodrodman1 from stress probably.

  • @Skac01 no seriously dude

  • @MrMasoodrodman1 from stress probably. people do loose hair pigmentation due to extreme stress or fear. he went through quite a lot of strees and fear in the beginning of the movie when he's locked in Dracula's castle.

  • @Skac01 You wrote in the description that a lot of the acting (not just from Reeves) is absolutely laughable. By other actors, do you mean Winona Ryder? If so, why is that? (I know I do)

  • @unknownXbeing yeah, I mean her, she was awful. her line delivery sounded like it was by a 5 years old girl, she was just as wooden as Reeves.

  • how has justin bieber (baby) had more views than this?!

  • I love how every shot looks like Gary Oldman is mocking Keanu's shitty acting...

    Take 2:10 for example.

  • "I know where the bastard sleeps, i brought him there... to Cawfax Abbeeeeh"

  • LOL, what i find so funny is that Keanu Reeves is surrounded in this movie by other UK actors like Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, and Cary Elwes, yet for them to be there and hear Keanu Reeves butcher the English accent they were born with, i'm surprise they didn't break character and slap him in his face for it. Now that takes Professionalism.

  • Nice haircut drac

  • Bluddy wulves chaysing may through some blue inferno!

  • Best English accent ever! This guy can teach the English people what an English accent should sound like.

  • @tFighterPilot i agree lol iv heard far worse from english ppl

  • @tFighterPilot lololololololololololololololo­l

  • "If I may inqwiawh"?

    What a cunt. Totally ruined this movie.

  • paausing it at his asshole hair just destroyed me hahahaaaa

  • Dracula is laughing at Reeves' horrible acting at 2:14! Who can blame him, I know I would...

  • Hey, I just realized something; if you look carefully in the crowd at 2:40, you Dracula walking away like nothing happened. My impression was that he had just vanished into thin air, but I guess not.

  • dracula's hair looks like boobs

  • LOL, his acting belongs in a soap opera, but at least he's handsome.

  • I bet you there's some sick fuck out there that beats off to that Gary Oldman's asswig. I find that really disturbing yet histarical at the same time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I will never forget that fucking wig, dear gawd!!

  • DOKTAH!

  • This movie couldn't ham it up harder if Vincent Price played every role.

  • this is a great movie. i don't find mr reeves acting noticeably bad, here. he is average. and i don't find resemblance of dracula's hair with an asshole, which, every mature enough person on the planet knows that it has round shape (the asshole, that is). so no fav.

  • this man cannot act to save his mother's life. sorry folks.

  • Lol, I just noticed now; at about 2:51 Keanu seems to be slightly slapping back to his Canadian accent, then at 3:14 he yells out like "I knou Wheeh tha Bahst-d sleeps.". I personally think he was the biggest failure in the film.

  • "I know H-Whea the Bosstad sleeps" hahaha

  • Best thing is cinematography and sound, acting (except by Oldman) is bad as bad.

    Btw, I favourited this.

  • @11strelokfan1000 thank you for favoriting! you helped the society by doing that.

  • @Skac01 My pleasure :)

  • @Skac01 lmao XD helped society :3

  • @11strelokfan1000 Let's also not forget Anthony Hopkins (Abraham Van Helsing), Tom Waits (Renfield) and Sadie Frost (Lucy Westenra)! They were just as good as Gary

  • @unknownXbeing Yeah, I will admit that at least Hopkins, and possibly these other actors, did fine jobs although I wonder why Anthony used an almost-German accent for a Romanian character.

  • @11strelokfan1000 Actually, Doctor Van Helsing is Dutch.

  • @Squiglypig Oh yeah, that explains the 'Van' in his name. Did not occur to me :/ but still, German is just as wrong.

  • @11strelokfan1000 Tom Waits put in a great performance.

  • @ehansen3

    Come on, he's Tom Waits. He simply can't stop being awesome. It's against his biology,

  • @TheLeoOfCostaRica Agreed :)

  • INFERNO

  • The cinematography is quite possibly the only redeeming quality of this film...that and the background sound ...honestly its hard to take the film seriously with dracula played by beethoven played by commissioner gorden played by gary oldman wearing his hair like a giant ass on his head!

  • This is so hilarious. I don't think anyone can take this seriously.

  • If you say so, okay. All I was saying is that Oldman didn't make me believe it. He just doesn't have the presence to pull it off. Anyone who plays Count Dracula has to have a tremendous presence. Gary just doesn't have that for me. I think the last man who was able to pull it off was Frank Langela. That was a long time ago. I'm still waiting for the actor who can play Dracula again. These are very big shoes to fill. Any suggestions?

  • Oldman was ridiculous in this. And Winona is way too weak and puny to play a woman who this centuries-old vampire is in love with. Huh? We're supposed to believe that? What the crap? I think Keanu would have made a better vampire. Come to think of it, I could believe that. Say what you want about him but he has a very strong presence in the right roles. He could totally be a vampire. Anyone would be better than those two snoozes Oldman and Ryder. Ugh!

  • @brandydeshayzer Oldman nailed it. Drac is supposed to be over the top, and Oldman absolutely was perfect for it as shown.

  • @YouCantDeleteDenzelL : If you say so, okay. All I was saying is that Oldman didn't make me believe it. He just doesn't have the presence to pull it off. Anyone who plays Count Dracula has to have a tremendous presence. Gary just doesn't have that for me. I think the last man who was able to pull it off was Frank Langela. That was a long time ago. I'm still waiting for the actor who can play Dracula again. These are very big shoes to fill. Any suggestions?

  • "Them as pinched it... done her in."

  • darktor, please!!!!

  • KHAAAAAAAAN!

  • The acting from Keanu is MOST EXCELLENT!

  • Winona and Anthony Hopkins are ridiculous as well here

  • keanu's accent upgraded this movie from 'fucking awful' to 'so bad it's good'. He is literally the only entertaining thing on screen for the entire nine hour duration.

    Also... B'yeeewdapest!

  • whats up with his hair from 2:50 and on

  • Yes awf cohse seh. if i may inkwiah, what happened to mistah renfild in transilvania?

  • He's gotten better in his years. He's still not great by any standards, but he isn't THIS bad.

  • Even Anthony Hopkins sucked in this one.

    And Dracula in the book was dressed all in black, not flaming red housecoats or powder blue suits with blue sunglasses.

    And his head of white hair wasn't some weird-ass thing, but rather more Mark Twain like.

    And Dracula didn't "love" Lucy nor Mina, they were simply dinner. That was a rip from the Dan Curtis Dracula, which came from the Dan Curtis Dark Shadows, which came from the Boris Karloff Mummy.

  • @ysbaddaden2003 I've read the book. The book very seldom describes what Drac is wearing so who knows he could be wearing flaming red housecoats or powder blue suits with blue shades (I wish I could look that badass LOL).

    Again, we don't know exactly what he looked like. Each character had a different vision of him.

    Also, we know he didn't love. Same could be said for the Langella Dracula. *rolls eyes*

  • @YouCantDeleteDenzelL

    You're right,

    But when Jonathan Harker first meets Dracula, he's described as being all in black, without a speck of color anywhere.

    Because he's primarily nocturnal, that continues to make sense, although he could be out and about during the day, which he was on at least a couple of occasions.

    The book never really described anyone's clothes, after that, but that's no basis to believe Jonathan Harker went about in a sequined butt thong.

  • 2:35 "Look he's grown young" He sounds like Ted Logan from, well, Bill and Ted.

  • Whoah, I've got to be Henry VIII in 20 minutes... Hello. Hello. 'ello. 'ello... Got it!

  • Seriously, can't you guys give Keanu Reeves some slack? Yes, I know his British accent could have been better even for a movie made in 1992. But YOU guys try being an up-and-coming actor that gets a chance to be in an amazing movie such as this, and see how you fair with a 19th century British accent.

    Still, I suppose I can't help but look back and giggle a little.

  • @linkieloos "his British accent could have been better" Seriously? Thats like saying "Hitler could have been nicer".

  • Comment removed

  • @Mysterious0Bob That's a ridiculous comparison. Still, an opinion is an opinion, I guess.

  • "bloody wolves chasing through some...blue INFERNO!"

  • Reeves is way out of his league here. Go make Bill and Ted 3.

  • he's a good actor in the matrix and bill & ted but he has just failed in this lmao

  • Yap, he´s terrible...

  • Hahaha, I love this movie! One of the funniest of all time!
