I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I didn't like myself in the movie, it was a big walking dead ripoff, i wish i could take this back. Super cringy especially my parts as Jesus. If i could do this again I would not have hired a cast that included me, i realize now that I'm not an actor or a good employee in fact I lost multiple jobs and was fired as a teacher, goodluck to everyone but my acting career is definitely shot.

Wes Craven's Dracula 2000 is one of those horror flicks that proudly slaps his name over the title like he runs the show, when in fact he's only participating under a vague executive producer credit. Now that we've got that little detail out of the way we can talk about what a thoroughly awesome movie it is, and how the haters can go suck it. It's a high concept slice of bloody fun and has easily one of the best pairings of an actor with the Dracula mythos ever: Gerard Butler. He's young and lean here, before he turned into a tank later in his career, and he makes one hell of a kick ass Dracula. The story is too good to be true: a team of arch criminals, led by Omar Epps and also including Hyde from That 70's Show (lol) break into the European mansion of Dr. Abraham Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) and steal the heavy duty coffin which he has stashed in his basement and used to contain Vladdy for over a hundred years. Helsing has always used a compound derived from his blood to keep himself alive all that time and ensure that he never gets loose. The burglars have no idea what they're on for, and pretty soon Butler is loose and ready to get freaky, tearing apart their getaway plane and running off into the chaotic streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras. He's searching for a girl (Justine Waddell) to have sex with her and fulfill some horrific prophecy (nice little nod to End Of Days there). Dracula, Mardi Gras, Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer; four ingredients to pretty much ensure your movie is gonna rock. Plummer makes one of the best on screen Van Helsings in my books, rivaled only perhaps by Anthony Hopkins. Butler is a sleek, hip and sensual Dracula, playing the role to the bloody hilt and sedimenting a really cool rendition of the character, with a surprising twist ending that adds some depth to the guy. Watch for work from Jennifer Esposito, Sean Patrick Thomas, Shane West, Lochlyn Munro and Nathan Fillion as well. Great retelling, or rather addition to the legend, held up by Butler.

Dracula 2000 is one of those films that doesn't appear to be anything else than another cheesy B-flick with a paper thin plot, bland characters and awful dialogue. And while granted it is a B-flick in tone, it has more depth than that.First of all, it has some real acting talent working for it. Both Christopher Plummer as Van Helsing and Gerard Butler as Dracula are very good actors in their own right and it shows. Butler is not a perfect fit for the character of Dracula, but he is much better than you'd expect. The more minor actors are also refreshingly decent and do manage to keep the story afloat throughout the entire film.The story is also good and smooth, if somewhat basic in principle, the special effects work surprisingly well and the soundtrack fits the style well. But what I really love about this film is the way it uses and re-purposes vampire lore. It uses all the usual clichés skillfully, but the best part is the new backstory they give Dracula. It's unlike anything I've seen, yet fits perfectly, neatly explaining most of the idiosyncrasies he has. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and I do hope it catches on.And that's Dracula 2000. It's a good film with some hints of greatness, despite the goofy name. Well worth a watch for all vampire horror fans.

In 1897, while the credits roll, rats crawl around some presumably dead bodies on a ship. Without explanation, we are diverted to 2000 London. Elderly antique collector Christopher Plummer (as Matthew Van Helsing), presumably the descendant of Bram Stoker's original vampire hunter, discusses business with surrogate son Jonny Lee Miller (as Simon Sheppard). Meanwhile, a gang of thieves looking for treasure break into Mr. Plummer's vault. They find a sealed coffin. The crooks assume it to be filled with riches, although they are unable to look inside. The take the coffin to New Orleans by plane...The titular "Dracula" is released, by daring Danny Masterson (as Nightshade). Gerard Butler (as Dracula) acts the roll vainly. There is a good deal of vampire action. The women herein are very sexy, beginning with beautiful bed camera angles uncovering "Virgin" clerk Justine Waddell (as Mary Heller). She has a secret. Also look out for seductive roommate Colleen Fitzpatrick (as Lucy), self-described sucker Jennifer Esposito (as Solina) and luscious TV newscaster Jeri Ryan (as Valerie Sharpe), The film has a twist on the "Dracula" story which you may find clever or stupid; my reaction was definitely the latter.**** Dracula 2000 (12/22/00) Patrick Lussier ~ Gerard Butler, Jonny Lee Miller, Justine Waddell, Christopher Plummer
