Dionar Hidalgo Algo Más Que Cine Luc Besson’s Dracula: A Love Tale reimagines the vampire myth as a tragic romance, elevated by Caleb Landry Jones’ haunting performance and Danny Elfman’s score—a bold, heartfelt take on an immortal story. Rated: 7/10 Aug 16, 2025 Full Review Hernán Ferreirós La Nación (Argentina) Luc Besson ’s new film, Dracula, looks exactly like a mockbuster of Francis Ford Coppola’s eponymous film, except it comes 33 years later, and there’s no obvious benefit to such imitation.

Bubble G The movie started off a really great, but the ending was trash. they made it like Dracula had a therapist... A priest therapist.. the ending was so weird it does not compare to the original Bram stoker's Dracula. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Jess N I want to start this review by saying you cannot compare it to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I have loved that movie since I was a young gal and it holds a very dear place in my heart. While this rendition is definitely based off that movie, it is its own entity entirely. The style is different. Where Bram Stoker’s was very gothic, dark, classic, and serious - this rendition holds elements of those themes but with a more whimsical, fantastical, and humorous lens. The acting was superb. Our leads Caleb Landry Jones and Zoe Bleu have so much chemistry, they made my heart ache every time they were on screen. This movie made me cry, yearn, and wish it was an hour longer. Something I rarely feel with films. In my opinion, Jones is the best Dracula thus far. Which I’m sure many will want to fight me on, but, again, this is saying something because Gary Oldman was phenomenal (and I loved his performance as well). However, Caleb conveys such deep emotions with his eyes, and it touched my very soul. This is without a doubt one of my favorite movies to date. I loved it SO much. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Natalie D This film will stay with me for a while. Caleb Landry Jones bought so much to his portrayal of Dracula that I've never seen before. It was quite honestly beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Xin W As a avid watcher of every vampire storyline out there I thought that Dracula : A love tale would be something amazing this time considering we live in the modern era, but it felt like a Disney made simplified version of it. Don't get me wrong, the scenes with Caleb and his co-star are fine, the plot just seemed rushed and mediocre, it's as if he's even bored to be there in the fight scenes (what is with that helmet). Also, I couldn't really find the bringing up Transylvania or anything related to Romania except for when the Romanian army is there. At least the 92 version had tried to use Romanian language and religion, making it feel even more eerie and macabre. All in all sure it's good for TikTok edits that made me watch it, but it was boring and lacking in a few ways that made me scream "No why would you do that!". I guess they blew the budget on the A+ celebrity "wink". Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review J H Could not have loved this movie more. The passion, the emotion, and the cinematography were all excellent. The acting was superb and the story telling had depth which gave the movie beautiful layers of elegance. 10/10! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Nadia M I understand that maybe people that read the book, and watched the all movies from 1922 Nosferatu the original to the Francis Ford Coppola in the 80's-90's were not the market target anymore, but even with that the film and the screenplay were no to good. Mix other films and others stories (like copying The Perfume). The only thing that save my attention were the main actor and the actresses, very good performance.
