Dracula 2000

Wes Craven should stick to making fun of himself and his genre. His latest adventure since "Scream 3," "Dracula 2000" runs 99 minutes in length, so at least it's quick. If this movie ran any longer, the viewers might feel like their own blood was slowly being sucked from their bodies.\n With shoddy acting and a lot of predictability, "Dracula" does nothing but slightly entertain the audience. Three hot female vampires and their cleavage are the only strong point of the movie. The women tease most males into thinking this movie might get a little better, but the women basically keep their clothes on.\n The action scenes were boring and dull. Only once or twice did the audience jump from surprise. The peak of the fight scenes was a low point for the movie as main character Simon Sheppard (Johnny Lee Miller, Sick Boy from "Trainspotting") tells a vampire "never mess with an antiques dealer." I'll never mess with an antiques dealer.\n Omar Epps and his cronies break into Abraham Van Helsing's (Christopher Plummer) dungeon where he has Dracula (Gerard Butler) locked up in a coffin. Thinking riches are locked inside, they open the coffin to find the original vampire Dracula. Dracula then goes to New Orleans to hunt for Van Helsing's daughter, Justine (Mary Heller).\n Van Helsing and his assistant Sheppard, travel to New Orleans to try to save Justine from becoming Dracula's lover and to slay all the new vampires.\n "Dracula 2000" doesn't waste anytime diving into the technicalities of Dracula myth. The plot doesn't lead the viewer to a long, drawn-out researching session of Dracula history like in more complex vampire movies such as "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and "Interview with a Vampire."\n But, if you don't like the movie, at least you won't have to sit through a two-hour piece of crap.
