Well basically this film was not worth seeing the plot was terrible the acting was terrible and I can't understand why anybody would try to even make a film with such a terrible idea. The film however is extremely funny especially the first 20 minutes because almost half of the footage was taken from Terminator 2, this involves the siege of cyberdyne systems. The same footage was used for the destruction of the building, also the part where the T-100 fires on the police below who arrive in exactly the same way as in T:2. This was hilarious seeming that they were using mp5's in this movie and Arnold was using a mini-gun in T:2 which fires 100s of rounds at a time where an mp5 has a clip of 30, some how the mp5 manages to do the same amount of damage as in t:2 yet as in T:2 all the policeman were avoided, but then later in the film the killing of policeman seems to be a regular occurrence, hmmm also the helicopter scene where Sarah Conner was shooting at the t-1000 was repeated including someone in the helicopter firing at the van with an UZI. If you had't seen T:2 before I suppose you could be mistaken for this film having decent special effects. Anyway if you have nothing to do apart from get intoxicated and laugh at really terrible films I recommend this one highly 1/10 laugh factor a good 8/10

I cannot understand why a movie production would put money in behind such a terrible storyline and terrible idea. I have seen films that pay homage to the great monsters of our time but this just rips that to pieces. Bram Stoker honestly will be rising to kill Steven Sommers in a fit to some how right the wrong that was this movie. I am sick to death of films being made purely to make money. This was in noway a good film. It was not slick, no sophistication that usually accompanies vampire movies. I could not take Dracula seriously, there was a comic relief monk. I strongly recommend avoiding this movie for the purposes of trying to put stop to Hollywood cheese. The ending was pitiful with Jackman looking into the clouds seeing Beckinsale's character uniting with her family, is this type of cheese really necessary, brutality is what was needed especially when dealing with the vampire of all vampires Dracula. Sommers has destroyed the story in every sense. There really is only one thing i can say had any substance in this movie and that was the special effects and they should not have been wasted on a film such as this. I seriously hope that the monster movies as a genre have not disappeared. I would love to see a more serious approach being taken towards them, maybe this is the movie that could change things, if movie directors are as disgusted with this as I am maybe it is possible, I'm looking for a solid monster movie from maybe someone like Peter Jackson to restore the genre to its former glory.
