This movie doesn't let you see Dracula, it's more from the point of view of those he affects, though Mina and Jonathan Harker are not included. The story isn't a new telling but the multiple 1 star reviews on this movie show that obviously none of them have ever seen a truly bad movie. It wasn't the best Dracula movie I've ever seen, but I was entertained and felt the acting was actually good. The overall rating of 3.5 is absolutely ridiculous and completely unfounded.

I have walked out of three movies in my lifetime and sad to say, this movie was the third. I was hoping the movie would be an amazing action filled sequel but I could not believe the vulgarity in this movie. Having Salma Hayek being disgusting with EVERY sentence she uttered was shocking. I saw a few action scenes and it seemed all they cared about was killing as many people in as gory a way as possible. So pissed I gave my money to this film.

The movie begins well, centering on an obviously spoiled, eccentric woman and her adult, dependent son. It then goes on to follow them through the loss of their fortune and how they must rely on the kindness of a friend. Incredible and completely unbelievable situations occur before the movie finally ends, with a lack of ANY finality. I can't fault the acting, Michelle Pfeiffer does an amazing job as always and the rest of the cast is quite convincing in their roles. It appears to be the writing that is at fault. Are we TRULY to believe that a neighbor and a local private investigator can't stay in their own abodes and must move in with the main characters? And the whole idea about Pfeiffer's dead husband inhabiting a stray cat she ends up taking in, then TALKING to him via a medium is just ridiculous at best. I don't know if it was the director's intention to make us dislike Pfeiffer's character but the way she treats others and her utter lack of compassion for her own son is disturbing.

I really wanted to like this movie but when there was no conclusion at the end and it just faded to black, I would've thrown my popcorn bucket at the screen if I'd bought any. I'm sure many will like this movie, calling it quirky and inventive but I'm sorry, this was a movie that relied too much on it's main cast members to carry a sadly lacking script.

I'll begin with I LOVED Kaley Cuoco as Penny on The Big Bang Theory. She has good comedic timing and her acting is passable, but taking on this character was a big stretch for her and she failed miserably. I read this book and actually cared about the main character. She was real to me and her plight was actually terrifying at times. I don't know if it was Kaley's acting or the director's suggestions of how she portray Cassie that are at fault but I lasted three episodes and realized, I didn't CARE what happened to her. I think this would've been a better interpretation of the book had they chosen someone like Theresa Palmer or. Alice Eve as the protagonist, but Kaley Cuoco was just out of her depth.

As I began watching the film, I couldn't understand why English/American actors had been chosen over German/Austrian actors. I couldn't even take the story seriously because I was so stuck on the accents! It's a great story overall but I'd rather read the book where my mind doesn't have to hear English speaking actors being a willingly part of the Holocaust. Feel free to use English actors when the subject is fantastic, but when it's historical, have some respect for the actual facts and use the proper actors to convey the story

I absolutely LOVED the first season of The Sinner. I thought it well written, perfectly cast and a wonderful twist to keep me wondering through each episode. Season 2, while not as good as the first, still held my interest. I enjoyed getting to know Pullman's character more. Sadly, I couldn't even finish the third season and not sure I'll go back for a fourth. I thought the story was ridiculous and while Matt Bomer is very pleasant to look at, I would never call him a great dramatic actor. Maybe it's just me, but I was not pleased with this latest season and can't decide if I'll try the next.

I've seen all of the actors in other movies before and I wasn't disappointed to see them now, but I cannot get by the fact that everyone in this movie was completely selfish. I watch movies to escape real life, the last thing I need to see is people being horrible to each other and claiming to actually love them while doing it. What a depressing state if this is how Hollywood sees us

I really don't understand the dislike for this movie. I enjoyed the back story, superimposed over the beginning of the conflict on the train. Eastwood shows us how these boys lifestyles contributed to putting them in the perfect frame of mind and experiences to thwart this particular attempt at terror. I've seen people commenting on their acting abilities but honestly, I thought they did better than some people who actually call themselves actors. Eastwood and these three men did a great job with an amazing story and I was very glad I took the chance on it
