I liked that they put Dracula in modern times rather than sticking him in the Victorian era. Also, I really dug the way they tied in the Bible into his origin story and made it believable. Plus, you can never go wrong with Gerard Butler.

While the movie itself is typical horror/action fare, its take on Dracula's origin is rather novel. They should have made a sequel that focused on that.
