@ThomasWake-k9j I feel like for me the issue was the characters werent super compelling and the plot was very predictable. Even with the twist end. I have also seen a million versions of dracula. Visually it was a 12 out of 10. Story wise, it was kind of a yawn.
@@JessicaPavone-r2l Yeah, because it wasn't a plot-driven story, like the original wasn't.No one of Eggers' films are plot-driven, they are theme-driven. The conclusion is there visible from the start - it's all got to do with what esoteric transformation the character which undergo to achieve the point they must, expressed through motifs.
I didn’t love the movie, but I was pretty surprised to see at least 4 people get up and leave the theater, but ig nobody wanted to see Nosferatu go at it with Lily Rose Depp 😂
@Charliehund100 that's just your opinion, everyone is entitled to it. But Majority says it's far above average according to audience reviews. Letterboxd for example
If you like slow pace gothic vampire films you'll probably like this adaptation of Nosferatu. The 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracula should have been called Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula. That film is the second most faithful adaptation of the Dracula novel while still deviating from the novel in big ways particularly with Dracula being portrayed as a sympathetic monster and the Dracula/Mina romance. The most faithful adaptation being the British made-for-television film Count Dracula which was released in 1977.
I’ll have to rewatch this on streaming. Loved certain aspects of the film but just okay with other stuff. Felt like they could trim this down by 15 minutes and been better for it. Cinematography was great!
@@jakedizzle There’s a great John Waters quote that comes to mind here, “I believe if you come out of a movie and the first thing you say is, ‘The cinematography was beautiful,’ it’s a bad movie.”
7:23 Nosferatu is indeed an adaptation of Dracula! The wife of Bram Stoker successfully sued the makers of the original for copyright infringement and they were ordered to destroy all prints of the film... luckily they didn't listen.
The first 30 or so minutes they had me hooked. Basically when Nicholas got out of the castle, the movie turned into a snore fest,were not much happened. I liked the cast, sound design, visuals, but it needed a better Orlock and better kills. I wish the ending was more like fright night. Besides drinking blood, this movie did not feel like Dracula. Just some normal guy with no powers who had Kristen's powers from ANOES3. It was a let down.
Don't be fake or a liar, because this film is an opera of pure horror with a bloody erotic tone, meticulously orchestrated with dazzling perfection and very well orchestrated Majestically impeccable in every detail photography art direction story characters soundtrack, absolutely everything
@@brunogoncalves1879 it was too slow..ppl walked out of my theater.ppl fell asleep.. visually beautiful and world building..after he left the cast it was slow..and stayed slowed..all the way up to the end.
I wouldnt call it a snooze fest but yea it was overhyped. The main villain is literally just a physically powerful coomlord whose downfall was his desire to cuck the husband. This fact just make him less intimidating and therefore the horror a lot less there.
I had no expectations and was really dissappointed. I didn't realize how I would have wanted it to look until seeing this verdion hit all the wrong beats
My take away was it is high camp masquerading as high art . It’s so very British it’s so very serious it’s so very ridiculous . It’s like Eggars was desperate to make a Merchant-Ivory film but in his style .
@@CineFanatique that’s cuz the director wanted to stay close to the original atmosphere of silent movie with added folk themes (Eggert’s fav element). It is not in style of traditional Hollywood horror of the past 2-3 decades by all means.
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, thanks for your review! May I ask where you got your fantastic cryptkeeper behind you? That looks fantastic.
Every new big film is overhyped in a certain way. Usually I am not going to cinema during a hype. I watch the movies at home, alone, in a calm atmosphere.
Ellen and warlock's backstory needed more flushing out. The whole thing with the contracts being signed and all that was flimsy to me. And there was absolutely no vampire slanying whatsoever, her husband was basically useless. I thought they were rallying up the boys to go do some slang and it was so anti-climactic for me when they did nothing
It is a 5/10 movie, and then i'm being nice. It was Nowhere near the masterpiece people say it is. Thought it was gonna be way scarier but was mostly love drama, the mustache on orlok just makes him look silly. Had high hopes but it fell below low sadly.
Was ok….the beginning was really boring, and very random jumping around. The second half definitely got better, but everything is dark and grim right from the beginning. They never give you a chance to get to know Depps character, she’s off the reservation as the movie starts. Movies don’t like to set things up anymore. The reviews from the last few weeks were almost all very positive, yet now the actual audiences are very lukewarm. Wonder why those early reviews seem to be all very positive
Agreed, clearly lots of money and expertise went into the making of this one but personally found it a bit boring. Admittedly, I’m not drawn to vampire movies and was not familiar with the lore behind this one beforehand.
Over 100 years old BUT this is what needs remake and revisions. Not halloweens every few years and black xmas 3 times. The great ones are the old ones. Half the older kids that went to this prob didnt even watch the 22 version
I agree this movie is way too slow. People were actually walking out the theater I was in. One of the women that walked out was dressed in costume…..let that sink in. Aaron Taylor-Johnson was a horrible casting decision. He was so bad in this movie. I don’t know what the casting directors were thinking. I swear he couldn’t pronounce the German word for Mrs. which is Frau (half this movie takes place in a German town by the way.) He kept saying “fur” instead of “Frau” and it was driving me crazy!!! Did they not have a native German speaker to tell him that he isn’t pronouncing the word correctly or was Aaron so bad in this movie that they didn’t even try to correct him?
Just saw it and I thought it was really bad in pretty much every way possible. Bad writing. Bad acting. Felt like a low budget, idk if it was or not, but looked cheap. Few sets and reused the same sets randomly. Nothing made sense in the movie. It was corny to an absurd degree. Suddenly there’s randomly a plague (though that’s an invention and not part of the original story in any way) and so now there’s literal bodies in the streets? Cmon. But yet they have a next day funeral for others? What? What is actually good about this movie? I can think of anything. Even the moral of the story was changed and made worse. Nothing good about it, don’t waste your money.
They changed Orloks look big time, and for the worst, thumbs down for me on that, plus they did a total bait, and switch by not showing Orlok in the trailers, with way different better looking AI art of him, Orlok is about as scary as Burt Reynolds in Smoky, and the bandit lmao!
Original dracula had a huge mustache... they did away with it for all movie adaptations though for that stupid cLeAn look. Even if he had looked like a Lovecraftian horror... it still wouldn't have been "scary". People like to throw the word "scary" around a lot lol. Name one ACTUAL scary film in existence. 100% of the time, it will boil down to being "suspenseful", not scary.
@ apparently what ever I did smoke wasn’t good enough for me to fully enjoy it🤷🏾♂️Felt more like a Shakespearean love triangle than a monster movie. Dude wasn’t even scary & that goofy ass 1989 Hulk Hogan mustache pissed me off😭
@@SlicesUSAthats what I actually loved in the movie cuz I miss some Shakespearean in modern Hollywood, everything is so crazy the same template, no individuality unlike this movie. He looked weird true, but if you think for a second how a Romanian warlord undead for centuries would look like, most likely it’ll be this design instead of Gary Oldman or Robert Pattinson.
Ha! Yeah…. Since I am familiar with the silent film…. Felt super predictable….. just liked the craftsmanship of how the film got out together and the acting….. don’t understand what “spoilers” all those people who got early access were yapping about…. I will stick with Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Blacula myself!
Absolute pos! Long, boring and cheap duplicate of Bram Stokers masterpiece! Nosferatu just pukes, then dies at the end 😂 Nosferatu looks like a homeless burn victim with an 80's porn stache... I wait so long, only to be greatly disappointed. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Idk I loved it. Yes Nosferatu does not look like Brad Pitt or Edward from Twilight but if we cared to imagine how Vlad the Impaler turned undead would look like, most likely it’ll be the closest portrayal, he looks pretty damn Slavic minus the decay and crazy height.
I think you meant Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece film based on Bram Stoker's literature. Both movies are based on the same historic Bram Stoker work. As was the original Nosferatu from 1922.
Willen Dafoe’s character was the best in my opinion. I feel like it was the only character that had development. The film has very beautiful cinematography but I couldn’t feel anything coming from the characters. It looked goth but it lacked the old vampire obsession between Ellen & Orlok. Idk after the first half of the movie with the husband the movie felt a bit rushed. I definitely also expected it to be more scary.
Cuz they showed his coming on a ship, plagues and his mad servant it all took time. I wish they would take out the servant completely unnecessary plotline imo, Dafoe’s character was awesome but they way his screen time ended felt underwhelming- did he burn himself?
I think it’s overhyped. I enjoyed the vampire aspect of it that felt trippy and scary. But the movie feels often feels a freaky fantasy that’s boring and really has one-dimensional characters when you look at it. It’s like a new plate. Shiny but plain. (Outside of Skarsgard, he was dope)
it was predictable and boring (sigh) Just a Dracula knockoff. You can literally just think back to Bram Stokers Dracula and you know whats gonna happen. Orlok's design was goofy. big ass head with a weird little comb over situation and a stupid mustache (sigh) weird sex scenes as well. wish i could get my money back honestly. these kids today have no idea what a good horror movie is lol they think EVERYTHING is great for some reason....its weird.
Almost every moment was done better by the 1992 Bram Stokers Dracula. The only good aspects of this movie were the cinematography. Altogether super disappointing imo
I feel like a lot of the people in the comments are close minded when they don’t understand something. To say this is just another Dracula remake comes from the same ppl that look at the last scream movies and say “WOW that was fun and exciting” but it’s the same movie everytime😂this is far from just another remake, the world it builds and the characters within that world don’t resemble anyone of us in present day, it’s truly a different time (1833) and the acting is superb for Hollywood standards. Not scary but creepy and thrilling
I'm afraid this will be exactly like Francis Ford Coppola's version of Dracula. A bit obnoxious, super oversexualized for no reason and weird jump cuts. Haven't seen it yet, might not actually go see it in cinema at all...still not sure. Robert's films are overrated by default due to a cult following but some of them deserve the hype, some not so much. Thanks for keeping it grounded, I tend to skip reviews that are just purely hype and "can do no wrong" videos.
Oversexualized? The filmmakers have made it a point that the vampire fetish is not an element they wan to keep in this film. (Robert Eggers has stated multiple times that Count Orlok's character design is literally based on a corpse. Also, "The Sisters" story arc from the novel is entirely absent from the original Nosferatu film.) I sure hope they didn't inject sexuality into this movie.
@davewolf6256 I said Coppola's Dracula was oversexualized. I've not seen Nosferatu but have heard it has several solo sexual scenes, one reviewer saying he was surprised it went as far as it did, and that's why I said it's not like Dracula was.
@@davewolf6256 I said Dracula was oversexualized and since there are more than a few explicit solo scenes in Nosferatu (according to reviews) I mentioned I hope it isn't as bad as Dracula. Count Orlok's appearance has nothing to do with this.
Coppola’s version is my favorite. Even Keanu Reeves hilariously bad acting is part of its charms at this point. He was the weakest link in that film but overall it’s fantastic. There is actual humor in it, and Dracula feels terrifying.
Nosferatu fits squarely between The Shape of Water and Sleepy Hollow. Egger’s is still a newer director and needs to work on his writing chops as Del Toro and Lanthimos have.
Simply the best vampire movie with Dracula an ancient Vampire horror and gothic horror of all time absolutely impeccably magnanimous, chills the spine terrifying frightening a surprisingly bloody repulsive eroticism that brings a disgust then repugnant as dazzling A masterpiece of the seventh art, the best film of the year and the best horror film of the decade, I can absolutely assure you, 10 out of 10, photography, art, fun, narrative production Robert Eggers' direction, the acting of the characters, the actors and actresses, the mustache and beard of the perfect ancient Vampire Lord, deserves a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and deserves to win many Oscars, surpasses the Previously a trillion to zero, truly stupendous cinematic quality, and whoever disagrees with this cinephile who loves original films as perfect re-readings, who writes to you, explaining the best Personal taste of the world, you have to disagree, it's totally wrong, totally and mistaken
I love forevermore Dracula Untold, But this gothic horror film is actually infinitely better in terms of basically everything except action.Count Orlok Nosferatu By Robert Eggers
@@brunogoncalves1879 That movie can't touch Coppola's Dracula. Don't get me wrong Nosferatu is a masterpiece but it lacked a strong soundtrack. The soundtrack is ok. In contrast to Coppola's Dracula it has one of the greatest soundtracks in film history.
No offense but when you started drawing comparisons to Dracula in such a speculative manner, all I could think is how unimaginably ignorant for someone pretending to be a movie buff and critic. Credibility begins with deep knowledge.
lol. Never have I labeled myself a movie critic nor an expert. You also misheard me. I was simply asking the audience what they think about the parallels between the two movies. I have my own thoughts about whether or not Nosferatu is a rip-off or not. However, I wanted to hear what the community thought about it. Make sense? Or is that also "unimaginably ignorant"? Lmao
@ Well, that’s good that you don’t call yourself something you clearly are not. And defensiveness just proved my point. I heard your comments. It’s why I had to stop watching. There is no opinion about whether or not there is copyright infringement involved with Nosferatu and Dracula. There is only verifiable and well documented history of the facts. You clearly did not know what you were talking about. And that is seriously fine. Just own it and don’t back pedal and pretend you did. And “lmao” really? Communicate like a man. You’re clearly not laughing, you’re offended and defensive.
@ no, I don’t need a hug. I’m now just enjoying the irony of you “reviewing” and “criticizing” the art of filmmakers all the while being totally incapable of receiving criticism yourself. Thanks for that!
It is definitely not overhyped I saw it yesterday and it was absolutely one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.... What was overhyped wicked... Over long and boring
@@krpyton7368I agree. I enjoyed the film very much. If anything....the only thing that was expected was the original tale. The rest of the movie was very captivating i.e. cinematography and whatnot
If it's like Coppola's Dracula then yeah. But it's hard to find good reviews because Robert has a cult following of reviewers who will always say he can't do anything wrong.
The movie was phenomenal one of the best movies actually movie made in a long time. Fantastic obsessed want to see it again was a little annoyed that the big screens were reserved for the other movies Mufasa and sonic three this movie deserve to be on the big big screen
I loved it. I did expect it to be a bit more terrifying than what it was, but it was tense throughout.
You love garbage 🗑️ 😊
the original 1922 film was an unlicensed Dracula adaptation, F. W. Murnau was sued by Bram Stoker's widow and all copies banned until one resurfaced
Great visuals and aesthetic overhaul, but yeah Eggers clearly played it safe. I felt like it could have gone more unhinged and off the rails into total insanity but is likely impossible with a story as coveted as this

Also, "The Sisters" story arc from the novel is entirely absent from the original Nosferatu film.) I sure hope they didn't inject sexuality into this movie.
@davewolf6256 I said Coppola's Dracula was oversexualized. I've not seen Nosferatu but have heard it has several solo sexual scenes, one reviewer saying he was surprised it went as far as it did, and that's why I said it's not like Dracula was.
@@davewolf6256 I said Dracula was oversexualized and since there are more than a few explicit solo scenes in Nosferatu (according to reviews) I mentioned I hope it isn't as bad as Dracula. Count Orlok's appearance has nothing to do with this.
Coppola’s version is my favorite. Even Keanu Reeves hilariously bad acting is part of its charms at this point. He was the weakest link in that film but overall it’s fantastic. There is actual humor in it, and Dracula feels terrifying.
@@twistedelegance_it is not sexualized in the way of Dracula but there are 2 scenes in the movie that are kinda shocking and they are sex scenes.
It's overhyped to hell and back
It’s a great movie just for Skarsgard alone
Can I ask why it would be done on purpose, the theatrical acting. 6:02 anyone
so nosferatu was originally a hells angel.this movie was lame as fuck
Yes. I did not think it was a very good film.
I was really looking forward to hearing the film score to this but sadly was disappointed.
That’s interesting. I loved it beyond words.
More vampires
Walked out after 2 grueling hours of watching seizures and wooden acting. Sure some scenes were pretty, but the movie itself was garbage.
First movie I walked out and left mid watching in some time.
yeah. boring af

I did that with Evil Dead Rise, I spent too much cash on snacks to leave this one.
@@JustinGonestop talking about yourself.
@Ugh-r8m no, pay attention. I’m talking to TikTok brains. Hope this helps.
It sucked horrible movie
Ahhh, so THIS is where all the low standard moviegoers hating this movie are. 😂
Way better than any of the Dracula slop out there.
Nosferatu fits squarely between The Shape of Water and Sleepy Hollow. Egger’s is still a newer director and needs to work on his writing chops as Del Toro and Lanthimos have.
I wanted less Orlock. Less is more
Simply the best vampire movie with Dracula an ancient Vampire horror and gothic horror of all time absolutely impeccably magnanimous, chills the spine terrifying frightening a surprisingly bloody repulsive eroticism that brings a disgust then repugnant as dazzling A masterpiece of the seventh art, the best film of the year and the best horror film of the decade, I can absolutely assure you, 10 out of 10, photography, art, fun, narrative production Robert Eggers' direction, the acting of the characters, the actors and actresses, the mustache and beard of the perfect ancient Vampire Lord, deserves a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and deserves to win many Oscars, surpasses the Previously a trillion to zero, truly stupendous cinematic quality, and whoever disagrees with this cinephile who loves original films as perfect re-readings, who writes to you, explaining the best Personal taste of the world, you have to disagree, it's totally wrong, totally and mistaken
I love that you love this movie, but Dracula Untold is going to get many more watches from me and I found it's ancient vampire more intriguing.
@@brunogoncalves1879 I truly loved this film. I will bring seeing again if not a few more times before it leaves theaters.
Thank you very much indeed
I love forevermore Dracula Untold,
But this gothic horror film is actually infinitely better in terms of basically everything except action.Count Orlok Nosferatu By Robert Eggers
@@brunogoncalves1879 That movie can't touch Coppola's Dracula.
Don't get me wrong Nosferatu is a masterpiece but it lacked a strong soundtrack. The soundtrack is ok. In contrast to Coppola's Dracula it has one of the greatest soundtracks in film history.
No offense but when you started drawing comparisons to Dracula in such a speculative manner, all I could think is how unimaginably ignorant for someone pretending to be a movie buff and critic. Credibility begins with deep knowledge.
💯
lol. Never have I labeled myself a movie critic nor an expert. You also misheard me. I was simply asking the audience what they think about the parallels between the two movies. I have my own thoughts about whether or not Nosferatu is a rip-off or not. However, I wanted to hear what the community thought about it. Make sense? Or is that also "unimaginably ignorant"? Lmao
@ Well, that’s good that you don’t call yourself something you clearly are not. And defensiveness just proved my point. I heard your comments. It’s why I had to stop watching. There is no opinion about whether or not there is copyright infringement involved with Nosferatu and Dracula. There is only verifiable and well documented history of the facts. You clearly did not know what you were talking about. And that is seriously fine. Just own it and don’t back pedal and pretend you did. And “lmao” really? Communicate like a man. You’re clearly not laughing, you’re offended and defensive.
@@JamieRushing27 Need a hug?
@ no, I don’t need a hug. I’m now just enjoying the irony of you “reviewing” and “criticizing” the art of filmmakers all the while being totally incapable of receiving criticism yourself. Thanks for that!
I loved this movie infinitely, completely, personally perfect.
It is definitely not overhyped I saw it yesterday and it was absolutely one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.... What was overhyped wicked... Over long and boring
lol
Not to be that guy (🤓), but you clealry dont understand the source material 😂
This guy doesn't seem like he understands much of anything tbh
Due explain more how he doesn't
I seen it opening day I loved it
Pretentious and boring. It was nothing new or different. Same story, same dance.
yup. YAWN
@@CaptZapBrenigan you have horrible taste
@@krpyton7368I agree. I enjoyed the film very much. If anything....the only thing that was expected was the original tale. The rest of the movie was very captivating i.e. cinematography and whatnot
Lol it's a remake.
If it's like Coppola's Dracula then yeah. But it's hard to find good reviews because Robert has a cult following of reviewers who will always say he can't do anything wrong.
Amazing film, disregard this unwarranted criticism and go watch it in theater.
There’s nothing amazing about it.
The movie was phenomenal one of the best movies actually movie made in a long time. Fantastic obsessed want to see it again was a little annoyed that the big screens were reserved for the other movies Mufasa and sonic three this movie deserve to be on the big big screen
lol
Becuase the movie was mid at best
No where near that
