Never trust a Dracula movie again. Pick up the book instead. They are two completely different entities. After having read the source material, I can not honestly think of a single honest adaptation.

On the book itself? A little heavy, this was actually the third attempt at reading it. I enjoy the structure of the book, formed as a series of letters, journal entries and notes to give the image of a body of proof providing a timeline of events. The writing style seems a little over-God indulgent though, as though Stoker was desperately trying to prove something.

The scene involving the three temptresses though is pure porn from the neck up.

Really very little story involving Dracula himself. Most of the story revolves around the other characters in the plot pursuing Dracula, and the big guy gets very little stage time. Does it matter? Not really, but it defies expectations.
