Why is Mina Harker in this film? She's not a gentleman. I've never seen the film because my sisters said it was boring. They also told me that she was a vampire, but when Dracula died didn't Mina return to normal?

I just saw it for the first time yesterday. It was sooo good, I loved Dorion Gray. He is so mighty fine.

I thought it was a pretty good movie. Not the best one ever, and not necessarily very true to the comics, but it was good. I'd explain the bomb thing, but I've completely forgotten what happened. I forget the reason they have for Mina being in a league of gentlemen (probably something like that she was just as capable of the rest of them). But, was she completely back to normal after Dracula died, or was it just assumed and no one knew for sure? Was it actually stated in the book?

I just said who I beleived to be the woman because go ehr to get into the League of Extraodinary Gentlemen. And Shane West is cute. I would have probably seen this movie but some poeple I know said it was terrible and I don't like Shane West enough to sit through it.

You should find a way to see it, Pandora. It's worth seeing at least once, especially if you can find someone to borrow it from or something like that.

FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SANITY, DO NOT SEE THE MOVIE. Go buy volume one of the comics instead. Volume one soundly trounces the movie. Volume two was just crazy, I didn't read all of it.
But anyway, my vote goes to Skinner, since we're using the movie characters. Dorian Gray is my favorite literary character, but he was so incredibly inaccurate (i.e. he was straight) that it really ruined the character for me. The entire thing where he absorbed the bullet holes was cool though.

In Dracula, Van Helsing said that if they kill the vampire form of Lucy Westenra, the children she bit would return to normal. So I assume it is the same with Mina and the Count.

Proving how shallow I am, I will rent this movie just for Stuart Townsend. My dad wants to see it so we can watch it together.

At least Alan Moore got his movie cash for this clunker.

None of the guys I watched this movie with even knew the characters were from books... except the Jekell/Hyde character. For me it was like having 5 stories I really enjoyed all mixed together. The two things I really hated were, 1 the way they portrayed Dorian ; 2 they all did not die. I like anarchy. But , I didn't know they had comics of this, and since the first one sounds so good, I think I'll have to go look into it.
