1. The love story.
2. The intro.
3. The failed surreal-like images.
4. The unnecessary usage of old-school cinematic trickery instead of CGI.
5. Keanu.
6. The lack (of even a slight) realistic approach.
7. The fact that Dracula's hair looked like a GIANT GRAY A$$.

I have to agree with you on Keanu, but the rest? How is a lack of realistic approach a bad thing, when the director isn't going for a realistic approach? Also, the effects in Dracula would've been impossible to do in CG in 1992, and I think it's great that Coppola made sure that most effects were actually done in camera. It made special effects actually seem special.
