I agree with you on Keeneu doing a terrible British accent and giving a very bad performance, but everything else I must disagree on. I thought Hopkins did a wonderful job as Van Helsing and demonstrates his versatility by playing a role so unlike his previous one (The Silence of the Lambs). Not sure what you mean when you say Hopkins was drunk most of the time. Unless that impedes his performance, I really don't see how that makes the movie worse. While it is public knowledge that Oldman and Wynona did not get along, I do not think it impacts the performances, because I think Ryder is miscast and not especially good in the movie. Oldman did a decent job and made Dracula a more sympathetic villain.
