Very disappointing

I love horror movies, including vampire movies. I also love the Dracula novels. But this movie was such a big disappointment:

1). The movie is too dark. Obviously, they needed nighttime for the vampire villain, naturally; and they felt darkness would increase the horror. But the darkness in this film was more annoying in the sense that I had trouble seeing what was happening

2). The dracula in this movie looks like some B-level generic gargoyle instead of the scary intimidating iconic vampire

3). The movie just had to be woke by inserting a never-do-wrong minority protagonist who challenges the racial prejudice of his time (there is scene where he tries to fight one of the white shipmates who uses a racial slur). I'm not averse to minority castings or racial equality obviously, but they should be faithful to the source material. This sort of racial commentary has nothing to do with Dracula

4). The plot moves too slowly. The movie probably could have trimmed about 15-20 mins
