Carlos vs. Bela? I'm just comparizing two characterizations. I'm not attacking Bela personally. His characterization is more "theatral" (sp?), and Villarias is a movie actor. It's just a question of personal taste in THIS movie. Generally, I love stage actors in movies. But I just prefer Carlos to Bela, in "Dracula".
Yeah, that's your opinion - and you're entitled to it.  There's no accounting for taste.

But "the rest of the cinematic world" is already convinced at 85% at least that the Hispanic Dracula is better than the US version. As I already wrote, America is not the center of the universe and I really don't know anybody preferring the Browning version among all the people I personnally know and who are not Americans.

 In your dreams, Jean Claude!  Would you care to back up that percentage by citing a source?  Or did you just pull a number out of thin air to suit your needs?  It's a rhetorical question... we already know the answer.
