Starts with a major disadvantage, coming in the wake of a century-old classic and a remake that was a classic in its own right, but it's Eggers–it's guaranteed to be interesting and virtually guaranteed to be good.

Saw it today. There were some things here that I really liked, but some things didn't completely work for me. The cinematography was excellent. Costumes and production design were great and the score was a standout as well. Performances were hit and miss. I liked Willem Dafoe best, but thought Nicholas Hoult fell a little flat. I was expecting more out of Bill Skarsgård. Everyone else was mostly fine. The story wasn't always engaging though and the film felt overlong. They could have cut 20 minutes from it easily. Some scenes felt like that went on too long, but other scenes felt too quick. There were a couple really effective moments though. A mixed bag (or maybe a mixed coffin?), but still worth watching. 7/10

What did you think about it compared to the original?
I appreciated that they stuck to not romanticizing vampires while he retained an element of the regal and resemblance to the images of Vlad Tepes, and they preserved, for lack of a better word, embodying the death and decay.
I also liked the lilacs.

What I don't get is him willingly going to his death. Did he do it because he was tired of immortality?
I mean he wouldn't do it out of love for humanity.

I don't see it that way. Because Willem Dafoe character mentioned how the girls Blood was different.
And that only her being with him could put an end to Nosferatu and his plague/curse.
Surely a creature who is centuries old also knew of the girls power or ability to destroy him.
Maybe I was just too tired and not paying attention to some of the subtitles.

I would like to see it, but will wait until the streaming price goes down. Right now can only see it on Prime for $19.99 plus tax. I can wait. Same with Wicked.

Absolutely loved this one. Great gloomy-doomy mood and Nosferatu was such a goddamn ****ing hideous beast who's nothing but pure evil and unappeasable appetite. Extra points for that tragically heroic ending. 9 out of 10 from me.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
