Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Michael Ledo Luke Evans gives us a different type of Dracula, one I didn't expect. The childhood of Vlad is read to us. Vlad becomes the reluctant monster in order to have the strength to save his people from the Turks who are demanding 1,000 boys in addition to the tribute. Vlad enters into "the immortal game of revenge" to turn him into Uma Thurman on steroids.I enjoyed the set up and the initial battle. The film slowed after that until the ending fight scenes which were anti-climatic at that point.And what was that with vampires and silver? Silver is for werewolves. That made the whole film unbelievable.No F-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Trey Yancy Without exception this is the best Dracula movie ever. The story is great, as is the character development. The acting, direction, FX, and everything else is truly fantastic. Unlike every other vampire movie ever, this is an intelligent movie that tells a meaningful story. Its purpose is not to be a horror story, but a story of honor, self-sacrifice, and commitment. This is a Vlad Dracul that you can respect and admire. He is portrayed (albeit with some liberties) as a human being dealing with extraordinary circumstances. While the ending returns us to familiar territory, this is a guy that you can't help rooting for. If there ever were a direct sequel, I could see it completely rewriting the original. As with Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, you want the antihero to destroy that which threatens him. I bought this film, first as DVD and later as on iTunes. It is a movie that the intelligent viewer - the person interested in a genuine story and not just done-to-death garbage - should buy and watch again and again. Young viewers in their twenties may disagree, as they tend to favor action-packed gore-fests and as they are not as well versed in the history and events of the period, and particularly those who have ever put their lives on the line for their principles, this removes a lot of the substance. But for those who like a good story backed up by an excellent production, Dracula Untold is the absolutely definitive telling of the tale - told as it should have been from the start.

vampyra-20168 A great movie. Not the traditional story, but a great one.

qmtv I'm a huge fan of horror films. Nosferatu the original silent movie was great. Dracula with Bela Lugosi was great in the beginning then goes into soap opera boring nonsense. Bela Lugosi was great! Dracula with Christopher Lee is garbage. The best part of those movies is the fashion of the sets, the cinematography and music. Sorry to break it to my fellow horror fans, but Christopher Lee sucked. Go check out his first Dracula movie. His best part is when he first appears, walks down the stairs, just before he opens his mouth. The costume and stance is great. Then he opens his mouth and what do we get? A British accent on Dracula! And his dialogue? Something about cataloging his library. His freaking LIBRARY!!! Then we movie onto Frances Copala's Dracula. Gary Oldman is a great actor. He did an amazing job portraying Dracula, especially in the beginning as Vlad III. The music was great. The screenplay and acting was trash. Keanu, Winona, Silence of the Lame actor, all suck. And the comedy! What's with the comedy? So, there we have it. Nosferatu was the best Dracula. That was a horror movie. The rest, cheese. I only saw a few minutes of the remake of Nosferatu, but I realized soon after watching that it was a poor production by a bunch of armatures.Now, we have Dracula Untold. It should have not been told. First, I saw this movie awhile ago. But what I remember is the main actor with that stupid British accent. Why not give Dracula a Hindu accent, or French accent. Why British. At least with a French accent we would be entertained. It would be like Peter Sellers Dracula. That would be entertaining. But no, we have another British Dracula. No Bela Lugosi here.The events of what I remember of this pile of garbage has nothing to do with Vlad III, or the vampire Dracula. They used the name Vlad, and Dracula to concoct another film, built around some action scenes with fast edits. The story is garbage. The acting is trash. If you don't care about a decent story, or decent acting and just want to sit back and watch a bunch of fast edit fight scenes and flashy camera work and cgi then this may be for you. Or go watch the next Avengers or Thor or Wonder Woman or Farce Awakens. They are all the same movie. It's just candy. Go ahead eat it. It's bad for you. But it tastes so good. Keep buying it and they'll keep feeding you this garbage.Now if you like this movie, you may not have enough patience to watch a silent movie like Nosferatu. That is the real shame here. One should understand that movies, like all media, are a reflection of our culture. Give the audience candy, keep them dumb, and they'll keep coming back for more.God help us, everyone!
