Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

LadyBeth10 The one thing that really made this movie was Luke Robert's Dracula. Hey I can take a blonde Dracula when he's that freaking gorgeous and such a fine actor. His performance elevated the movie which kind of played out like a graphic novel. I'm really watching out for him. Hope someone snaps him up for a hit role fast. He showed a lot of range in this role, and he's totally hot! Reminds me a lot of Gerard Butler. A lot of the story was well fleshed out analogy wise. Like Wes Craven's Dracula 2000, it played out biblical themes of sin and redemption. I don't think Bram Stoker had any idea of the Pandora's box he was opening up. Can you believe that this one little horror novel has spawned so much historical extrapolation, inner exploration of what is truly good, and what is truly evil, and of course that old axiom: Love conquers all. If you really understand the symbols, Dracula is but one of Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With a Thousand Faces." Watched it twice, will probably watch it again. Absolutely LOVE Luke Roberts!! He's a star waiting to be plucked. And let's be real okay, those old Hammer Dracula films also had Cover Girl worthy vampire chicks too, complete with false eyelashes, but we still love 'em. Give me a break!

AngryZombie808 The title describe how bad the acting are and how clueless & dumb these actor looks like in the movie. Even the movies by The Asylum have better acting & story writing than these film. The movie is on low budget, no doubt about that so I will put that aside and review it as a low budget film instead of the big ones.To tell the truth, if you expect an action-packed movie about vampire slayer, then you will be disappointed with how crappy the choreography is. The fighting scene are so bad that I rather label it as romantic/fantasy than an action/fantasy. But the story is quite unique in the way it tries to explore the human side of the vampire rather than just focusing on the evil side. An of course there are romantic part of it that I found more enjoyable to watch rather than the rest of the movie.To summarize it, watching this movie feels like putting a knife on my stomach, stab it in and slicing my stomach open as I make a horizontal cut. I've never committed seppuku before, but after watching this movie I know how it feels like.I give 3 star because the romantic part of it are convincing, the story are unique compared to other vampire movie and lastly because the actress who play Alina is hot.

UnderworldRocks Pathetic! What a mess! Irritating and painful to watch.As silly as Francis Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula.Even Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne 1 & 2 are better than this.Where to begin? The plot is so boring that it's tough to get through the very first 3 minutes. This largely clichéd opening even attempts to imitate Francis Coppola's unworthy work.A century later...The retarded minions jump like spider monkeys.Surprise! The little thief leader wields this ugly-ass piece of wood they call "lightbringer", the ultimate weapon that will kick Dracula's ass.Thus comes the first crusade of Dracula by a bunch of losers.The whole thing is laughable.It won't help even if the audience is willing to give this crap a chance.It simply doesn't have anything intriguing to offer.......The only few decent things about this film include the light music used during the scene of romance, the costume, the set designs, and a few good lines ("God has the power to create life. I prevent Him from taking life away.").Pathetic! If only all those advantages, all the effort of making this unworthy crap could be used for creating a decent film about Vlad the Impaler!

CountVladDracula Review written as I watch: Okay, so I'm watching Dracula The Dark Prince. No, not the good one from 2000 starring Rudolf Martin or even the Hammer film called Dracula: Prince of Darkness. This shares the name of the Rudolf Martin film but that is a far superior movie.In here we have a blond Fobio-esque Dracula. The opening is a crude reenactment of the opening of the Gary Oldman movie. The problem I have with it is he renounces God after finding out his own men killed his wife. Why? Why renounce God? It makes no sense here. No one said she was damned.It's Leonardo Van Helsing. A Medieval / early Renaissance (though this looks more Dark Ages) Van Helsing... No wonder there are idiots out there who think Van Helsing defeated Dracula in the middle ages instead of the 1890s.Renfield is an intelligent councilor of the kingdom. Dracula ruled a Principality you morons. It's in your Title DARK PRINCE! The 2000 film with Rudolf Martin... Where for art thou, Rudolf?! Your film of the same name was actually good! I got used to Dracula as a blond in Dracula: The Series (90s version) because I figured he had adapted to look Yuppie-esque. There's no reason for him to be a blonde here yet it looks like they actually went out of their way to make him blond, not that it was just the actor's natural color, but that they went out of their way for it.NBC's Dracula is suddenly looking good..."There is word of slayers" seriously? This sounds like a bad role playing game gone wrong.I'm glad he has the mobile shadow but why does it have wings? I guess to show he's "demonic". Oooh! Because, you know, being an immortal blood sucker who can shapeshift and control the weather just isn't enough these days.The Light Bringer is the cane from the Cain and Abel story? "It was used to slay the innocent and so it was transformed into God's weapon." How does that even make sense?! God was angry about Abel's death. Why would he grant the weapon that did it powers? And Dracula is descended from Abel now because you know they had to trump Dracula 2000 deciding he was Judas somehow. What's next? Dracula is Adam? No, he's Satan himself! Seriously, why can't Dracula just be Dracula? Why do they keep having to add religion to the idea of an immortal war lord? Why does the man Leonardo VAN HELSING have an Italian accent? An Italian with a Dutch name in ...fifteen hundreds? His accent... it's inconsistent. It hurts.Why is it every cliché movie and books make the mysterious West wing? Beauty and the Beast, Jane Eyre, Dark Shadows (TV series) and now this.(Confused) Van helsing from Italy has a tricorner hat. WHAT YEAR IS THIS!?? They gave Dracula's wife the name Erzsébet like Elizabeth Bathory or perhaps the name they used for his first wife used in the Gary Oldman movie (her real name was lost to history, only the second wife's name is remembered).So... Our young male hero (not Leonardo Van Helsing) is a thief because he's descended from Cain and all descendents of Cain are doomed to be criminals. How does that even make sense? And Dracula is descended from Abel so they are destined to kill each other. ...Seriously?! Oh, God, isn't this over yet? ...I have an hour left.The Light Bringer (the weapon that killed Abel) and can now only do good can only be used by a descendant of Cain even though they are... predestined to be criminals. This doesn't make sense. And yet again, Dracula is descended from the innocent one, Abel. Shouldn't this be reversed? Well, the three female vampires are trying to seduce Alina (the apparent reincarnation of Dracula's wife even though it looks like we're no more than ten years after her death!)."Slayers do not drink alcohol" yet the Demon Slayer village is heavily stocked with booze and has a tavern, where Leonardo Van Helsing has to take the bottle away from our hero in training...And a wench had to be sent back with another bottle of alcohol...Nosferatu in this means to be only half-turned into a vampire and to suffer. And means "unclean." Nosferatu means unfinished vampire?! No, call that a dhampir or if it must be so bad, then ghoul, don't do that to the word Nosferatu!! Nosferatu in the Dracula novel was used to mean "not dead" which just means VAMPIRE! Period. Dracula called himself a Nosferatu. ...My poor head. Why change what Nosferatu means?!Dracula just bit his wrist and I realize he's supposed to be pouring blood on his wounded man but though I can HEAR it pouring there's no blood. Someone ACTUALLY forgot the computer generated blood in this scene! It just looks like he's holding his wrist and shaking it every so often over this guy as his wounds miraculously heal but it was clear he bit his wrist. They actually forgot to add the blood in post production.Dario Argento's Dracula 3D is better than this.Why does the holy relic / weapon make static noises? The Dracula actor isn't that bad, I can tell he's doing all he can with this mess.What a surprise (sarcasm) that it was Renfield that killed the princess all along. ...Why was a Romanian named Renfield? When Renfield gets stabbed in the neck he tips his head back and screams before it even hits him.Alina's fingerless gloves are obviously modern...I think I am fully prepared for the NBC version now, which I was already dreading...
