Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

John Doe This movie was soooo bad and I had to sit through the whole thing. The story is long and dull, don't see this.I give Dracula Untold a 2/10

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2014 and directed by Gary Shore, "Dracula Untold" tells the origin of Dracula: In the 15th century Prince Vlad the Impaler (Luke Evans) must protect his small kingdom of Wallachia (in modern-day Romania) from a Turk warlord (Dominic Cooper) who demands a thousand boys from Wallachia & Transylvania, including Vlad's son. Threatened by the unsurmountable Turk army, Vlad desperately makes a dubious pact with a formidable caged vampire in order to acquire its dark powers and save his family & kingdom. Sarah Gadon plays Vlad's winsome wife.The producers flirted with the idea of "Dracula Untold" being part of Universal's Dark Universe; and the epilogue of the movie, set in the modern world, suggests this, insinuating a franchise. This idea was dropped, however, and "The Mummy" (2017) became the first official film in the Dark Universe. In any case, "Dracula Untold" was fairly successful at the Box Office, making $56.3 million in North America and $217.1 million worldwide against a cost of $70 million.My title blurb pretty much tells you all you need to know: "Dracula Untold" is basically the dark Superman of 15th century Eastern Europe where Dracula wields the power to defeat a thousand-man army. If you like the great prologue to Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992), you'll probably like this movie, which gives several nods to that forerunner.The film LOOKS awesome and has a fine cast. But unlike "Bram Stoker's Dracula," it's rapidly paced and doesn't leave much room to breathe; so the characterizations aren't quite deep enough. It's good, but somehow hollow and forgettable. "Bram Stoker's Dracula" was perhaps a little too slow while "Dracula Untold" is too hurried. I wish the creators found the happy medium between the two because, with just a little bit more time and attention to detail, it could've been great.THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour, 32 minutes and was shot entirely in Northern Ireland. WRITERS: Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.GRADE: B

beorhouse Why don't we make films that are only visually pleasing? Who really cares about historical or linguistic accuracy? Why not completely rewrite history and turn the misanthrope and mass murderer Vlad Tepes into an inquisitive if commanding, gentle if repentant good guy--things that no historical accounts ever written about the man ever reveal. Attention to detail must be something long gone for the sake of the lowest common viewer. Case in point, the monk Vlad visits is dressed in a Western habit, but the Wallachians were not Roman Catholic, they were Orthodox. Can't seem too oriental for the average joe who gluts on Horror films peopled with monks dressed in brown robes, right? Take a pass on this one. I did.

Glenys Forrester Just loved this Dracula movie - being a Dracula buff both the fictional & Vlad The Impaler, and knowing the myths and legends and stories etc etc, I thought that this tied all the historical (fact and or fictional)and also Bram Stokers novel together (with Vlad meeting Mina at the end of the movie) really well as to how Dracula may have "began". Yes it is not that historically accurate but, then how many movies are and this is not a documentary - it is a work of fiction.I enjoyed watching it so much have gone and bought the DVD. I thought both Luke Evans and Dominic Cooper were excellent choices and loved Charles Dance as the first "Dracula". The movie is exciting and well paced and I certainly was not wanting to get up and miss any of it. Even my son and teenage grandson enjoyed it and they are both more into movies like fast and furious or Bruce Willis type action films, but even they sat glued to it and it is certainly not a real blood and guts gory type movie either. Loved every minute of it.
