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.

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!

It was a movie about Dracula but not from the horror perspective, instead the film maker inserted stories based on myths and a little bit of history in this movie. In my opinion it was more like an action film than a horror flick, but overall this was a good movie and really entertained to see. The moral story of this movie is family should always comes first,no matter the circumstances.Familia siempre viene primero.

True, its loosely based on Vlad The Impaler, but Luke Evans and the story thanks to the incredible writers will have you rooting for Dracula. And if that is not enough, the special effects are flawless and filled with plenty of action, packed into a beautiful package. Considering the fact that Vlad was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, I have to say that this story which is closer to the real events in history (Minus the blood sucking vampire part) is a much more entertaining experience as the Bram Stoker version has been done and re-done multiple times. Quite honestly I am ecstatic that i didn't see a face with excessive foundation to give it that pale-vamp-twilight look!Its a shame that this was a big box office hit, considering all the trash that climbs over the Billion dollar returns these days. I really hope they come out with a sequel to this soon. My Review is a perfect 10/10
