Vlad l'impalatore

Fanciful complete inversion of history; depicting Ottoman invaders as noble and good, and Romanian defenders of their land as evil. The acting is as stilted as you'll ever see, too bad to even be comical. The pacing, action and plot flow is confusing and choppy, lacking any continuity. Not worth the time of even a free viewing.

Now take that skewed perspective and substitute the African slaves with the defendind Romanians and the Americans with the Ottoman Empire. How exactly is this movie accurate and where is the reality and truth of history I don't know. What is more surprising is that in the age of technology and social media someone thought that a movie like this is suppose to bring sympathy towards Turkey.

Talk about sore losers, sore losers till the end, even 500 years later. At least those that put this movie and this version of history on a pedestal.

Neo-ottoman propaganda movie where Turkish invaders are the good guys and Romanians who defend their own country are the bad guys. It looks good though and if you can forget about its complete historical inaccuracy it's an enjoyable movie.

I regret to say that this movie is so superficially made and lacking historical accuracy that I could hardly stand to watch it till the end as a Turk. You can clearly see the abuse of viewers' interest in historical movies. The subject matter and the title arouse interest but content is terrible. A good way to waste your 2 hours.

I guess one has to be Turkish to fully enjoy this movie 😏 The story had potential for a lot more but sadly it was a big disappointment.
