Dracula Untold

When I first saw this advertised on tv it got me intrigued however I left it nearly 10 years to watch unfortunately I lost out on the hype of this movie. I really enjoyed this movie, it had a lot of action and some decent battle scenes. I do think Luke Evans played a great lead role and really made himself powerful in the role, however I do think a lot of the side character's were pretty bland, and useless although I understand why they had to be there. I did like Charles Dance as the main vampire who gives Dracula his powers I thought he played the role Great like all of his roles. I would recommend as a stand alone movie but could've been set up to a sequel.

While this movie pretty much ignores the history, it's still a good movie, great CGI, good acting and the ending implies a sequel.

Many have commented that Vlad was not a good guy in real life, hence the historical figures title of the "impaler". The movie does show this in a few scenes but in a interesting if somewhat brief way.

Good action scenes, battles and some gory images, but then as it's Dracula, what do you expect.

If your looking for a movie to just sit back and have fun watching, Dracula Untold is an enjoyable romp with good actors, Charles Dance is impeccable as always and Luke Evans is good as the main character.

First and foremost, a film is generally a work of fiction to have a good time, even historic films about important facts like IIWW, The Crusades, etc are most of the time only based upon the real thing which by the way many times we don't have a clue because it happened centuries ago and many times those things are not documented properly.

That said, it is unbelievable how people here put down this film because is not accurate if you compare it with Bram Stoker's novel.

How people is so moronic really is something I can really understand because Dracula as created by Stoker is as fictional as a wooden bank note. Fellas, Count Dracula never ever existed!!! So if some writer wants to approach the myth from a different point of view, who are these "Defenders of the real tradition" or better who they think they are?

As a new approach to the myth, this is a fantastic and entertaining film, being Luke Evans the perfect fit for this role, no matter the others really, Evans and the actor who plays the old vampire are just perfect here and the movie is made to the highest modern standards in terms of special effects, then the script is full of action, romance even suspense, so if you want to have a great time revisiting our old pal Mr. Dracula, do yourself a favour, get comfortable on your favourite armchair and your cup of coffee and watch this one.

If the weather is dark and windy then you are in for a treat.

Fun, entertaining popcorn movie. Why others are complaining about the historical inaccuracy is beyond me. It's just a fantasy movie about blood sucking vampires and it doesn't aim to be anything else.

Is Dracula Untold the best vampire movie? No it's not. Should you watch it with the expectation of the original Dracula? No you shouldn't.

However, the movie on its own is really exciting and interesting. I liked this movie a lot and found it to be very entertaining with a good balance of action but not being overly gory. Don't expect this to be like the classic chiller or you be very disappointed. I found it to have a good story line and really awesome action sequences. I recommend watching it, but just watch it for what it is and try not to compare, it's its own new story, not a carbon copy of the old story.
