Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Absolutely Fantastic
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
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
I dont know why this got such low ratings!! It was so good! Specially the end ! There needs to be a sequel !!
This film really bullshit.They didn't do real life so They try to do in the film.Don't fool anyone,People aren't stupid.We are researching everything.We want to watch true films.If you don't make true film then who will watch your silly films? And I don't understand why are you so racist?
Awesome movie, I just want another voice heard so we can get a second one, my friend showed me this movie about 9 months ago, I've watched only 3 or 4 times but it seems brand new every time I watch it. I'm a lover of the Underworlds, but I see this as a possibility of a set of movies to top them. Please keep them coming!!!
