That was an excellent one.

... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreLuke Evans gives us a different type of Dracula, one I didn't expect. The childhood of Vlad is read to us. Vlad becomes the reluctant monster in order to have the strength to save his people from the Turks who are demanding 1,000 boys in addition to the tribute. Vlad enters into "the immortal game of revenge" to turn him into Uma Thurman on steroids.I enjoyed the set up and the initial battle. The film slowed after that until the ending fight scenes which were anti-climatic at that point.And what was that with vampires and silver? Silver is for werewolves. That made the whole film unbelievable.No F-bombs, sex, or nudity.
... View MoreFirst off I thoroughly enjoyed 'Dracula Untold.' If you're into an anti-hero type movie with pretty decent acting (for the genre) as well as plenty of action then watch it. I'd watch a sequel to it based on how much I unexpectedly enjoyed this one.Second, people that have issues with historical inaccuracies reflect on the idea that the movie just might be a "fictional fantasy" film, make your peace with that and then enjoy the movie. Furthermore, sure there may be aspects that don't track with the original book but the "untold" part of the title kind of infers that "this is the part that wasn't in the book." So again if people can get past that, enjoy the movie.
... View MoreI dont know why this got such low ratings!! It was so good! Specially the end ! There needs to be a sequel !!
... View MoreWhy 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.
