Wuchak 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

mgokhanarslan 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?

Glenys Forrester Just loved this Dracula movie - being a Dracula buff both the fictional & Vlad The Impaler, and knowing the myths and legends and stories etc etc, I thought that this tied all the historical (fact and or fictional)and also Bram Stokers novel together (with Vlad meeting Mina at the end of the movie) really well as to how Dracula may have "began". Yes it is not that historically accurate but, then how many movies are and this is not a documentary - it is a work of fiction.I enjoyed watching it so much have gone and bought the DVD. I thought both Luke Evans and Dominic Cooper were excellent choices and loved Charles Dance as the first "Dracula". The movie is exciting and well paced and I certainly was not wanting to get up and miss any of it. Even my son and teenage grandson enjoyed it and they are both more into movies like fast and furious or Bruce Willis type action films, but even they sat glued to it and it is certainly not a real blood and guts gory type movie either. Loved every minute of it.

empatmk 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.
