About this movie

Witness the origin story of one of legend's most captivating figures in the action-adventure, Dracula Untold. The year is 1462 and Transylvania has enjoyed a prolonged period of peace under the just and fair rule of the battle-weary Vlad III, the prince of Wallachia (Luke Evans, Fast & Furious 6, The Hobbit series). But when Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper, Captain America: The First Avenger) demands 1,000 of Wallachia's boys -- including Vlad's own son -- become child soldiers in his army, Vlad must enter into a Faustian bargain to save his family and his people. He gains the strength of 100 men, the speed of a falling star, and the power to crush his enemies. In exchange, he's inflicted with an insatiable thirst for human blood that could force him into a life of darkness and destroy all that he holds dear.

Can somebody actually make a worse movie?! Where do I start. From the preview I thought this movie was going to portray the point of view from Dracula's perspective. Nope! Horrible actors with fake ascents and bad dialogue. I've seen better graphics on 90s video games. So they're supposed to kill Dracula with a magical plastic stick that has a retractable blade. Even the props suck! I kept thinking the movie would get better but just had to stop it midway. I'd suffered enough...

Casting was pretty well done and portrayed accurately enough. The writing though did not "sink its teeth into me" as it should have. I didn't care enough about the characters to feel bad for them. Should've been longer and had more of a lead up to the "turning point" of the movie. Here's hoping that somebody makes an amazing , well thought out and emotionally gripping vampire story, and I don't mean Stephanie Meyer's abortion of gothic lore.

Bram Stroker's Dracula of 1992 or 1991 was a film full of artistic developments surrounding a classic Era in time, it was a film full of rich beautifully orchestrated music combined with a timeless story about love and lost; overall this was a once in a lifetime kind of film never to be repeated again. Dracula 2014 is a film lacking all of the attributes I mentioned for Bram Stroker's Dracula, it has no substance or artistic talent like it's predecessor, what's worst is that it falls beyond a point of redemption.
