Aug 17, 2015 A creative version on the origin of Count Dracula.

So bad it stinks. I'm honestly confused by all of you giving positive reviews, maybe I missed something? Kind of a horror movie, not my thing to begin with, but also completely failed to engage me in spite of perfectly competent actors, …

I found this movie to be very entertaining even though it was a much different story line than I expected. The films change of the Dracula story was great and made it fun to watch. I didn’t want to watch the same Dracula story again and…

Grim, but well made. There are lots of neat bits of lore that get explored here, and viewers are treated to a sympathetic version of the Dracula legend. The movie title is a tad nonsensical, and I get the impression this movie will sadly…

This movie had too many NIGHT TIME , DARK, SCENES which made it very hard to see the actions going on within it.... The overall story, plot told, and 'twist', on the old fabled , Dracula tale was alright but the filming on set was very…

I'm not a fan of period movies but this was very well done. It was also a unique approach to a story retold numerous times.

I knew that it wasn't a good movie, but I got it from the library anyway, hoping for good special effects. Special effects are Ok, but not good enough to suffer through the stupidest plot (The movie didn't do justice both to the history…

I found this creative mash-up approach to Dracula/Vlad The Impaler pretty entertaining.

With a different perspective on Dracula, I found this to be an entertaining movie. 4 stars

What on earth was i thinking as i first reserved this, picked it up, and then sat down to watch it?!? As a long-time lover of Dracula and vampire-related movies, TV series (well, only Buffy and Angel, actually) i have high expectations (no…

Nice mix of historical, myth and fantasy. Heavy on the last two. The way Dracula is portrayed by the end of the movie I'm surprised he didn't join the cast of Marvel's Avengers. This is as far to Bram Stoker's Dracula as Earth is to…

This is Universal's attempt to turn Dracula into a comic book character. Bram Stoker's Dracula is far better.

A different take on the Dracula story. Interesting. I missed Von Helsing though!

When I picked this up I thought it would be something cheap - and found myself thoroughly involved in a great story that blends fact and fiction seamlessly. Highly recommended.

Good special effects. Only fair in drama and story.

Pretty boring - I started to read the newspaper halfway through.

Good action flick with a decent plot, it did not disappoint with all the cool vampire abilities- history buffs beware, it will not meet your expectation nor timeline.

Nice and dark.

Not a good Dracula movie. The older 'Dracula' with Anthony Hopkins is far more superior. This film points to a sequel, but I doubt if one will be made.

Little on the short side, but worth watching. Charles Dance, Luke Evans, and Sarah Gadon were solid, but I wasn't really pleased with the rest of the cast, including Dominic Cooper who was a let down. Cooper's role as the villain just…

A fairly good retelling of the Dracula origin story. Needed more horror in my opinion, for a vampire film almost nothing scary happened. Not bad, not the best Dracula based movie by far, but worth a watch.
