Review of Dracula Untold (2014) by Jokstar — 23 Oct 2014

I don't usually bother writing reviews but in this case I feel I must. Having read the other reviews on this movie and then seeing the movie, it's pretty apparent that people are getting confused with what this movie is.

Let's start with the fact that it's not a historical biography. Dracula is a fictional character and while there was a Vlad the Impaler in the annals of history, he certainly did not seek the help of a demon possessed monster. Other reviewers have remarked on the how a whole country of people suddenly fit in a monastery. This is clearly explained in the movie that only a certain number of people are going for a particular reason.

Go and see this movie if you like a story and if you like movies and tv shows like 300, True Blood or Vikings (Tv show). Avoid this movie if you can't get past semi-historical reference points the movie uses to try and set the scene.

It's not the greatest movie you will ever see but it's definitely above average.
