Review of Dracula Untold (2014) by Notoriousfraud — 29 Oct 2014

Universal's 'Dracula' Untold was much better than I thought it was gonna be. Like Maleficent, it doesn't completely reboot the character but simply re imagines the character, by the way this way better than Maleficent in my opinion.

Knowing this is what Universal wants to use to help kick off their Cinematic Universe (with 'The Mummy' reboot coming in 2016) well that's fine with me because Luke Evans does a good job in the role and the feel I get for it being dark like the Dark Knight Trilogy is alright as far as i'm concerned because it works here probably due to the fact that it's about a darkness seeking, blood sucking, vampire.

But the movie has some flaws, If you know anything about Dracula (or have at least seen the Coppola version that came out years ago) then you already know how the story ends and the movie is sorta predictable in the third act.

But the visuals are really nice and the big battle scenes are really good.
