Dracula
Untold 3/10
This
is one of those movies where I know what they were going for but
between the bad directing and the terrible writing it stood no
chance. Luke Evans stars as Vlad III Țepeș, the son of Vlad the
Impaler. He has a kingdom that is attacked and he visits a monster
that gives him the power to become a stronger warrior. Of course that
means becoming a vampire, or Dracula. Bleh! He dies and has a Nine
Inch Nails dream before awakening stronger. He fights and every
fighting visual effect occurs. You want slow motion, rotating
cameras, and blurry vision, you got it! Dominic Cooper shows up and
is once again wasted. Dude is a great actor! And why is it the tougher the warrior to bigger the wuss his kid is?
Thankfully,
this wasn't even 90 minutes long. Yeah, that should give you some
insight. This is just like those other shit films where they take a
monster and make them fight. Think Van Helsing, I, Frankenstein,
Priest, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, or Legion. This could have been on the SyFy channel for 2% of
the budget. On a $70 million budget it debuted and made $23 million
which is about $20 million more than it should have. I had high hopes
for this film. I blame 300 for making so that every single accent is
all over the place. Don't bother seeing this unless it's hot and you
want to sit in an air conditioned theater.
