If Dracula Untol d is the start of a new monster universe, I'm afraid this whole project will fail before it gets off the ground. It made some money, but probably only because vampires still draw audiences. The film itself is incredibly tiresome, easily predictable, and lacks moments that could draw you in. If they had rather attempted another adaptation instead of a similar mess, maybe it would have turned out better. Maybe.

A very enjoyable popcorn flick. Luke Evans steals the whole movie for himself and I was rooting for him. The effects and action are top notch, the only thing that hurts is the lack of blood, but it still has something to impress, I was even disappointed that the film doesn't have an extra 20 minutes. The cave scenes evoke a beautifully dark, almost horror atmosphere that made me, as a horror fan, melt with excitement. So for me, satisfaction, I had so much fun that I didn't even have time to think about the logical errors. A beautiful introduction to a new universe. 80%.

Whether the new Dark Universe works or not, this initiative has created another enjoyable Dracula. Which in and of itself is very pleasant. This time in a 21st-century version with the Untold moniker. Honestly, whatever substance Luke Evans reaches for, it's more or less certain that a portion of the (female) audience will be satisfied just by the fact that Evans doesn't get off the screen. And if his protagonist is a romantic (anti)hero, then everything else is just icing on the cake. This is how the new Dracula works almost flawlessly. Anyone who wants something different can choose any other version from the countless adaptations that have been made throughout the 20th century. I was pleased with it.

Dracula Untold is a silly but entertaining flick kept afloat by the well-cast and charismatic Luke Evans. A B-movie script
with simple character motivations and barely tolerable catchphrases. But the movie is well paced and playful, the
emotions work and the digital effects are of sufficient quality.

While the latest film adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel offers a new perspective on one of horror's most famous monsters, the result is another mediocre American-made audio-visual spectacle that benefits from the casting of Luke Evans in the lead role, but loses on the story level. In short, a one-off that neither impresses nor offends, yet neither scares, which was perhaps a bit of a shame.
