Critics Consensus

Neither awful enough to suck nor sharp enough to bite, Dracula Untold misses the point of its iconic character's deathless appeal.

Richard Corliss TIME Magazine [Evans] carries Untold by admirably fulfilling the two essential functions of a period-movie hero: to enunciate comic-book dialogue with Shakespearean authority and to look great with his shirt off. Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Scott Tobias The Dissolve By throwing out the traditional vampire conflict, Dracula Untold loses its intrinsic (and prurient) appeal without gaining anything valuable in the process. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 13, 2014 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland Most of the time, I found myself feeling like I was waiting for a turn with the gaming controls. Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu The Twilight series defanged Dracula and this prequel has not come anywhere nearing giving the good count his fearsome canines Aug 21, 2023 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A very good re-imagining of the Dracula tale, one carried by the enthusiastic performance by Luke Evans. Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The film’s attempts to make its subject’s mass murderer a heroic, tragic figure succeed only in a misapplication of style and intent. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Justin T This is the perfect example of why style over substance results in a pretty bad film. The style looks fake as there are so many visual effects but I guess that isn’t a problem if, like me, you don’t mind the video game/CGI look. The fight choreography and fight cinematography is really disappointing, the camera is too close, the editing too jumpy and the choreography is lacklustre. This is not a good fight movie. Much as the story and characters are totally forgettable and unrelatable the style is occasionally very cool and nice to look at. Also the music was very good. Neither of those things though can excuse bad writing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Bom Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Ok Caracterização: Bom Soundtrack: Ok Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Audience Member A superior Dracula film! Incredible casting, historical richness, with both gut-wrenching and beautiful scenes. Most Dracula films can only offer gore, sex and fear porn. But this film, confronts viewers with the humanity of real-life Vlad The Impaler, and successfully forms a connection with the complexities of count Dracula. It's a success! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Daniel W I found it very entertaining, it kept me intrigued Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Dave C Whilst it may not be the most imaginative origin story, it is still brilliant! There are many elements of the story that work well, along with the great action scenes, and the overarching romantic theme Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Zoe J The critic reviews of this movie are WAY too harsh. First off, the vampire effects in this movie were SUPER cool and innovative compared to other mainstream vampire flicks. Luke Evans gives it all to every role he is casts in, and this isn't an exception. The story itself isn't the best, and there are certain costume choices that had me laughing. Overall, this is a super fun flick to watch at home and definitely rewatchable. I wish there had been a sequel!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
