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

andrea c Rivisitazione dark della nascita di Dracula, in cui oltre ad una sceneggiatura non particolarmente brillante, anche la regia non brilla per qualità. Al di fuori della buona scelta di Luke Evans come protagonista, c'è davvero poco da salvare se non qualche sequenza di azione che pur senza grande logica riesce ad essere discretamente soddisfacente per la sua spettacolarità. Anche il finale lascia estremamente perplessi, forse nel tentativo di lasciare uno spiraglio per un eventuale sequel, o forse nuovamente per la scarda qualità della sceneggiatura. Comunque per gli amanti del genere, 90 minuti di azione da pop corn. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review joseph s Dracula Untold stands out because it’s stylish, fast, and full of energy. The visuals are sharp, the action hits hard, and the bat transformations look incredible. Luke Evans brings real presence to the role, making Dracula feel powerful and commanding. It blends medieval war, dark fantasy, and myth in a really cool way, and the movie keeps a strong, cinematic momentum from start to finish. It’s a fun, visually striking, badass take on the Dracula legend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Tarun R A simple and intriguing movie - (Evans) was suited for the role and the story was portrayed in a great way that does not belong to the commonly shown vampire movies. Nowadays, new movies are being taken with complexion and failed to reach its profit in collection wise. The simple flow of movie is being forgotten and that's is why ,any movies sequels after the first one does not perform very well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Gregory S I really enjoyed this rendition of Dracula. Out of all the "monsterverse" movies they came out with, I felt this was the best one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Genti M Might be the single most underrated film of all-time. Certainly up there. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review A. L First half of the film is great, the second feels a little more rushed. Spoiler: The force-like powers with the flows of bats destroying an army was really not necessary. The scene looks ridiculous to me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
