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

Boopi H one hugely entertaining vampire - & i'm hard to please Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Oluwatobi O I have got to say I enjoyed every bit of this movie. It is an intriguing new take on the classic tale. It is one of a man forced to become a monster. You should check it out if you're a fan of the Count. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Diego L I watch this movie on Netflix and I want to say is amazing the action how it happen how he saved his people he is a hero. There should be another squeal and the movie wasn’t a flop it’s an amazing movie it’s a master piece imagine how many people will see it now if it comes out of vampire movies he’s a king and he rule the world he’s a hero there should be another movie !!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Kal-El M This movie was better than what the critics gave it. Ever notice how they only love certain things and are usually at odds with the audience scores? Losers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Valeria L I really think this movie is underrated, it is so good, so creative and I love the storytelling and everything of it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Thomas H Dracula Untold is one of the most underrated fantasy films in recent years. In just 92 minutes, it delivers stunning action, a fresh take on Dracula’s origin, and a genuinely emotional story, with Luke Evans giving a fantastic performance as Vlad the Impaler. The battle scenes are visually breathtaking, especially when Vlad unleashes his full power. Sure, the CGI is heavy at times, but the movie never drags, never wastes a moment, and keeps you hooked from start to finish. This could have been the start of an incredible Dark Universe, and it’s a shame it didn’t get the credit—or sequel—it deserved. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
