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.

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.

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%.

He might stumble a bit amidst the Turkish intrigues, but the closer he gets to the finish line, the more stubbornly I have to cheer for the prince of darkness in his fight against everyone. Luke Evans can bare his fangs and thanks to his charisma combined with excellent (albeit modestly served) action, Dracula Untold can appear several classes more magnificent than its reasonable budget or minimal runtime would suggest. Universal's ambitions to build a connected universe were somewhat naive from the beginning, but I will always know who would have stolen the show.

Fortunately, it’s not very long, as towards the end it starts to creak. Luke Evans is charismatic, the battle scenes are alright, and the mythology is solid, making it a viewer-friendly and visually undemanding B-movie. I think it offers as much value as it can for the money. Considering that Dracula has been adapted about 10 times already, Evans appears to be one of the best and also most energetic main protagonists.
