Film Review - Dracula Untold (2014)

Dracula Untold is a retelling of the classic Dracula story this time being played by Luke Evans who's kingdom faces an invasion by the Turk army so he journeys to Broken Tooth Mountain which is said to be haunted but this is one prince determined to save his people no matter the cost.

Dracula Untold is actually a fairly fun Happy Slide of a film and a lot of that credit goes to Evans who actually equips himself very well as a leading man having done a supporting role as Bard the Boatman in the Desolation of Smaug and soon to be released Battle of the Five Armies, Charles Dance enjoying a small career revival thanks to his work on Game of Thrones is also good here and the film has some pretty cool action scenes.

However those aforementioned action scenes needed to be much better edited as there is too much close up and quick editing present in them and the central romance I didn't really care about as I pretty much began to think a while later "yeah she's gonna die" which took a lot of the feeling out of those scenes for me.

And so that was Dracula Untold it does what it says on the Box and should make of a Fun Happy Slide at the movies at a matinee price, 2 and a half out of 5.
