Without exception this is the best Dracula movie ever. The story is great, as is the character development. The acting, direction, FX, and everything else is truly fantastic. Unlike every other vampire movie ever, this is an intelligent movie that tells a meaningful story. Its purpose is not to be a horror story, but a story of honor, self-sacrifice, and commitment. This is a Vlad Dracul that you can respect and admire. He is portrayed (albeit with some liberties) as a human being dealing with extraordinary circumstances. While the ending returns us to familiar territory, this is a guy that you can't help rooting for. If there ever were a direct sequel, I could see it completely rewriting the original. As with Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, you want the antihero to destroy that which threatens him. I bought this film, first as DVD and later as on iTunes. It is a movie that the intelligent viewer - the person interested in a genuine story and not just done-to-death garbage - should buy and watch again and again. Young viewers in their twenties may disagree, as they tend to favor action-packed gore-fests and as they are not as well versed in the history and events of the period, and particularly those who have ever put their lives on the line for their principles, this removes a lot of the substance. But for those who like a good story backed up by an excellent production, Dracula Untold is the absolutely definitive telling of the tale - told as it should have been from the start.

A great movie. Not the traditional story, but a great one.

This film really bullshit.They didn't do real life so They try to do in the film.Don't fool anyone,People aren't stupid.We are researching everything.We want to watch true films.If you don't make true film then who will watch your silly films? And I don't understand why are you so racist?
