    This is obviously made for the GoT/True Blood crowd.

    The film has been in development for years--in the early stages Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City) was supposedly going to direct. I think it would've been a much more violent, grittier and darker film had he still been attached.

    Maybe back in the 90s, but Alex Proyas doesn't make dark gritty films anymore. I'Robot and Knowing were pretty mainstream.

    I Robot had its moments, and I'd like to think Knowing was out of his hands as far as the vision goes. I still have faith in the director. Hopefully he'll deliver something dark again one day.

    The only thing good about I Robot was that if it had never been made then the Digital Domain in-house spoof called I Frobot wouldn't have been made (just looked, it still doesn't seem to have leaked. Proyas, supposedly, wasn't amused but he's overrated anyhow and was making a bad movie anyway so he can suck it). Movie sucked otherwise and practically single-handedly created the stupid leaping into frame cliche/trope you see employed since then for any kind of "thing" that is supposed to have more-than-human strength and agility, all the way to today and those chimp movies. Every time I see some leaping "thing" now I want to vomit because of this stupid movie.

    And then there's the whole Wil Smith ruining yet another film doing his Wil Smith thing.

    If you're equating these two as similar audiences you're talking out your ass.

    Looks okay to me. Nothing I'm in a rush to see but it doesn't seem terrible.

    this actually looks really cool. I like the fact someone is doing this version of Dracula and not the same old story AGAIN. I don't hate the idea of someone doing Dracula, but after awhile I wanna see a new story. The beginning of Dracula as a vampire is not something a lot of people touch on (if anyone has?). And putting the True Blood crowds and the Game of Thrones crowds together is pretty ridiculous. Those 2 shows couldn't be farther from each other. You're just picking 2 popular shows that are on the same channel.

    Coppola showed his origin in '92 Dracula.

    Now they make a whole movie out of it.

    As tragically flawed as the Coppola version is, he basically covered the historically inaccurate notion of Vlad as this heroic knight figure. For once I agree with Orlock. Who needs more of this bullshit?

    Something new and interesting might be doing the story with him as a mass murdering psychopath, dropping the post-X-Men super hero armor and go gritty and dirty and ugly and hairy like the real guy and real story is, and weave an un-sexy vampire third act in.

    Movie was alright. Cheesy, with some pacing issues, but the action scenes were solid and the effects weren't too bad. 6/10

    They need to make a real Vlad the Impaler movie with impalings and bloody warfare.
