Dracula Untold

Dracula Untold

Rating 7.5 out of 10

There of course have been many movies on the famed Dracula.  This is the one that claims to explain how he came to be.  This movie is getting killed in the reviews but I found it very entertaining.

It seems Dracula started out as a boy that was given by his father to the evil Turks who enslaved him and a thousand other boys.  Beating them regularly and turning them into ruthless killers.  He became one of the most feared- Vlad the Impaler.  He would impale his enemies on tall poles.  Flash forward several years and he has been set free and has a peaceful kingdom of his own with a beautiful queen and young son to boot.

When the evil Turks return wanting another thousand young boys including the kings son.  To defend his kingdom he becomes Dracula.  He is able to take on large armies by himself.

The action and effects is very good.  As I said I found this movie entertaining as I saw it on the big IMAX screen.  If you like these type movies I feel you will enjoy this one.
