I admit that I found it predictable as all heck, but very entertaining nevertheless. There were some scenes which screamed Lords of Shadow, especially the Hand of Bats seen in the trailer, and the final scene, which was amusing. I appreciated the nods to the history of the real Vlad Tepes, which I agree, would be interesting to do properly in a film, and not tie in the vampire mythology, and yes, set some of it in Poenari. I loved the costumes, so it wasn't surprising when I saw Ngila Dickson (who did the LoTr costumes) in the credits. The msic was also good. The way I see it, Dracula Untold is a good fun vampire film that you can stick on for an hour and a half, and don't have to take seriously. Mehmed was unintentionally amusing, I thought at times, due to the very clear liberal use of fake tan and cheesy accent. Charles Dance was good as the Master Vampire (it appears that he took over the roles of Caligula and Baba Yaga). It irked me a little mind you that quite so many scenes which feature in the trailer were scenes cut form the final movie.
