I just watched this movie and I have mixed feelings, but, it's a good movie nonetheless. I actually enjoyed this movie much more than I did "Bram Stoker's Dracula" the Francis Ford Coppola movie. The story and actors are much better and engaging than "Bram Stoker's Dracula."
However, there are some things about this movie that I didn't particularly like.
SPOILER ALERT
Vlad Tepes aka Vlad The Impaler has now achieved peace in his homeland and rules with his family. The problem is, he is portrayed as a nice, amenable family man, almost mild mannered. Which is not the way you'd expect someone that was as ruthless and someone who impaled the bodies of his enemies all over the battlefield to behave. There doesn't appear to be a mean bone in his body. That doesn't seem plausable. He is forced to decide to give up his young son and 999 other of his countrymen's male youths for forced draft into the Sultan's army or to fight against them and their huge army.
Previously, he had a deadly encounter with a vampire trapped by curse in a mountain cave and he goes back to make a deal with the vampire for his power. He agrees to receive the vampire's power for 3 days (in order to conquer the Sultan's army) after which he loses the powers, but, if he drinks human blood he will permanently become a vampire himself. Sounds great! But, he continuously wastes the little time that he has to defeat the enemy when he knows he cannot fight during the day. He fritters away the few hours he has to fight the army while sun up isn't far away by spending his little time with his wife. Which gets her killed while he's fighting, which he could have done before the enemy got to the foothills of the fortress they are hiding out in. He lets them come to him and his family. instead of taking the fight to them. Another disappointment is the first engagement that he has with the approaching army of 1000 of the Sultans soldiers. They start out with a fairly good battle between him and the entire army. But, he's supposed to have super human strength and superhuman speed, which he doesn't seem to employ as he fights using his sword at regular speed. The only power he employs of to disappear into a flock of bats, when an enemy soldier strikes at him. I remember the TV series The Strain with good guy vampire Quintelles, who had and used his super speed. It's just disappointing that they didn't employ this super speed in the battle scenes. The vampire in the cave did exhibit super speed. Also, disappointing was the scene at the end with the Sultan having knowledge of vampires and casting silver coins all over the interior of his tent waiting to trap and kill Tepes character. Instead of using his powers of super speed and turning into bats, he only fights conventionally against the sultan to save his captured son, and almost dies because of it. Why did he not use his powers to save his son??????
SPOILER ALERT OVER
This movie was pretty good, but, could have been great if they didn't remake the Vlad Tepes character into a noble, mild mannered family man. Someone that impales his enemies on spikes all over the battlefield is not a mild mannered family man. Also, it could have been fantastic if they had not shortened the battle scenes and they had Tepes use his vampire powers to the max in fighting the huge enemy army.
