I have not seen it. But I don't imagine that's tough. None of them have been spectacular really.LoathedVermin72 wrote:...I think Dracula Untold is the second-best Dracula movie to date.
But I do think it's another good example of saying something new& therefore worth the effort even if I don't like it.
