[Evans] carries Untold by admirably fulfilling the two essential functions of a period-movie hero: to enunciate comic-book dialogue with Shakespearean authority and to look great with his shirt off.

Most of the time, I found myself feeling like I was waiting for a turn with the gaming controls.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
Rotten
The idea is to humanize one of the most fearful monsters in the Western crypt. But Dracula Untold goes way overboard, past domestication and into canonization.
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
A generic vampire tale in the Underworld vein that comes closer to the infamous Van Helsing than a memorable re-interpretation of a legendary monster.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
The movie is the latest multiplex filler to co-opt a classic tale only to drown it in computer-generated murk. Even the title has the ring of something created by committee.
Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
