Dracula Untold (2014)
bad story
A terrible scenario, shoddy effects, bad acting and no gripping on non fictional events that distorts history beyond ridiculous movie. Complete waste of time.
Well, in most content which include antic or middle ages style in it always has a thing against the "easterner" figure, but in this movie it seems finally they decided to put it in a shape. As Turks.
Personally I think this closely related to the position of the Ottoman empire in world stage in those days. During its 700 years of rule, Ottoman empire managed to grow big enough to be a superpower of the day and kept that place for 200 years. Yes Ottoman empire was not formed by saints. But it barely deserve this. I bet nobody thought Vatican's demonization of Turks would be this effective back then. There are even some commenters putting some known terrorist organizations in sentences like equals with Turks. Its like Nazis demonizing Jews to legitimate their killings. Aren't we better than this?
Anyone with some skills with google can find who really count Vlad was and the practices at Ottoman empire (although this part might be a little controversial because of propaganda efforts) So I will not go trough them and bore you with realities. But I will say that there are many errors. If the producers decided to go fantastic about Vlad why put real figures against such made up character and humiliate people?
That would be really ironic if people of the future mention USA the way producers did to Ottomans in this movie. Not impossible considering the last 50 years of USA.

This is a most interesting and exciting TV
This is a most interesting and exciting TV series in Turkey right now. Even if Ezgi Asaroglu left the show, still it didn't lose much from itself and it is still popular TV series in Turkey. The topic that it handles is more like absurd comedy. But it contains laugh, love, and tears. But it has lots of comedy that involves with Turkish language. So if you don't know Turkish, you probably miss the most of the jokes. Ali Atay, Koksal Engur, Cengiz Bozkurt, Mumtaz Taylan, Osman Sonant, Serkan Keskin are great actors, and they plays in cinema and theaters too. However, it has some directing troubles. Especially if Onur Unlu didn't direct the episode, some glitches may stand out in your eyes.
