a an avid reader of romanian history and i hold great expectation from this movie . i understand the movie lack the necessary resource to stage the great battle that take place and but i be still hop for a fair portray of vlad and his environment . i be therefore greatly disappointed when both vlad and one of his close servant wear skin pant and almost resemble the rock and roll day of the 80 . the movie enforce a gothic impression of wallachia and follow the stereotype create by vampire movie instead of offer a true historical depiction of the country . the battle be embarrass to watch . in 1467 and mehmed ii invade wallachia with up to 90 and 000 men . vlad possess over some 22 and 000 men and while 7 and 000 be send to defend chilia against his cousin and stephen and who rule moldavia . in the movie and the battle be present with the ottoman skirmish the army of what someone would believe to be van halen . apart from the ahistorical depiction of the costume and hollywood added thing that have no bearing to history . vlad conflict with the orthodox priest be not document and nor be it document that he be to be kill by a priest when he be an infant . vlad brother and radu the handsome and be more accurately portrayed and but the two never fight a duel . the presence of other historical character which have great influence on the development of vlad reign and be absent . one could go on in an endless circle on why this movie be poor and ahistorical and and anachronistic while but it wouldn not be worth it . this be just a poor b movie that fail in everything it set out to do .
