Reaction: The list of R-rated Marvel Universe films is fairly short, but now The Tomb of Dracula has become the highest grossing of the group.
"The Tomb of Dracula had so much potential, but it turned out to be wasted potential. Adam Wingard and writer Jack Brown, tried to add too much to this film, and in doing so it felt rushed and messy. Jeremy Allen White felt out of place, I just don’t think this role suits him. Too many characters and not enough development, I was disappointed with this film." - Terry Setev, The Bateau Gazette
"A cheesy B-grade horror movie that lacks any true character development, real thrills, or climatic action. I found this to be a waste since of Antony Starr's performance as Marvel's Dracula as he is my top choice so far for Best Villain this season. Too bad... Maybe if the title character faced a certain Daywalker..." - Susanne White, Tribune News Service
"The Tomb of Dracula works great as an homage to the classic Hammer Dracula films, but slightly less as a Marvel blockbuster event. The story isn't perfect, but it makes for a fun, entertaining debut of Dracula in LRF's Marvel Universe. I like how it sets things up for the future of Marvel's supernatural arm, even if the climax wasn't as eventful as it could or should have been. Jeremy Allen White makes for a nice reluctant hero, but Antony Starr absolutely steals the show with his Dracula (even if the role is a little under-written)." - Cal Crowe, Washington Globe
Rated R for bloody violence, language and thematic material
