I enjoyed it because I was expecting a cinematic vampire movie. You should do the same.

Yeah, it's hardly high-brow cinema, but for an indulgent vampiric gore fest, I was very impressed.
I do feel like the last couple of minutes could have been done as an after-the-credits scene, but I like the heavily implied sequel.
When he says "The strength of 100 men, the speed of a falling star" all I could think was "Yeah, no way should a Chaos Lord have higher initiative than a Vampire!"

I was thinking that this movie was the embodiment of what VC should be. That VL with about ten Vampires should be able to wipe an Empire Army, no problem. I also liked that ward save at the end (because of the guy who wanted to be his ward...). The whole time, I was wondering if he would end up using his ring to come back to life...

So ive seen it, Loved it!!! but automatically straight afterwards talk of a sequel opened up between me and my friends, now without spoiling it for any who havent seen it. If they do a sequel it worries me how it would turn out if they pick it up where the film ended, although ive no doubt id go see it anyway in hope that im wrong and it turns out to be another good addition to the Dracula franchise
However if a sequel does take place somewhere in history between the last few scenes it would be interesting (as i saw may be possible from a 30 second google search only) but questionable as to why include the last scene?

damn Vlad owns! There was also a lot of fact mixed into the storyline which was great. I have my doubts about the sequel though...

You guys are just too use to True blood (Erik Northman) and Twilight (Edward Cullen) vampires who move like the comic book hero, The Flash. Good old Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee never moved at super-sonic speeds. 
I LOVED it. The effects were very well done, the music was spot on, the actors executed their roles perfectly and the storyline was very enjoyable. I am definitely buying this one when it is released for home viewing.
I heard that a sequel is not in the works and that the studio will instead work on updating the classic Mummy movie from the '30's for a 2016 release.

Masterpsark, you're dead to me. 
You said Bella Lugosi can go die in a fire. That's just...just...unforgivable! He's the ORIGINAL Dracula actor, and he was awesome. Beyond awesome.

Edit: And to clarify I originally meant that the superman Vampires have been around for way longer than True Blood and Twilight, and my first exposure to them was back in the 90's with GW's Undead.
Was... ok. Not a fan of the sequel baiting. Really suffered from the PG-13 rating, imo. Tiresomely cliche/predictable. Makes an abject mess of the history, and in particular a shamefully insulting portrayal of the Ottomans. But some cool fight scenes, so... yeah, it's exactly what it looks like, for better and for (imo much) worse.
