Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Platypuschow Before Marvel studios took on Frankenstein we got this Dracula piece that left me pining for Dr Strange (2016) which I thought was the absolute pits.Alike The Monster Of Frankenstein (1981) this was made by Marvels Japanese animation studio however strangely looks very western.It tells the story of Dracula, the woman he loves, their children, Satan (Yes Satan) and the group determined to see him dead.I'm struggling to find the words to explain just how bad this is. It's tacky, full of laughable dialogue, pitiful characters and an awful storyline.Unlike Frankenstein this is a very PG affair. Sadly it's not exactly family friendly, won't appeal to the kids and I'd imagine most adults will find it juvenile.The movie was so bad it made my nuts rattle, both of them! The Good:Animation is decent enough The Bad: Dracula looks ridiculous A lot of cheese No idea who the demographic is Things I Learnt From This Movie:Marvels cinematic road to where they are now was one fraught with embarrassment

thorntmd I've heard a lot of bad things about this movie. And is it really as bad as everybody says it is? Well, to be perfectly blunt, yes and no. For me, this movie is kind of a mixed bag. It's not the worst adaptation of Marvel Comics' "Tomb of Dracula", but it's not the best either. I've seen better, but I've seen worse. The film is at least watchable, but I do see how it could have been so much better in terms of its writing, voice acting, and overall execution. The animation is not bad for the early 80s, but the story is full of holes, the writing is a mess, the English voice acting is so bad that it's laughable, and there are some scenes in this film that don't really serve any importance to the plot. Some of the things that happen in this movie are so random and out of place that they just make me question "What's going on here?". Some of the characters had a lot of potential to shine, but are really not all that important to the grand scheme of the story (e.g. Janus, Lilith, Frank, and Torgo). So yeah, this movie has not withstood the test of time, and it really doesn't do its original source material justice at all. It could have been so much better.But to its credit, the movie does have some redeeming qualities. For one, it had some dramatic moments, and it portrayed the character of Dracula in a more positive light as a tragic antihero with a dark and troubled history. And while that's not what I'm used to seeing when I think of Dracula, I think it was a rather bold attempt to explore Bram Stoker's legendary vampire in that sort of perspective. But while I didn't mind exploring him in that direction, I was not cool with how this film portrayed him as a wimp. Because that was NOT cool. But all in all, this was an interesting watch. And while this film is highly considered to be one of the worst animated movies of all time, it's definitely an interesting piece of history. Again, "Sovereign of the Damned" is not the best adaptation of "Tomb of Dracula" ever made. It has its moments, but the problems it has hinders it from actually being memorable. But I guess it could be considered a cult-classic if you are to look past its flaws. But I would only recommend this to you if you're into anime and if you're into vampires. But be warned, you may be put off by this movie's general goofiness and its hilariously bad dubbing. If you're genuinely curious about this movie, it has been released on DVD in recent years. But its very hard to find, and they commend ridiculously high prices for it on e-Bay. If you're willing to pay the price they ask for, then by all means, buy it. But again, this may or may not be a good choice. And if you intend on watching this movie, don't expect it to be of high quality because you will be disappointed if you do.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great movie. 5.4 is underrating it. More people need to see this movie. It is a sequel to Dracula. It is very scary. Do not think that because something is Dracula that you would not bother with it. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great animation. I give it 8 out of 10. Do not think because something has vampires that it is not worth bothering with you are cheating you self out of seeing great film if you do not see this movie. Real talented people work hard on this movie. This a very scary movie. This is a great great film. This one of the best horror movie of all time.

ALISTAIR AHMED Greetings fellow IMDb browsers and movie fans. Ages ago, when VHS ruled the home entertainment franchise, I recall going to one of the VHS rental shops with my dad (RIP:-(). There it was, a cartoon about Dracula*. Granted I must have been only 12 or 13, but the idea of watching a cartoon about Dracula seemed to good to be true. Especially when there was a barrage of Marvel superheroes released by Guild Home Video that were a bit too formulaic. Therefore my short review will undoubtedley be subject to emotional colouring. What a cool movie. Dracula falls in love, has a son. The devil himself was in the movie. Furthermore the movie has reference to a prostitute, quite a dark issue for a cartoon to deal with. What more can you ask for. I'll be the first to admit that animation may have been somewhat basic, in comparison to what we have now. It's always those movies that you see when you're young that never get a release on DVD. Unless of course, you take Once upon a time in America's example and wait nearly 20 years for a release on DVD. Toei Studios please release this little gem of a movie. I'm sure there might be a copy in some car boot sale on VHS. cf a scene in the X-files where the cure for a virus is in some locker in a non-descript train/bus station.*I do remember that to be the title on the video box in red text, I don't recall a subtitle.
