The guy playing Mehmed looked like he walked right out of shopping trip on Rodeo drive. He got his sick fade going on, tweezed eyebrows and moisturized skin. That's all I could think about throughout this whole movie. His character wasn't the only one that bothered me either.

I don't know what's going on in Hollywood right now, but they need to fire all their casting agents. It's just movie after movie of just horribly casted people. I didn't know If I was watching an episode of Vikings or Downtown Abbey.

It's not that hard. Kingdom of Heaven did it brilliantly several years ago. They casted amazing actors that also fit the part (physically and linguistically) they were supposed to be playing.

What about Dracula's wife. I doubt that women looked that beautiful back in those days.

Look at some old paintings... women were that beautiful and sometimes more beautiful. Make-up existed even back then. The actress looks fairly natural and isn't wearing a ton of makeup.
