Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
我可能太久没进电影院看电影，被imax洗脑了，真的是太好看了！水迷宫那段很震撼；打斗设计得挺好；世外桃源，千与千寻；Awkwafina 也太好笑，太可爱了！Karaoke那段我真是笑出了声！
两星半。再好的演员也cover不来的全面崩坏的剧情逻辑。我真的脑子里槽点太多塞住了吐不出来了
而你把你自己的儿子当杀手，你选择了十环而不是我们
还不错，representation做的比之前好一些，有很多文化的元素在里面，无论是明显的武术招式、异兽等等参考，还是台词字里行间的一些华人价值观，看得我挺骄傲的，缺点就是人物动机和塑造还可以更好，如果能有更深的象征意义也更好
故事逻辑性不存在的，不过打戏相当好看过瘾，父子大战好像司空震大战云缨。就是说一个最牛逼的中国人儿子逃跑去了加州生活，怎么港，还是外国月亮比较圆吧。
全片80%的时候都觉得好烂好烂，但只要梁朝伟出现就觉得还行，甚至他临死的时候，还被虐了一把。这个人真的太会演了。
今天是新加坡尚气提前上映第一天，在决定买票之前我还特意去搜了marvel有无澄清傅满洲涉嫌辱华的角色定位，看到漫威老板亲自出来讲文武不是傅满洲，傅满洲也不会存在漫威电影里，终于可以观影了！
就还是从西方角度叙事的典型漫威超英电影（the chosen one），服化道也是西式中国风（东亚混搭风），当然这些都没什么大问题，毕竟这本身就不是一个东方故事；接近一半的普通话台词是个挺好的体验，但更吹毛求疵一点，我会觉得说台词的语气有点太正式（有些像Siri）而缺乏情感，以及如果能加入方言（不少粤普、台普口音）会更接地气；开头前两场的打戏还是满惊艳的，太极的以柔克刚非常有表现力，刘思慕的打戏也挺不错的（希望他能和香港武指多练练）；梁朝伟最帅的时候，还是他颓废有胡渣的样子。
准三🌟！制作是不差的，偶尔为了人物成长/高潮戏铺设感情慢下来，（过了前10分钟）总体剧情推进还是比较顺。内核本质其实欧洲戏剧的内核（男人之求之爱之得之失，个体如何找到/成为自己等等，家庭/亲人）。整部片的最外表和一些构成元素的确是沾着中国的边，也做得不错，那只long大概是我在电影里见到做的最好看的龙。另部分台词和中文对白真的是有极大进步空间。梁朝伟当然是各种好，各种会演，且Awkwafina很棒，尴尬之时还好有她，最后打完靠在男主肩头那一下也着实演的好。所有华裔都喜闻乐见的一部片吧，漫威也是时候推出了。打戏还可以，还不少，很利索，当然也十分太极，之前看预告片以为会扑街，结果完全是预告没剪好。还算不错的blockbuster吧，若身为华裔华人，还是值得去电影院一看吧。
3刘思慕的托特选角故事很可爱。
傅满洲一系的原罪、尚气香蕉人的本质当然都是洗不干净的，但影片本身的改编还是下了工夫（估计类似僵尸世界大战的情况，改了也未必能在中国上映，但不改的话以后其他片子都休想在中国上映了），除去某些文化问题外几乎看不出什么明显恶意，在美式超英类型片里算是过得去，不掏钱的情况下可以一看。
你母亲被人杀的时候，你只是在窗户里看着什么都没做
想从这样“似是而非”的故事当中，找到某些文化中所谓的“真实”，就好像是，希望从料理包速食餐中吃到功夫菜的独特味道，那着实是有些缘木求鱼。
作為算中華文化的一分子，这样把什么都混搭真的好吗……好在梁生在哇，奥菲小姐在……
全片几乎没有外景自然光线，都是棚拍特效画面，明显的游戏CG质感。开场十环和映丽的打戏居然也做出旋转慢镜效果，在大罗村的景别和怪兽仅仅是勉强及格的水准。这部是近十年漫威电影里，质量最接近大陆国产奇幻电影的一次。
蠢的竟然有些可爱了… 廉价粗糙的视觉背景板，绿幕痕迹太重了。整部片的视效充斥着卡通感，我真的完全没法相信眼前的这个物质世界。只能说梁朝伟在这样一部连视效都开始缩水的超英片里还能稳住自己坚实的表演，真是辛苦了！！！
奥拉菲娜演的挺好的，之前某些媒体太恶意丑化了。片头唐人街取景好像蒙村，门牌号都一模一样，整部片子算是好莱坞流水线作品，但真没有感到恶意，后半部分和功夫熊猫3很神似，哈哈哈，还是值得推荐的。
避重就轻。在漫威片里节奏算是比较有创新的，不过像《黑豹》一样加入的少数族群电影的新奇感，却显得有点傻。
梁朝伟和孩子他妈打架那段画面好美 世外桃源古风韵味超足 两个人对视（梁朝伟还是帅啊苦情人-）啊 这油腻的爱情 || 桃源里的中国古兽都太可爱了哭了..九尾狐四不像啥的wml给特效组递烟..||剧情方面没什么亮点 除了我不太get男主是怎么想通且下定决心要弑父.. 龙打架的时候恍惚在看哥斯拉大战金刚+一点哈利波特||妹妹撞脸机智医生里的翼顺 真的好像噢.. || 男主和其小姐妹的演员 - 颜值确实感觉差点意思..我没有别的意思..我感觉abc/abk确实长得是这样
上气不接下气地驾驶上汽通用十环，文武香贵，一二四五
