Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)

I wanted to like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. After all, I like Lincoln, I like vampire stories and I like the writings of Seth Grahame-Smith - but this movie is oddly boring. It takes itself too seriously when it should have been campy, dumb fun. Plus, the action sequences are cartoony and, for the most part, tiresome. Benjamin Walker is good as Lincoln, though.

As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln loses his mother to an unknown disease which later proves to be the work of a vampire. Trained by a new close friend Henry, with a story of his own regarding vampires, Abe becomes a legend in eliminating the undead but he eventually marries and retires from this gruesome hobby. Time passes but Abraham, who's become president, is not allowed to rest as the leader of vampires prepares a devastating war in order to take over America. Together with his friends and helped by his experience, Abe must once again save the situation which is in need of a savior.It's an interesting action-horror movie which "creates" a different version of the history of Abraham Lincoln, posing him as a vampire hunter with a silver axe as his weapon. It features impressive slow- motion undead kills with great moves through eye-taking computer generated imagery. Its story unfortunately isn't on par with its good parts as it is linear and predictable most of the time. Its characters aren't very complex either but they are well played by their actors. It looks good and it is pretty enjoyable, if you're able to withstand the horror part. I certainly did so I ended up seeing a good film.

This film is freaking awesome, fun and a great time! Why in the heck does it have below a 6/10 on here? Are people seriously stupid enough to think that this piece of entertainment and satire is honestly depicting historical events in full or semi-full accuracy? What's wrong with you people? No really. Someone message me and explain the massive hate around this because I can not see what is wrong. This is pure fiction. Is there something disrespectful here that I am missing? Anyway, this is a fun piece of fiction with mostly great action, good acting and a great script. The film moves along nicely and there is never a dull moment. It is a 7/10 kind of film but I'm going to give it a 10/10 to offset the madness.

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate them. Tim Burton as a producer and Abraham Lincoln with an axe killing vampires what could possibly go wrong? Absolutely nothing cause this film is a good fun sure it's kind over the top and 100% fanfiction about a President killing vampires but it's based upon a Novel what did you except? If you want to see his life his real life you can easily go check out the 2012 Lincoln movie directed by Steven Spielberg but if you want to watch a fun movie with action and guns and lots of blood this is a film for you it won't win any Oscars but it's definitely action packed and the cast did a pretty good job portraying all those characters.
