Today, I just went out and saw the film, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, and here is my review…

Plot/Synopsis: Explores the secret life of the America’s greatest president, Abraham Lincoln, and the untold story that shaped their nation. The president discovers blood-thirsty vampires are planning to take over the United States. Lincoln makes it his mission to eliminate them, becoming history’s greatest hunter of the undead.

This film is getting mostly positive reviews, surprisingly, but did they see the same film that I did? I absolutely hated it! HATED IT! HATED IT! HATED IT! The film was a mess all the way through. I was bored, and almost fell asleep lots of times. The book and the movie is of course, way different. The acting was okay, I’m not knocking that, but the cinematography and visual effects were really bad. The novel was a strict, “horror”, but the film turned out to be an action movie. I thought the script was a mess, and I never liked how the vampires looked in the film. Not scary enough.

I’ll keep this review short ’cause there is not much to say about it. I was expecting the movie to be something serious and insightful like the book but instead we get a popcorn flick. Typical of Hollywood. *yawn*

Score for “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” = * (1 star as in “poor”)
