ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

This movie has been on my list since it came out and I recently got the chance to see it.  All alone in a theater too. Even better.  The movie is pure entertainment. If you walk in thinking, "This film better be awesome and have everything be great about it." First, from the title, no one should be thinking anything spectacular or phenomenal.  Just, there will be vampires, Abraham Lincoln, fight scenes, axe guns, and just crazy funny stuff.


The only thing I have to really say about this movie is that there are choices to watch this.  At the theater, maybe.  Go either the first showing or just wait until the movie comes out on DVD or it's on Netflix or something.  It's worth the watch if there's a night that requires for a movie that is just completely over the top hilarious because of how ridiculous the plot is.  It is based on a book, which I'm sure the book might go into more detail but I got a pretty good kick out of the film.  If you like Wanted, or at least just really liked the action scenes, then you will enjoy this film.  The characters, don't matter, the plot, doesn't matter, the action scenes, pretty cool.  I really enjoyed seeing a man fight with an axe.  It was twirl-flip-spin-strike-twirl-strike-switch hands-twirl-kill.


There are problems with the film, the acting is meh at best, then again, the movie is called Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Did anyone expect Academy Award winning acting?  I didn't.  I will say all the actors did a GREAT job compared to Charlize Theron in Prometheus.  Is that saying much?  Not really, but I still liked it.  The vampires looked really cool too.  They stuck with the dark themes, the grey skin, teeth, blood stuff.  No sparkling in this movie.  


SPOILER-ISH THOUGH NOT REALLY!!!
The fight scene where Abraham and the one vampire fight between a stampede of horse is pretty cool. I thought it was one of the weirder settings to have a big fight scene. 


Reasons to see this film?  If you haven't been convinced to at least rent this movie when it comes out for DVD or stream it online, then I don't know what else to say.  Do you want to watch a ridiculous movie that has some pretty awesome action sequences?  Then you should check this film out.  
Reasons not to see this film?  If the only thought running in your head was, "This movie sounds dumb and from the trailer I hated it.  Even the poster didn't do it."  Then there's your answer.  Don't watch a movie that's only purpose is to entertain.  That's all I got out of it anyways.  Just pure entertainment.
