It's better than it needs to be.

It started better than it ended, but still better than I expected it will be.

>"Lincoln! We'll be late for the theater!" This premise is very interesting and I like the actors involved, and even though it is a bit silly but entertaining, I just thought that the cinematography looked so grody. Not going to lie though, it made me want to read the book.

I must say I thought Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was really entertaining for the most part. I thought the film did really well in mixing real history with fiction. I actually went into the movie with low expectations and expected mindless action and it turned out to be a fun film to watch which possibly helped to enjoy the film even more. The action scenes were excellent and the cast and acting wasn't half bad.

This is loaded with terrific visuals and exciting effects but totally falls down due to its serious tone, which clashes with the silliness of the premise. The acting is fine for what it is and I was surprised by the amount of blood and guts. The acrobatic vampire killin' and axe twirlin' was fun but the reinvention of Civil War era history caused a strange disconnect for me.
