Earlier today (or I guess yesterday now) I went and saw "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." And it was ridiculous and over the top, as one might well expect. The screenwriter for this movie (who also wrote the book, which I read last summer) called it a "B-Movie." It was entertaining and action packed. However, still a bit of a disappointment. Having read the book, I was expecting a lot more from the story. They've changed and omitted a lot, including key characters and sections of the story. The book did a pretty good job of more or less following history whilst twisting the actual facts to include vampires, whereas this movie was kinda like "Fuck it, we're doing whatever we want." Things are very simplified. That said, it more or less delivers on what it's supposed to be, like I said. So long as you keep in mind that it knows how ridiculous its premise is, and it decided to run with it as far as it could anyway, you should be able to enjoy it. Even get a few chuckles at how absurd it is. Anyhoo...
