What an awful awful film!

Rating: 2/10 (19 August 2013)

There is not a lot I can say about this film without going into a full blown rant, but here it goes.
It's just crap. When I first heard the title I thought it was a comedy. But it's not. I assumed there would be something special made about Lincoln allowing him to fight the undead. No, there is not. He's just your average president with an axe who has super human speed and strength.
The plot was written by a child hundreds of years ago and has since been copied hundreds of times over the years by story makers who have little imagination. They just added in Abe Lincoln and vampires and thought "Wow, this is fresh!"
The fight scenes are supposed to be very stylised cinematic visual wonders. There're not. They are just ridiculous.
The pacing of the film is just too quick. There is no character development (not that films like this need it) but if the Karate Kid was paced like this, Daniel would go from painting a fence to killing hoards master ninjas in 2 short scenes. Pathetic!
I have written too much. This movie isn't worth the energy. It's just a badly made film. Should have went straight to DVD. The best bit in it is where Abe and his wife are discussing their little Willie! (his son is called Willie). If that was going to be the tone of the film (full of d**k and fart jokes) it could have been a lot better.
And I don't care if the book was any good. The film sucked. Big time!!
