Enjoyable but forgettable

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2013)

It was a ridiculous concept making Lincoln a vampire hunter with the support of side kicks from the living and the dead. Also the idea that the former president is blessed with the flexibility and skills to shame a gymnast was too far fetched. Some of the support characters were weak and badly written, this was clear by the uncomfortable wooden acting. The sub-plots were also unclear as in the case of the characters Joshua Speed and Will Johnson. These characters seem to be added only to grease the wheels of the weak plot and they had little or no definition, both characters seemed to be hanging around the lead for most of the movie with no real reason other than to jump in at the nail biting moments and save the day. The movie for all its character flaws and plot line actually stood up, it was well made and the effects were good. The end result was enjoyable but thankfully forgettable.
