This movie takes itself too seriously.

Rating: 4/10 (23 October 2012)

What I was hoping for when I sat down and watched this was some action and some comedy. I was hoping for a movie that didn't take itself too seriously. Needless to say, this wasn't what I got. I really don't know what to say about the "vampire" genre anymore except that I really can't stand it. This movie is trite, overdone and completely laughable (not in a good way).
Another issue with this movie is the time sequences. The movie moves too quickly with not enough character development to actually allow the viewer to get to know the characters a bit better. Lincoln is a prime example of this as he goes from tragedy to champion vampire murderer in a matter of seconds it seems. More development could have been done with Henry Sturgess' character as well. He seems to completely fade in and out of relevancy.
With that out of the way, there are some good technical aspects of the film. The camera work is solid and some of the effects are neat. Rufus Sewell is good too as the villain (a role he seems to excel in). The venues in which the movie was shot made the viewer feel like they were immersed in the past.
Imagine the movie "Zombieland" taking itself seriously. You would then have this movie as the result.
