Better than expected but is only as good as its promise

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2012)

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a movie which delivers exactly what it promises. It promises a movie that takes itself seriously on a humorous topic and has good action scenes. And for an action flick it does deliver. The action is good, though sometimes repetitive, but it is still overly violent, bloody, explosion filled action. Of course the movie's plot isn't super complex or anything and doesn't try to be deep. It is a fun movie and is meant to be simply enjoyed and not really thought about.
The whole movie is basically a joke that takes itself seriously. Apparently vampires live in the south and are confederates so that they can use slaves as a food source. This explains as to why Abraham became a politician because his mission is to stop slavery and ultimately kill off the vampires. It is kind of hard to review this movie in depth because... well... there isn't much to talk about. The movie is entertaining, it has good action, its action sequences start to get repetitive, and it doesn't really stand out from the movie crowd other than its title. The acting was solid and the score was decent. There are some arguably offensive aspects of the movie such as saying that the Confederates were a bunch of murdering vampires and watching them get brutally killed seemed slightly... inappropriate.
All in all Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is an entertaining movie and doesn't really do anything wrong but doesn't really anything special. It's just another movie that will soon be forgotten.
