Just Awful. Worse Than Wild Wild West And That Says It All

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2012)

Despite the silly premise I went looking for popcorn fun. Sadly, the movie delivers very little of that but plenty of what most expect and that's a story that's dumber than dirt. This effort really is as bad as Wild Wild West but with less star power. In fact, the entire final train battle scene was so far over the top and so very cartoonish and silly that it actually falls BELOW Wild Wild West levels. Up until that point, the action was quite light and that was a surprise. Take out one scene where young Abe chases a vampire through a stampede complete with CGI horses being thrown around and I can't recall any other interesting action at all. Everything is cheesy bad but very little of it in a good way. This was truly one of the worst films that I've experienced this year.
(BTW- Abe gaining vampire-like super strength because truth is power did make me snicker out loud. That was worth a few ratings points right there!)
