Great photography, beautiful period costumes & furniture

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2012)

When my husband suggested going to see this movie, I thought.."Not tonight!",but this movie got me right at the beginning. I absolutely loved this movie! I thought the casting was outstanding, the photography was amazing & the period costumes & furniture was beautiful. I am not always a Tim Burton fan,but he definitely got this one right. I am surprised at some of the negative reviews on this wonderful movie. This is absolutely not a kid's movie,but an entertaining vampire movie with some history thrown in. I was so glad to see a fresh face in Benjamin Walker playing Abraham Lincoln. He really aced the part & looked so much like Abe, it was daunting. My husband read the book & said the book & the movie only have a few similarities.
