Went in basically already disliking the movie...

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2012)

...and then I was surprised. My wife had tried to explain it to me, so I thought it was some Burton/Depp movie, and I was thinking "Here we go again with Johnny Depp..."
Then as the movie progressed, and I noticed no Depp, so I let my guard down a bit, which would have been brought down regardless since the movie was very entertaining because of the storyline, time period, and the special effects/choreographed scenes. I hate over-the-top car chase scenes and slow-mo fight scenes (and, yes, vampires, too), but add that to a cool story line with a late 19th-century setting and Abraham Lincoln, and I had a good time that I did not expect!
If you take your movies seriously, I would stay home, as you might feel intellectually cheated out of your hard-earned money. I thought it was intelligent, but I am the guy that hates 3D movies, over-the-top special effects, slow-mo fight scenes, vampires, zombies, and story lines done over-and-over-and-over again - all for recycling, but not of movie plots! And maybe this movie did have a recycled storyline...I have no clue!
For me, without knowing what the movie was about other than the title, I was thoroughly surprised and had a good time. Laughed a lot, although it's not an outright comedy, but I do like history, and as I will say for the third time, I liked the story!
If you are on the middle-of-the-fence, wait until it comes to the "cheap seats" or DVD.
