I laughed

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2012)

You'll read reviews that bag this movie, but don't listen to them... unless of course you've read the book first or think this is supposed to be a real life drama of what Abraham did in his younger years. And believe vampires exist. It was fast, funny at times, silly at times - even though it was played straight and they said they intended it to be played straight when I watched the making of the movie, gory - CGI gore, lots of action, lots of connections to the real Abraham and his friends and family and the civil war. I think his axe should have come from someone special though. That would have made his 'strength' with the axe slightly more believable. Maybe if the axe had come from the first vampire hunter and had the blood of a thousand vampires in the wood. So when you gripped it, it increased your adrenalin etc and made you fast and strong. Maybe the book had him training for 100 hours and that's how he got to be so skilled. Anyway, good show as long as your happy to watch it like you're watching Avengers, or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, or some other show where people glide through the air and have the skill of a marksman and the agility of a trapeze artist.
