Overall great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2012)

While I was apprehensive going into to this film for many reasons, from the relatively unknown actor who portrays Lincoln to the idea that Lincoln was a vampire hunter, I called shenanigans before I even sat down to watch this film. Vampire Hunter blew my expectations out of the water. This movies has the right amount of political portrayal mixed in with the right amount of vampire slaying, brought to you by who other then perhaps America's most influential president, Abraham Lincoln. The acting is superb, cinematography is absolutely amazing, and the portrayal of a somewhat over the top story was not overwhelmed with vampires being killed everywhere you turned. Contrary to what I thought when I first sat down to watch it, this movie did not focus solely on the vampire aspect, but spanned Lincoln's whole life including childhood, love, lust, vampires and politics. Leaves me looking forward to perhaps a Vampire Hunter sequel? I'll just settle for other films from Benjamin Walker. Great job!
