Abraham Lincoln: The really BORING Vampire Hunter

Rating: 3/10 (29 July 2012)

I just saw this movie the other night. The movie tries to capture the life of the main character Abraham Lincoln. You will see him growing up, losing his parents and see him developing his skills as a vampire hunter. You never really feel anything for him though. He wants to kill some vampires because of revenge. So he goes out training with this master vampire hunter guy who is like a rock star screwing all these chicks. You will see Abraham train with his weapon of choice the SILVER AXE. It's really a joke, it reminded me of some bad action b-movies where the hero is getting trained by the super cool teacher. His AXE skills are a joke. Maybe he had some fight training especially for this movie, but it's just not believable at all. Abraham looks like some 90's kid who got a toy AXE for Christmas and goes out swinging with the thing like a retard. Well anyways, he goes out chopping Vampire Heads of like he has some special talent for it.
I didn't connect with Lincoln or any of the other characters in this movie. This had mainly to do with really poor acting and cheese writing. In some more serious and dramatic moments in the movie everything just don't seem believable and feels really forced.
A little plus on this movie, is it's CGI action scenes. It has some stunning visuals like for example the horse chase scene where Lincoln tries to capture some long time vampire foe. But overall, I don't think CGI makes up for all the bad stuff in this movie.
In some parts of the movie I actually fell asleep because of the really shallow and cheesy scenes about love, romance and character development. It really felt as if those were fillers between the action scenes. But whenever I heard some loud slash sounds, I woke up, but soon as the action blood spoiled scene was over (which gave me some satisfaction and entertainment), I'd close my eyes again and sleep like a baby.
