Go see it

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2012)

I'm not a Fantasy or Horror movie goer, but the idea of Abraham Lincoln fighting vampires was too interesting a juxtaposition to resist. I am so glad I went - loved all the actors in their roles, found myself laughing at the machinations of the vampires. Steampunkers should enjoy some of the gadgets. Seriously though, the opening scene rolling back from modern Washington to the city of the 1800's set a wonderful tone for the remainder of the story. This being the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War - being able to present a history lesson in such an entertaining fashion - kudos to Seth Grahame-Smith for doing such a clever job. Absolutely good fun !!!
