This movie is dumb!

Rating: 2/10 (27 June 2012)

What is there to say about "Abraham Lincoln - vampire hunter?" Its a dumb idea, and it makes for a dumb movie.
Oh be open minded I hear you say. Well I am. I went too see the film in the cinema didn't I? If it had just stuck too showing Lincoln as a younger man battling evil vampires then I could off maybe enjoyed it (These parts are the best parts off the film after all) but the trouble is it goes beyond that. Trenching right through Lincolns life, and attempting to link the most important off events in the life off the 16th president too a Van Helsing type character.
Now if this had been done as a comedy it could off worked (I was laughing at later bits either way) but its not even trying too be funny. The Flick desperately tries to be clever. Working its way around the life off this historical figure, with ideas that are no doubt going over most off the audiences heads.
What's left is an over the top mess with a so called plot which rushes through 50 years, yet still manages to drag. There's an obsession with slow motion, and tacky 3D (even though I saw it in 2D) and by the end I just felt kind off embarrassed that I'd just sat watching yet another vampire movie. Which thought it was being original because of the way it fitted itself around some forgotten history.
I've heard the book was rubbish and yet they still decided to make a movie out off it. Meaning the film is actually pretty damn offensive too. In more ways than one.
