do not judge a book by its....never mind

Rating: 4/10 (23 December 2012)

OK, first of all I haven'r read the book, but I know it is from the same writer that gave us pride and prejudice and zombies so I can easily say it has the same amount of silliness contained within. It is just that taking random pieces of history and rewriting them with supernatural is kind of a good idea, if done right. Not here. Lincoln vs the zombies is very...very stupid. Granted it has good special effects and some minor star power does not give it the gusto that you may expect from a one time flick. It does have some action, a little comic relief and some plot but it doesn't have anything else. It can be summed up as, boy knows vampires exist, boy learns how to fight them, he grows up, then becomes president(that is a spoiler, Abe Lincoln becomes a president) and fights some more vampires. Oh and he literally becomes the president in just one scene, it is like in five minutes its ten years later and he is running the country, civil war and all. And the south is so evil they employ vampires, too. In any case you can watch it with a couple friends and beer but there is not much fun to be had.
