This thing takes itself too seriously.

Rating: 4/10 (23 October 2012)

Listen, the title alone writes the movie. I mean, it's... It's Abraham Lincoln killing vampires! Why does this movie take itself so seriously? The movie feels like a long, boring history lesson, despite the fact that it holds little historic credence. The whole thing is bland, hollow, weakly acted (Except for Marton Csokas, but that's only because he's a walking, talking hambone), and the action screws with the tone. There is one good action sequence, A train sequence near the end. That scene is how the rest of the movie should have been like. Seth Grahame-Smith, between this movie and Dark Shadows, you are an awful screenwriter.
** out of *****
