So stupid...even if you suspend disbelief.

Rating: 3/10 (10 October 2012)

I have no problem with sci-fi or fantasy. In fact I bloody love the genres. So I was really looking forward to this film but what a crock it turned out to be. Note to the film makers; employing slo-mo does not lend your film gravitas.
Well, initial rant over. But even if you enjoy the aforementioned genres nothing much in this film makes sense. Character exposition, no. Story development, no. I've never read the comic but I pray to god it was better than this. To even have a basic comprehension or love of it you'd need to give sh*t about American history (and being non-American I do not) and then if you do you need to be able to mould it to stupid possible interpretations. To be honest that sounds far more sophisticated than this film deserves. It was just a nonsense, period, supernatural action film concerning a man which 99% of the Earth's population had heard of and kind of respected but couldn't really give a cr*p about. I realise it's not meant to be an accurate historical portrayal but it tries to be so much more intelligent than it is. Even if you accept that the world is full of Vamps it still makes no sense. for example AbeL only realised, very late in the day, that silver is bad for Vamps. Weird considering he's been using it for ages.
To be honest there are so many plot holes I can't be bothered to highlight them all.
