Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

I just have to wonder what kind of thought process went on in Hollywood where anyone thought this was a good idea.
Technically, it's a masterfully crafted film. The dialog is kind of sharp, the plot moves along, the special effects are seamless into the film (although the final sequence is WAAAAAAY over the top.) But the real offense of this movie is that it take probably one of history's greatest figures, and turns him into a cheap action figure. Why not "Ghandi, Zombie Slayer" or "Martin Luther King: Werewolf Killer!" Because those WOULD be offensive. Lincoln is sufficiently remote where you can do a mashup between the real man and a cheap action hero, and no one gets nearly as offended as they should.
The Confederacy was evil because it held on to the notion that one person owning another was acceptable when everyone realized it wasn't. You don't need some silly nonsense about vampires in there.
On a side note, the vampires themselves are cartoonish. I mean, I guess we can be glad they are portraying them as monsters after their emasculation by movies like Twilight.
