To much CGI used indiscriminately

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 2013)

I've read the book, which this movie is based on and enjoyed it very much. I think that this movie kept mostly true to the source material which isthe aging make-up wasn't terrible (when it wasn't post-production). The actor playing Lincoln had pretty convincing aged makeup from teenager to the time of his death.
My problem with this film was the over-use of CGI. If someone got hit or shot, the director would use the "Matrix effect" of slowing the person down as they do an outrageous head over heals flip. And not just then, even when a person would just get pushed or looked at funny, there goes the slo-mo reaction. In general, I think this movie could have been a whole lot better with a lot less CGI. Almost every scene has it. Lazy film-making leaves everything to post-production. If used more sparingly, this could have been a much better movie.
Spoilers: It's amusing to me how the female vampire looks so similar to Circe on Game of Thrones, down to the hairstyle. Also, how does Abe write in the same journal from his teens to his 50s? Only one is left with the vampire.
