Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter movie review

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter movie review

Honest review by me

                When the first time I saw the title, I was like WOW, so this is the “side story” of the 16^th President of the US.  To be honest I don’t really know the director of this movie Timur Bekmambetov until I googled him after watching this movie. Turned out he was the director of Wanted, I enjoyed Wanted a little bit more than this movie.

                Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was about the side story and of course fictinional side story of Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker). He determined to hunt Vampires who killed his family and even after he was elected to be a President, his Vampire problem was still not over. Vampires in this movie weren’t just about brutality and he hunted them, no. It was much bigger than that, the Vampires actually played big part in the civil war apparently.

                This movie had some cool fighting scene I can say you that, however it took time to see the President kicked some asses. It was mostly about his young age before he was elected to be a President. Benjamin Walker did great potraying a badass hunter. Marry Todd Lincoln (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) only played small part in the movie, such a waste of talent if you asked me. The character who I liked the most was Henry Stooges (Dominic Cooper) he was like his mentor hunting vampires until the not-so-surprising twist revealed something about him, so Lincoln abandoned him  and went his separate way. Cooper’s acting was great, he was cool and obviously a badass himself. However the movie itelf as a whole wasn’t that great, it sure enjoyable but nothing memorable. I don’t remember anything about the scoring or sound effect, but it’s probably because what I really wanted was to see The President killing Vampires. And this movie like I stated before took time before he was elected and once he was elected we still had to wait until he picked up his axe again. Im gonna say this movie was enjoyable but not for the ones who wanted a great story, no this is not for you
