Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

[thatguy]

I watched this one on the flight to Istanbul (or maybe on the flight back from Istanbul, I can't remember).

I also can't really remember the film much. It was fun, mindless entertainment, CGI battle on a stampeding cattle drive, lots of fancy ax swinging by the prez.

I'd say give it a go, but don't expect to be able to relay the details to anyone weeks later...

And a vampire yeti.

I enjoyed this more than Dark Knight Rises.

It 'felt' like a Hong Kong action flick.

Hero trains with master, gets sent on missions, meets pretty girl, breaks with master to pursue politics and pretty girl, reconciles with master, kills bad guy.

SPOILER: The stampede scene really reminded me of Ong Bak 2 but was a hoot to watch.

The fights were fun and creative, the deadpan acting effective and convincing.

I say check it out.

Better than I thought it would be. I was hoping the train crash would have been more exciting since that was the way it was pitched. It was fun to see the nods to actual history in the film and how the vampire story intertwined with it.

I don't like CGI characters doing the stunts. I would rather see actual people doing them. But then, some of them were clearly impossible. This film would probably have been better in 3D with all the blood spatters and flying people during the fights. And the train scene probably would have played better on a fifty foot tall screen, too.

The film was a workman like effort. Wasn't bad enough to be unintentionally funny. Wasn't good enough to say, wow that was good. Just sort of hangs there like an improperly deployed sanda side-kick.
