ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER is the SHOWGIRLS of Vampire Movies

[Jordan Catalano]

This movie was so ridiculously awful in every single conceivable way. It's 2 hours of mind numbing stupidity that I'm sure I'll buy on BD when it gets released.

[romantico]

I was going to see it but thought I would hold off to hear what others thought. The movie looks like a 2 hour video game. Is it at least fun? As bad as SHOWGIRLS was, I laughed the entire time and had a lot of fun.

The NYT review summed up my feelings--the movie was never going to be as good as its title.

Having Meryl Streep as a mother in law has aged Ben Walker terribly.

"You guys upstage left, monkey $hit!"

I thought he was sexy as hell in Bloody, bloody. I have yet to see a pix or video of him otherwise where I find him remotely interesting or attractive.


SO sorry to hear this about the movie!

I absolutely LOVED the book. I am seeing the movie on Sunday. I have a hard time seeing the book working as a film.

"It's amazing what paint and a surgeon can do."

Also (and I'm really curious if other people notice this as well) it seemed to me that the film switches from being shot digitally to almost being shot on VHS. It's really rather strange how the picture quality switches off and on, sometimes mid scene.

Mashups are so 2009.

Sigh. Guess I will have to wait for until Iron Sky getting a wider release for my history revisionist camp.

And of course Walker is unsexy as Lincoln. Remember who he is playing.

[Jordan Catalano]

He's only "Old Lincoln" for the last third of the film. The first 2/3 is sexy ass Walker with a whole lot of shirtlessness.

Vampyes suck off the public teat. Where are the Abe Lincoln Vampyre Hunters when you need them?

[madbrian]

Greatest effing movie ever made! I learned soooo much about our nation's history. Definitely have to go back and see it again. Too many layers to grasp on one viewing.

[bwayphreak234]

Saw this yesterday - I really enjoyed it, but I was shocked how much was changed from the book... SPOILER: Harriett Tubman and the whole railroad and silver plot line was not in the book END SPOILER, but I still really liked it. I would definitely recommend the book though even if you have already seen the movie. It was a great read.

Saw this last night, sadly wasn't fun, it lacked humour and yes Jordan it did swap halfway through scenes. The 3D was mostly lacking. This should have been a right royal joyous piece of crap. What it was, was at least thirty minutes to long.
