This film is freaking awesome, fun and a great time! Why in the heck does it have below a 6/10 on here? Are people seriously stupid enough to think that this piece of entertainment and satire is honestly depicting historical events in full or semi-full accuracy? What's wrong with you people? No really. Someone message me and explain the massive hate around this because I can not see what is wrong. This is pure fiction. Is there something disrespectful here that I am missing? Anyway, this is a fun piece of fiction with mostly great action, good acting and a great script. The film moves along nicely and there is never a dull moment. It is a 7/10 kind of film but I'm going to give it a 10/10 to offset the madness.

Well, well, well, what a surprise. From the name "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" you might expect (as I did) some B grade movie where the name Abraham Lincoln was used to attract attention. And there are the reviews that speak absolute horror of this movie. But nothing would be more from the truth, this movie is a fantastic thrill ride with excellent directing, very, very good camera work en good acting. Even the CGI was incredible, there is a chase scene with horses that really blows your mind, not to mention the bridge scene. The movie is even historically correct at 56:38!! I even dare to say this movie is one for the classics.

If Bruce Catton or Shelby Foote were still alive those distinguished historians would never recognize the Civil War, especially for the root causes shown here. Black slaves aren't an institution in the South for agriculture, to pick cotton and tobacco. They are in bondage for a far more sinister purpose, as food for vampires who have taken control in the south.

Their untiring foe is Abraham Lincoln who fights them not on the political battle front, but by night due to his training as a railsplitter, he's pretty handy with an axe. He's hated the vampires ever since childhood when one of them killed his mother Nancy Hanks Lincoln. And here you thought she died of some frontier fever malady.

Benjamin Walker plays Lincoln and Dominic Cooper plays the mysterious Henry Sturgess who becomes his mentor. Lincoln should only have had the kind of moves Bruce Lee would have envied in his life. Who would have thought it, Abraham Lincoln: Action Hero.

You have to see how the fate of the nation at the Battle of Gettysburg is decided. Not to be believed.

Everyone looked like they were having a grand old time making this film. And of course it's all claptrap, but enjoyable claptrap at that.
