Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Yep, you read the title right.

Abraham Lincoln, before he was our 16th president and portrayed by DDL, was a hunter of vampires. He had hunted them ever since they killed his mother when he was young. He had exacted revenge against the vampires. He teams up with another hunter and set off to murder all vampires.

The film is of course very silly and cheesy. There's a lot of slow motion effects with the vampires getting decapitated and killed. It got irritating after a while, as it seemed that that was the only way the kills could have been done with slo-mo effects.

The acting's alright for the most part. Benjamin Walker fits the role of a epic Lincoln. He's just using his axe, flipping it around and cutting vampires in half. He was pretty awesome. Dominic Cooper as the hunter who takes Lincoln under his wing and trains him to hunt down vamps. He was pretty good as well.

Some of the problems with the film was that it was very slow-paced for some moments, and way too much slow motion effects.

But overall, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was a very entertaining ride. Sure, it was over-the-top and ridiculous because its not actual facts, but the execution was fun.  Sadly, though with the pacing, its not exactly 3 stars, but if you want a good time, check it out.
