akala ko ba vampire killer si Mr. President bakit pati mga Glitter Fairies pinapatay niya

[nakedface]

watched the movie awhile ago. t'was okay. not great just okay. Tim Burton's signature is all over the place. I did not enjoy much and at some point, nakakabore nga sya. So yeah, WWII is a war against VAMPIRES. America won using SILVER BULLETS (and silver cannonballs and silver bayonets and silver whatnots). Go figure.

The only part I liked is when Mary pulled the gunshot against that female vampire and used their son's silver toy sword as a bullet. Way to go first lady!

I think you meant the American Civil War and not WWII.

Nice choice for Benjamin Walker as Pres. Abraham Lincoln. Kahit wala pa siyang balbas sa first part ng movie, he really resembled Abe. How much more when he grew older and older.

He's the husband of Meryll Streep's daughter pala.

No dull moments sa movie IMHO. Right action and dialogues to establish the characters.

I hate movies with a dated feel to it but Abraham Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter was just so compelling I didn't mind at all. The movie was really kept interesting from start to finish. The ax-wielding Abraham dazzles us with the carefully choreographed fight scenes. The slow motion shots are heart-soaring. You have to see the horses-running-in-unbridled-passion and train scenes. Those two scenes are very memorable and are testament to just how much heart and soul the makers are putting into this film. Gore and scare factors are kept to a minimum (close to none). Again, I didn't mind because the movie was such a joy to watch!

Nice Movie

this was actually based on a book... Can't wait to watch this!

[forg]

One would easily think that a movie titled Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a comedy or at least a political satire but this movie isn't. I'm not familiar with the source novel but I've read that the author is known for twisting history with bizarre fiction but in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter the movie's attempt to blend Abraham Lincoln's past with a generic horror tale didn't work at all.

Abraham Lincoln saw his mother die in the arms of a vampire when he was a child. He vows to seek revenge and when Abe grew up (Benjamin Walker) he meets Henry (Dominic Cooper) who will help thim rain on how to hunt down and kill vampires.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is really a serious movie about the 16th president of the United States of America and his secret life as a vampire hunter. The movie uses real events in the life of Lincoln and incorporates a horror story. The movie does it by connecting issues of wars and slavery to vampire concerns and there are also appearances of notable historical figures in its contrived attempt to make it historically "authentic". But let's face it the concept is so silly that playing it straight made the movie a chore to watch. The performances are fine and committed while the production values are mostly good except for the horse stampede scene which was sloppily executed with some of the actors' harnesses visible. But over-all the movie is so dull and lifeless.

Genre mash-ups are not expected to be fun or satiric all the time but if a movie is going to take an outrageous premise there must be something in there that is at least compelling to watch so the viewers can suspend their disbelief and just join the ride. Unfortunately, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter takes itself way too seriously and loses a component in the process to make it watchable.

Action | Fantasy | Horror

The concept that the 16th American president was a vampire hunter is already a dubious entertainment material-- if not laughable. Especially when the story is delivered in a serious, historical manner. But the novel, on which this movie is based, has actually garnered positive reviews-- and followers. And with Tim Burton producing the movie version, I guess no one should underestimate the power of imagination and creativity and give this--*guffaws*--Abraham-Lincoln-with-a-secret-life-slaying-bloodsuckers a chance.



In Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, America is occupied by the living and the dead. Abe (Benjamin Walker) is confronted with this fact when he found out that it was actually a vampire that killed his mother. And so he not only becomes bent on ending slavery, but also becomes determined to avenge his mother's death and kill each and every vampire that exists in his beloved country. His determination of the latter comes true when he meets the mysterious Henry (Dominic Cooper), who trains him to become a vampire hunter. And so, like Clark Kent and Peter Parker, Abe also lives a double life-- store clerk and law student in the morning, superhero-vampire hunter at night. And if Thor wields a hammer, Abe kills the enemies with a silver-dipped axe.





Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and screenplay written by the author of the novel himself, Seth Grahame-Smith, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter proves to be worse than what I expected. It offers nothing substantial. It feels like you're watching a video game. No, actually, it feels like you're watching over the shoulder of a kid playing an unexciting kiddy vampire online game. That's how uninvolved you'd feel.


Bekmambetov has excessively used slo-mo effects and MTv-like choreography in the fight scenes, the black vampire blood and wooden splinters flying in 3D--sometimes obliterated by smoke and dust and in synced with a modern film score--which totally eliminates the scary factor. No build-up tension. No sense of raw horror and danger. Also, the unnecessary 3D effects make you all the more detached to what's going on. Yes, your eyes can comprehend a lot of action going on in the screen; all the flying, the magical axe in swift motion, the black top hat, and the cartoonish vampires baring their fangs pop-up style...but you won't feel a thing except why such a movie exists.




No sense of history either. The historical and Lincoln biographical part of the movie is thinly told and so you won't get anything substantial out of it either-- the movie purely concentrates on the non-threatening presence of the vampires and Lincoln's boring face and boring axe flying everywhere.


To vampire fanatics looking for a delicious horror-scare at the cinema, I suggest you just watch some YouTube pop-up monster videos because they are waay scarier than this. Not to mention more fun.
