We must document a grievance with our native board of training as a result of our highschool historical past lecturers it seems that lied to us approximately Abraham Lincoln, if we are to imagine the brand new movie in regards to the former president being a vampire hunter.  The SIXTEENTH President of the us knew martial arts. He was extremely swish at doing a leaping roundhouse kick at the same time as beheading bloodsuckers together with his ax. His mom didn’t die from tremetol. She died from vampires, inflicting her son to move on a vamp-killing spree. Also, do you know he unmarried handedly stopped the Accomplice Military (who have been all vampires) with guns from the White Area kitchen? Oh, and let’s no longer overlook that the good emancipator additionally had a hidden gun within the butt of his trusty ax that fires silver bullets.
 
Yes, the ones are all parts of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and no, this film isn't a comedy.
 
“Lincoln” is a cheek in dire want of a tongue. With probably the most preposterous of plots, one might be expecting “Lincoln” to be funny, however it’s now not. It takes itself as critically as a disease, and therein lies the most important downside with this movie. Produced by Tim Burton and directed by Timur Bekmambetov, “Lincoln’s” seriousness is an entire about-face from the outrageousness of its premise. If it performed itself rapid and loose, we’d have one thing totally authentic and stale the rails – a film that would simply develop into a cult vintage. As a substitute we simply have a foolish title.
 
Based off the unconventional by Seth Grahame-Smith (he additionally wrote the screenpay), “Lincoln” strictly follows the superhero system; younger Lincoln witnesses his mother’s dying by a vampire, then in blind rage seeks vengeance. Input sensible mage Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper), who teaches the shop clerk/law pupil to center of attention his anger, wield an ax, and transform without equal vampire hunter -- a prerequisite to run for office.
 
Over the years, Lincoln splits his tasks. He politics and hunts Adam (Rufus Sewell), the vampire from whence all vampires have originated. We’re handled to the Civil War, the emancipation of slaves, the Gettysburg Deal with and his courting with Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). The movie pointers the steadiness an excessive amount of desirous to be a ancient motion epic like “The Patriot” in preference to going the wrong way towards fooling around vampire slasher film.
 
Benjamin Walker, a near-spitting symbol of Liam Neeson, is our Lincoln. He without a doubt seems to be the phase and his command of creating Truthful Abe a vampire hunter is very relaxing. Walker’s transition from younger Lincoln to vintage Lincoln, from vampire hunter to President is strangely probably the most herbal component within the film. He’s a promising younger actor with quite a lot of potential.
 
The vampire results are first rate. They fortunately don’t sparkle within the daylight and their harsh transformations, at times, could be a bit frightening, following the vampire development of stretched and elongated CGI faces of new vampire movies.  
 
If you’re anticipating a comedy you can be disillusioned. If you’re searching for a major motion movie with President Lincoln killing vampires, then you’ll be happy. Both way, your mind isn't required upon access. Now that we all know the untold tale in the back of Abraham Lincoln’s extracurricular activities, what had been Presidents Rutherford Hayes and Grover Cleveland in point of fact up to?
