Rating:
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a re-imagining of the 16th President's life that depicts him as an axe-throwing, highly accomplished killer of vampires -- an obsession of his since those bloodsuckers supposedly took the life of his mother. Lincoln eventually learns that the vampires have fled to the southern states of the U.S. and are concocting a plan to conquer and enslave the entire country -- this in turn leads to the Civil War between the Union and the Confederacy, the latter of which the vampires are aligned with.

I think being to use a dog walking service is so good. A lot of people are in need of these services due to their health. So much great work comes from it. Great job on this.

I agree one hundred percent. The story does nothing to build suspense, instead giving weak attempts at plot points with very thin dialogue. The actors in this film, especially who played Abe, are very talented but they could only do so much with the poor script. The cinematography however is stunning, and if you want to see ridiculous (but cool) action sequences, see this movie. Just don't have high expectations for certain plot points making sense.

Being a fan of the novel this film is based on, it pains me to say it is not only a bad adaptation but a very bad film in and of itself. The only redeeming qualities it had for me are the at times very beautiful cinematography and fantastic score, which when compiled with horrendous dialogue, a paper thin story and badly choreographed/rendered CG action sequences made this film painful to sit through.
