Must See Movie...

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fantastic!

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Hunter by night."Having discovered that vampires exist and that his mother was killed by one, the future 16th President of the United States (Walker) is recruited by a mysterious, shades-wearing figure (Cooper) and trained to lead a double life as a silver axe-wielding hunter, determined to rid his troubled nation of these ferocious demons, and of their invincible creator (Sewell).Crying out not to be taken seriously, what develops nonetheless from this pretty preposterous premise is a straight-faced blast of an offbeat monster movie (incorporating two massive set pieces), with excitement and style to spare, and lashings of gore.Its otherwise authentic biographical background makes for a grotesque history lesson (of sorts).Blu-ray Extras: Commentary, Documentary, Graphic Novel, Music Video, Trailer. ***½ (7/10)

For some reason I was between two options, whether to see this movie or not, and I went with the first. Overall, this is something that not everyone must watch but those who are prepared to watch an irregular mixture of reality and imaginary. Good but not excellent, Would give it 7/10 but that one powerful quote made this movie unforgettable for me and rose its rating to 8/10.

I definitely enjoyed it. To fuse fiction and History is ingenuity... the creators and their artistry is great, they put hard work into this. It is all worth it.It keeps viewers thinking...and at the edge of their seats! The civil war as a backdrop is educating. A bit heart wrenching as well. A great piece.

This is a good movie as long as you know what you are going into. It is not meant to be a historical documentary. Some look at it and see the name "Abraham Lincoln" and expect the movie to contain more of an historical aspect to the flick; however, in reality, it is a movie regarding Vampires. So, if you like vampire movies, you will probably like this. I read the reviews from others and they complain about how the book is so much different, well it is different. But anyone that reads a book and then expects it to be exactly the same (Other than Harry Potter Enthusiasts) has basically gone off the deep end. The movie does contain somewhat of the same plot, but it is not exactly the same. I like a lot of what some would categorize as "weird movies," and enjoy the occasional vampire movie as long as its not overly gory, which this isn't. Its a good movie, just know what you are going to see, not what some wish it could be.
