2/5
Ya know, a lot of people were expecting this to be a LOT of fun. I was one of them. Reviews said that the movie took itself far too seriously. Again, I agree. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was the movie demanding us to take it seriously. Scenes that could have been fun were crammed with purpose and annoying symbolism, and bad-ass fight sequences were followed with brooding seriousness that became incredibly annoying. Seriously, it's about Abe Lincoln fighting vampires and it was trying to force an emotion down our throats. It's one thing to take something too seriously, this is particularly annoying. It leads to some things that, also, are a little unbelievable. Emotional drive can allow a human to use an axe and cut down a tree in a single swing? Please. Also, for such an anticipated movie this had some seriously questionable special effects. A lot of times it was incredibly obvious when we were looking at CGI, and that was incredibly disappointing. Still, don't let it control how you feel, have fun with the stupidity, and you're going to have a lot of fun watching this historical figure fight with an axe coated in silver.
