Review For Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter |
The violence quickly becomes numbing, and Benjamin Walker plays Lincoln without the sense of irony needed to keep the historical and supernatural sides of the story consistently entertaining. Bruce Diones-New Yorker
The movie plays safe by cutting every theme down the middle - a swing that's effective when splitting wood or vampire skulls, but dull when applied to filmmaking. Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly
Of course it's ridiculous and tasteless and grotesque. It's ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
The disconnect between intention and final product is a head scratcher. Ricardo Baca-Denver Post
Bekmambetov doesn't expect us to take the premise seriously, exactly. But he doesn't seem to want us to laugh at it, either. Eric D. Snider-Film.com
Bekmambetov ... stages hilarious, imaginative, almost free-form action sequences like nobody in the business. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
As a tongue-in-cheek action mashup, Grahame-Smith and Bekmambetov have, for the most part, delivered an entertaining (albeit campy) historical retelling. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant
A rancid hot pot of over-caffeinated action, choppy editing, self-importance and retarded scripting, Lincoln is the worst blockbuster in recent memory... Adam Ross-The Aristocrat
Frankly, if it gets kids talking about history again, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter succeeds where a lot of other films stumble-and even if it's kind of a lame duck, there's still a lot of dignity in that. Patrick Kolan-Shotgun Critic
What you get with "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is an interesting concept that has a number of structural problems. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter doesn't even come close to living up to the fun, silly nature of its premise. The film is a dull, humorless, ugly-looking slog. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered
With the most preposterous of plots, one would expect "Lincoln" to be funny, but it's not. It takes itself as seriously as a disease, and therein lies the biggest problem with this film. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com
completely ludicrous but fun. James Luxford-The National
While the film eventually feels a little exhausting, particularly in the protracted but impressive finale, it works as well as this material possibly could. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline
If The Matrix turned the humble spoon into an enduring visual motif for the cinematic dinner table, Vampire Hunter attempts to do the same with a fork. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey
Bekmambetov knows his way around supernatural movies very well but he just doesn't seem to have the sense of humour needed for this one. Tim Martain-The Mercury
The most important thing about enjoyably trashy, title-says-it-all action films such as Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is to keep everything moving so fast and on such a huge scale that nobody will care too much about how monumentally silly it all is. Jim Schembri-3AW
Uses cues from the life of the former US President and builds an unwieldy supernatural story on top of it. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
AL:VH is easy to dismiss and equally as easy to forget, but it does what it does well. Matt Neal-The Standard
Sounds like it was pitched at the tail-end of a particularly cynical, three-day, coke-fuelled marketing strategy session in between Transformers with Boobs and The Voice: The Movie... Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
What makes Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter so enjoyable is the extent it abandons so many established rules not just in terms of history and genre, but also physics. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy
There is just not enough substance to it. Lots of graphic, slo-mo blood spills, big battle scenes and gunfire, axe-wielding Abe chopping down the vampires, albeit often in a blur of action we can't really relish Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
Whatever clever literary concepts screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith has adapted from his novel, has been well and truly stomped Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
A funny, scary, and cheer-worthy adventure that somehow manages to make the 16th President of the United States a bad-ass action hero. Rick Marshall-Movies.com
Comes off like a series of forgettable History Channel recreations with some axeman versus vampire video game scenes tossed in. Editing is choppy; some transitions are sloppy. A parchment paper-thin conceit playing at being a feature-length movie. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Other than not knowing what's going on when the action gets heavy, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is fairly outstanding. It's downright ridiculous at times and extremely outrageous to its core, but is unbelievably entertaining from beginning to end. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
