Rare is a film this silly that's also this quietly clever.

Of course it's ridiculous and tasteless and grotesque. It's ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER.

The disconnect between intention and final product is a head scratcher.

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.

Bekmambetov doesn't expect us to take the premise seriously, exactly. But he doesn't seem to want us to laugh at it, either.

If you thought the American Civil War was about ending slavery, you're in for a rude surprise.

Succeeds in being an entertaining, exciting, and chilling genre hybrid
April 21, 2013
Rather than create an innovative style to complement the horror-history hybrid, he employs superhero clichés and hackneyed action scenes that only help distract from the ineffectiveness of the film's scant 3-D effects.

Somehow, you can't help but feel vampires deserve better.

As a tongue-in-cheek action mashup, Grahame-Smith and Bekmambetov have, for the most part, delivered an entertaining (albeit campy) historical retelling.

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.

Bekmambetov ... stages hilarious, imaginative, almost free-form action sequences like nobody in the business.
