Yeah, this movie... well, it was something! It was totally ridiculous, and truly a terrible movie, but my god was it fun. So yeah, fun factor does it again with this one.
Four stars for a terrible movie?

Yeah, it's not a four star movie, but that's just my interpretation of how the star rating works on here. I think of three stars as just a mild vote either way, but my yay for this isn't a mild one. It was terrible, but not in a way that ever made me dislike the movie. So bad, it's good, basically.
I'll be seeing this tomorrow. Normally I would wait for dollar theater for this type.
We need half stars btw :P
Anyways this movie looks hilarious in a really bad way. Sounds like a good rental to view with friends, booze in hand, just so you can all make fun of a movie titled "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."

I have seen some mentally challenged films in my day, but good grief. 'Rediculous' isn't a strong enough word.
Some would say it's not even a word! :PQuoting Skitch (view post)
I'm finding it hard to get any sort of consensus on whether people aren't really liking this because it's a bit too intentionally silly and fails to hold much weight, or it takes itself way too seriously and doesn't have enough fun with its premise as a result. I've heard both responses for it, but I guess it just comes down to what people actually wanted or expected going in.

This, pretty much. I never would have imagined that a movie about Abraham Lincoln fighting vampires could be so...dull.

In my defense, it was 4 a.m....posted from my phone...after a few drinks...lol
Haha it's alright. When people spell it like that, I tend to read it like "reeeediculous!", so in this case it sort of emphasized the tone of inconceivable you thought the movie was.Quoting Skitch (view post)

It reeeeeeally was lol
Fun. Just like a Sommers movie.
I like a lot of the overall ideas in this, having vampires be this allegorical, immortal, all consuming evil in the world behind things like slavery, the way they play with the idea of turning within the Lincoln family, the call-back with Dominic Cooper at the end, and the action sequences tend to have a cool design to them (and if the CGI was better in places like the big horse stampede, it could have been really awesome instead of distractingly rubbery), but overall it just didn't all mesh together into an enjoyable movie to me.
This is more of an interesting failure, and now I expect Spielberg's film to be a mostly uninteresting success.

How disappointing. A movie like this shouldn't take itself so seriously. It doesn't have to be on the nose funny, but, it simply is too serious for its own good considering all the other vampire movies out there.
I'm pretty proud of this post.Quoting number8 (view post)
