Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter "Brief" Review

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.  Before I start about this movie, let's look at this title and REALLY think about it for a second before preceding into pre/judging this movie.  It's called "Abraham Lincoln" "Vampire Hunter."  ...Vampire Hunter.  What are your first thoughts, right now, after reading that title?  What are you thinking about?  Because if you're first thought is to take this movie seriously and you're expecting something along the lines of Citizen Kane, then you're an idiot.  The trailer and the title tell you that this movie is going to be crazy and that you can't take it too seriously.

That being said, this movie was awesome!  I didn't say it was great, I said it was awesome.  You can be awesome and terrible.  Think about any failed stunt that someone ever tried to do.  You can fail (ie, you're terrible at it) but you can fail spectacularly (ie, "that was awesome!").  I'm not saying ALVH was a failure, it just wasn't Shakespeare.  It was pretty silly and ridiculous at times, but it was also pretty good at times.  Overall, a good movie.  I got to watch a movie about a president using an ax to kill vampires.  If that doesn't sound awesome then you won't like this movie.  If you've had a long week, a fight with your significant other, totaled your car, got fired, or all of the above; go see this movie.  This is a movie that will definitely take your mind off things.

But in a good way.  Not like Prometheus, where it took your mind of things but pissed you the hell off.  Film Crazy Adam recommends you go see Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.  It's worth a watch.
