Movie (Theater) - Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

 

 

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

My First Impression
Missing a lot of the book
Missing a lot of the most Interesting Parts of the book
Portions of the book that made my mouth fall to floor were missing

The actor who played Abraham did well. He remided me of a young Liam Neeson. He did look like Lincoln. Him and the axe were meant to be.

It's sad that the movie did not include both Abraham's wives and all three kids. His first ally was never mentioned. We see that he is studying for a law degree, but do not see him as a lawyer or much of his rise in politics. If you have read the book you will see the missing pieces.

Roanoke, Edgar Allen Poe and John Wilkes Booth are all MISSING! What? These are my favorite parts of the book! I was sad to see no mention of these events and people. I actually thought Henry was Poe when he and Abe first talked in the bar. The very end of the book which I thought was a great end was not even remotely mentioned.

It is a great movie as far as the battles. Special effects were amazing and portraying Abe as the Vampire Hunter, great. The character development not so much.

Gettysburg was in the movie and was definitely one of the highlights.
The Southern soldiers and the silver a good twist.

But all in all if you have read the book, don't expect the movie to be based on it. Sadly it is not.
