The story revolves around Abe (Abraham Lincoln) who had
witnessed a horrifying event during his childhood. He was witness to his
mother’s death from a vampire bite. This changed his life forever. He decided
to end every “living” (dead) vampire and chose to become the Vampire Hunter.
However, this battle with Vampire symbolized a bigger battle which AbrahamLincoln fought and that was against Slavery.
To be honest, even Abraham Lincoln would surely have laughed
after watching this mix of history and fiction. This movie will keep you
engaged from beginning to end as you will find it difficult and sometimes
tiresome to distinguish between fact and fantasy. Life will become a lot easier
for you if you have read the novel with the same title by Seth Grahame-Smith as
the movie is a copy of the novel. Let us analyze whether the movie actually
lives up to the expectations.
The setting of the film is what is should be. The movie has
the perfect setting and you feel like evil spirits will jump from any corner of
the screen. The background is mainly old European. Sepia and black are the
predominant colors that are used in the film and add to the gory nature of the
film. Visually speaking, the movie is a treat to watch. There are lots of
fireworks, blood-tarnished fangs of vampires, gothic architecture; music which
is in harmony with the flow of the flick. The movie also has bats and more
bats. There is a lot of fast paced action even though the pre-interval half of
the movie drags. The blood bath depicted is very realistic and you actually
feel at a point that vampires are actually responsible for the blood and the
bodies strewn around.
Although mentioned earlier that the pre-interval half of the
movie is a drag, nevertheless there are many scenes that are actually worth watching.
For example the scene where Mary Todd uses Abraham’s hat as a tool to rise up
to his height in order to kiss him is innovative, to say the least. In this
movie, the leading lady (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is an interesting
character. In the first half of the movie, we see this woman desperately on the
look-out for extraordinary adventures. Early in to the second half, we see her
as the sire that has suffered the loss of her son. Later, she takes up the
mantle of being the woman responsible for the success of Abraham Lincoln.
The debonair, calm and dangerous-when-matters-vampire Henry,
played by Dominic Cooper, is by far the best vampire that has been portrayed
ever. Benjamin Walker as Abraham Lincoln looks bleak initially, sometime even
overshadowed by the characters surrounding him. However, things take a turn
when he becomes President. He essays the role of the President to the hilt with
his dominating and soaring attitude. Even he looks mesmerizing tired and lanky
eyes.
Finally, a word about Timur Bekmambetov, the director of the
movie. Timur has done complete justice to Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel and has
also added a few of his ideas to make a gripping movie out of another
blood-dripping novel. The movie could have been a bit more interesting if the
director had added a few slices of the popular speeches of Lincoln against
slavery.
All in all, in case you are looking for a movie which has a
happy ending, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is not the one to choose. This
movie does not belong to the meek hearted but for the one who loves bloodshed
and likes their vampires to be free from humanity.
