- This movie speculates that Abraham Lincoln as a child saw his mother killed by a man she stood up to. Years later Abe would find the man and try to kill him but for some reason he doesn't die. He tries to kill Abe but a man saves him and nurses Abe. When Abe awakens, the man, Henry Sturges, tells him that the man he was trying to kill is a vampire and he is a vampire hunter. Abe wants to learn how to kill them and Hanry teaches him and makes him an ax lined with silver, which is the weapon Abe prefers. Abe would then study law and move to Springfield to become a lawyer and to hunt vampires. He meets Mary Todd but Henry cautions him about relationships. Eventually Abe slays the vampire who killed his mother but before dying he tells Abe that Henry has not been honest with him. He confronts Henry, who doesn't deny it. Abe would come face to face with Adam, a vampire who plans to make the country his. Abe would give up hunting vampires, marry Mary and would continue his work as a lawyer and would become President. And when the Civil War breaks out, Abe learns that Adam is aiding the Confederacy and when it appears that they are close to winning, Abe must find a way to stop them.
- In the Nineteenth Century, the nine-year-old boy Abraham Lincoln witness the vampire Jack Barts sucking the blood and killing his mother. Years later, Abraham Lincoln seeks revenges against Jack Barts but he fails in his intent of killing the vampire. He is saved by Henry Sturges, who becomes his mentor and teaches how to hunt and kill vampires. Henry sends Abraham to Springfield to kill vampires. He gets a job and lodging in the store of Joshua Speed where he meets his black friend Will Johnson. Abraham also dates Mary Todd but keeps his vampire hunter business in secret. After killing Jack Bart, he calls the attention of the powerful and ancient vampire Adam. Abraham becomes a politician and the President of the United States, and sooner the leader of the Secession War against the vampires.
- Chances are that you've already made up your mind about this film when you read its title. You'll either facepalm at the sacrilege of turning one of history's greatest men into something base and tasteless, or you'll laugh your behind off. Regardless of your reaction, the film may surprise you. Director Timur Bekmanbetov has proved himself to be a master of orchestrating scenes of absurdity and chaos, with beautiful and awe-inspiring action scenes, and with serious demeanor. He does the same here, orchestrating the absurdity with a straight face and plenty of style to satisfy.<br/><br/>After "Wanted," a film so loaded with fantastic action sequences, I was hoping Bekmanbetov would deliver a plethora of inspiring new setpieces. Such scenes are few and far-between in "AL:VH;" there are plenty of short fights with lots of style and lots of gnarly bloody mayhem, all captured in flowing slow-motion photography. The biggest standouts will be the horse stampede scene, which somewhat resembles a crazy car-chase scene that swaps out the cars with horses and sends horses flying off in all directions (a very clever and inspiring scene, in my opinion, which is sadly marred by some camera shake and lots of dust on the screen), and the climactic train battle, which will likely be compared to the train scene in "Wanted," but I feel it's a solid stand-alone setpiece. In terms of action, the film delivers; it's still the director's tamest and sanest work, but what we get would be something comparable to an "Underworld" movie.<br/><br/>The story for this madness is generally sound, believe it or not. Regardless of how you accept the idea that Abe slays the undead in his off-hours, the film does a fine job of weaving historical accounts and personal history in with the vampire storyline. I'm no Lincoln expert, so I don't really know how much of the film is accurate (I certainly don't know how well it adapts the original novel). Accepting it as its own little universe, I felt it was generally successful. Half of it does a good job of setting up the vampire story and the other half does a good job of playing out the period drama, all in an earnest manner.<br/><br/>If there is any problem with the story, it would be in its consistency; the opening scenes whiz by really fast, before settling into a steady and pleasing pace during Abe's youth. The story then zips through entire years of the story, lightly covering the Civil War aspect and speeding it up to the climax. It's very choppy, uneven pacing; I suspect that 30-60 more minutes of scenes would have allowed the story to breathe, allowing the pacing to flow naturally and make the film even more epic than it is. What we get feels like an abridged telling of the overall story.<br/><br/>The film definitely has style. The camera work can be a little shaky in some scenes, but there are also a lot of moments with slick slow-motion photography. There are quite a few unique editing effects. Acting is generally not bad; I grew to accept Benjamin Walker as the title character, for he looked and acted the part very well. Writing is not terribly strong, but it gets the job done. This production has decent-looking sets, props, and costumes. As one other reviewer pointed out, however, the makeup department failed to make certain characters age the way Lincoln does, and it can be distracting. Music for this movie has some really awesome parts.<br/><br/>There could have been more to the film: more crazy action, more to the Civil War scenes, more consistency to the plot, etc. Still, if you're looking for stylish vampire-slaying action like I am, the film generally satisfies. I probably wouldn't recommend this to anybody looking for perfect cinema, or anybody who can't accept the premise of the film's title. For everybody else, I'd recommend checking it out as a rental.<br/><br/>3.5/5 (Entertainment: Good | Story: Average | Film: Pretty Good)
- I'm still not sure why I like this movie. I consider myself an intellectual person who genuinely enjoys history, yet somehow I hugely enjoyed this film about Abraham Lincoln killing vampires with an ax. Somehow, through either mistake or brilliant design, the makers of this film made this movie serious. It was not a goofy comedy with terrible CGI and terrible acting. Don't be mistaken though, this is a cheesy movie. Seriously, it has Abraham Lincoln butchering vampires, Confederates using vampires as soldiers, and the Underground Railroad transporting silver bullets for the war effort. How can you get this mix right? Then again, how can it go wrong?<br/><br/>It, thankfully, did not go wrong. This clever movie interweaves real history with supernatural bad guys. And these are no sparkly Twilight vampires, these are the true hunters of the night. It left the true history buffs in my viewer party both entertained and intrigued. Hopefully, if you are good at suspending reality for a while, it will entertain you too.
- Benjamin Walker, as Lincoln, may not have the gangly gravitas of Raymond Massey's "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" – he looks like a young Liam Neeson doing a younger Bruce Campbell, frankly – but he does have a sly, self-effacing sense of humor that feels ever so Lincoln-esque
- Abraham Lincoln (<a href="/name/nm0907548/">Benjamin Walker</a>), the 16th President of the United States [March 1861 to April 1865], tells in his diary about his secret life that evolved after he witnessed the death of his mother in 1818. His father said that she was poisoned by wealthy plantation owner Jack Barts (<a href="/name/nm0190744/">Marton Csokas</a>) but, 10 years later, Abraham learns that Barts is actually a vampire and sets out to kill him. Along the way, he meets and is trained by vampire hunter Henry Sturges (<a href="/name/nm1002641/">Dominic Cooper</a>), woos and marries Mary Todd (<a href="/name/nm0935541/">Mary Elizabeth Winstead</a>), fights to abolish slavery, and, with the help of his boyhood friend Will Johnson (<a href="/name/nm1107001/">Anthony Mackie</a>) and boss Joshua Speed (<a href="/name/nm0801051/">Jimmi Simpson</a>), is forced to defeat the powerful head vampire Adam (<a href="/name/nm0001722/">Rufus Sewell</a>), who is planning to take over the United States and create a nation of the Undead. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is also a 2010 novel by American novelist Seth Grahame-Smith. The novel was adapted for the film by Smith and English-born American screenwriter Simon Kinberg. Angered to find that the train is carrying rocks, Adam goes after Abraham, screaming, "Where's the silver?" "Right here," Abraham replies and plunges his fist, holding the silver pocket watch, into Adam's chest, destroying him. Abraham, Will, and Henry then escape from the train just before the burning trestle collapses. This time, when Henry asks, "Where's the silver?", Abraham reveals that Mary and the freed slaves have transported it out of Washington through the Underground Railroad to Gettysburg where it's already being fashioned into bullets and bayonets to use against the vampire army. The scene then cuts to 19 November 1863, the day on which President Lincoln delivers the Gettysburg Address at the cemetery's dedication. This scene then cuts to 14 April 1865. Lincoln is making a few notes in his diary, while Mary admonishes him to hurry up or they will be late for the theater. Henry tries to convince him to be made immortal so that they can fight vampires through the ages side-by-side, but Lincoln turns him down. As Abraham and Mary's carriage pulls away, Lincoln says in a voice-over: History prefers legends to men. It prefers nobility to brutality, soaring speeches to quiet deeds. History remembers the battle and forgets the blood. However history remembers me, if it does at all, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth. In the final scene, which takes place in modern time, Henry Sturges is sitting in a bar next to an obviously drunk young man. Henry turns to him and says, "A guy only gets that drunk when he wants to kiss a girl or kill a man. So which is it?" He nudges the man and a gun falls to the floor. No. The last thing before the "full credits" is the drawing made with blood. There are many sites where Lincoln's Gettysburg Address can be read, but it's a short speech, easily presented here. Lincoln said: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. a5c7b9f00b
