?History prefers legends to men. It prefers nobility to brutality, soaring speeches to quiet deeds. History remembers the battle, but forgets the blood. However history remembers me before I was a President, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth?? Abraham Lincoln-in the movie.
He is one of the world?s most respected and coveted historical figures. Praises have been sung of this man more than several in his office. He practically changed the course of a budding nation to the superpower it is today. But what if that?s only half the story? What if his humility was just another door, behind which lies a secret that would have shocked the world?
The movie is based on a biographical comic novel of the same name. It depicts Abraham Lincoln as the politician we know, and secretly a vampire hunter. During this time, slavery is rampant, and slave owners are ruthless. Young Abe sees it as injustice and seeks to end the oppression of slavery. But within that struggle lies a deadly enemy. Vampires.
Let me start with the narrative. It sort of nudges you along, keeping you on the tracks, making sure you don?t miss anything along the way. It?s nice, apt, and simple. Plus, if this were a boring movie, I didn?t notice. The movie takes you on a fairy-tale like journey of a young Abraham Lincoln, the tragedies that befall him and the circumstances that turn him into one of the finest politicians the world has ever known. Lead actor Benjamin Walker did a tidy job in that arena.
It seems each vampire movie that is released has its own interpretation of the vampire myth. Well, these ones are way out of the norm we are accustomed to, but in a much more acceptable skin than those twerps in Twilight (What? Those aren?t even vampires by any standard!). It reminds you that the vampire myth is a lot more than just sharp fangs and blood-sucking. The action sequences are not awesome, but they are entertaining. Besides that, the axe-wielding hero is just fun to watch!
This is not a movie to be taken very seriously, but it has its moments. Actually, this movie is not unlike other Tim Burton movies. They took time and effort to explain the characters and their connection with each other in such a simple, yet graceful manner. It doesn?t take several lines of intrigue or unnecessary suspense to have the audience work their way towards it. The movie sort of just lays everything out. Like a table spread. My only gripe is the lack of comic relief. It is hardly funny, and it doesn?t try to be. As far as vampire movies go, this one is hardly scary at all, but the fight scenes are entertaining enough. How exactly does a vampire hunter become president at the same time? Go ahead and watch history as it might have unfolded.
