Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - The Movie
At its release, the film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter has received a lot of negative reviews and, after watching the DVD, I have to admit that they are deserved. The film proves disappointing despite its spectacular trailer. In retrospect, I think that it would have had to put a flea in his ear: in fact, it is based on a series of waterfalls that do not appear anywhere in the book. Suspect. Except with the name Tim Burton prominently, even if it is "only" the producer, I thought it would at least be some good surprises.
I found the book among other nice by the way he portrayed Abraham Lincoln as a character tormented by the tragic death of his family. In addition, the story showed that his career as a politician vampire hunter did not take off overnight. The author has taken the trouble to describe the events that paved the way for Lincoln to the Presidency, making him a formidable threat to the southern naruto shippuden episode 127 english dubbed vampires. However, a film adaptation requires sacrifice. naruto shippuden episode 127 english dubbed But if the film format does not accurately render the contents of a novel, the writer (Seth Grahame-Smith, the author) has not made the right choices so far.
The psychology of the character was drawn big, bold lines, reducing Lincoln a great burning desire for revenge Nerd. His love of reading and his oratorical skills are barely sketched, then they played a crucial role in the struggle of the hero against the monsters. He might say "The pen is mightier than the sword," we feel that the heart is not there. And admit that the actor Benjamin Walker, is not terrible either: he plays his character with all the finesse of a telephone pole in the middle of a distribution that shows a certain professionalism despite nunuches scenes. Even the ax he wields has more character than him.
The action scenes are going too far, I did not ask for much. Vampires projecting from one wall to the other as if they had seen The Matrix, the rat race on the back of a herd of frightened horses, the train attack followed by crossing a bridge flames, naruto shippuden episode 127 english dubbed it always goes too far. Timur Bekmambetov, the director, has also prepared a series of Nightwatch films in which this kind of stunt was more appropriate. naruto shippuden episode 127 english dubbed Ironically, the characters Nightwatch also showed more subtlety even if they are flanked memorable beatings.
I loved the look of vampires scary reminder that we are dealing with monsters, not romantic creatures that make the heart throb of girls. But what annoyed me is to see how their supernatural abilities are constantly being defeated by humans seem to have spontaneously developed the same skills. The creatures are described as being faster and stronger than the living and yet the hero kills them with an ax. Worst are shooting scenes where hunters take the time to arm their guns while vampires running towards them. If crossing a football field, I do not say, but it is mostly a few meters.
Moreover, the construction of the film is poor, the ellipses are heavy, flashbacks are awkward and twists are naive. In short, it borders the total misfires and that's a shame.
You actually raise some points that have annoyed me, starting with the ellipses (especially in the gradual increase of responsibility for Lincoln), who are here too steep. By cons, if Walker naruto shippuden episode 127 english dubbed did not seem to me particularly convincing when he plays the young Lincoln, he fared better in adulthood. Remains in effect as Nightwatch / Daywatch of Bekmanbetov are much more successful than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, even if I do not have either hated the film and aesthetic choice. Too bad, however, that the author of the novel itself has failed to appropriately body scenario.
