We now have wise-guy reviews like:

“Timur Bekmambetov’s revisionist take on the 16th president brings the evisceration proclamation” — THE GUARDIAN

“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ taps the wrong vein” — San Jose Mercury News

“Gettysburg redressed in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” — National Review

All I can say is this — If you like the premise, you should just go with the flow. You can’t take this movie too seriously. Don’t be a snob. This is a fun movie that you’ll have to suspend reality for in order to enjoy it.

Lincoln haters will whine about how he unjustly oppressed the undead, and that left alone, the undead problem would have withered away on it’s own, and how frankly, plenty of the undead fought for the living and were decorated for doing so.

Counting down to the arrival of the Lincoln-haters.

When history teachers start being overrun with papers and test answers claiming Lincoln hunted vampires, you’ll know it all started here...

From a review I read in the MSM paper, the screenwriter is a bearded marxist, commie. He said he read a lot of Lenin and couldn’t write about him as a vampire hunter.....(presuming he meant he had too much respect for the murderer).

RE: I don’t understand the fascination with vampires.

Vampires are about fantasy. Immortality and unconstrained sexuality where choices must be made and pleasure without guilt.

Isn’t that what a lot of people secretly crave for? In a sense they are living their fantasies through the vampires’ life.

Not a Lincoln-hater, but I didn't like some things he did. He took liberties with the Constitution that put him in league with the biggest of the big-government Presidents we've ever had.

On the other hand, he did preserve the union. I might have done differently than Lincoln, but at what cost? The States divided might have been ripe for the picking by a foreign power like Russia, France or Britain. We might now again be British colonists, but for Lincoln.

King Obama, King George, what is the difference?

We need to push the refresh button.

“What a bunch of BS. Everyone knows that it was Lincoln who was the Zombie.”

That’s why John Wilkes Booth had to shoot him in the head.

I thought he yelled something about Lincoln being a dinosaur after he shot him?
