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.

I don't understand the fascination with vampires.

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...

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

the movie was bound to command a certain absurd appeal.

Nah. I'm waiting for the sequels:

"George Washington, Vampire Hunter"
"JFK, Vampire Hunter"
"Benjamin Franklin, Vampire Hunter"
"Woodrow Wilson, Vampire Hunter"
"Andrew Jackson, Vampire Hunter"
"Harry Truman, Vampire Hunter"...

“on the strength and novelty of the gimmick”

This gimmick is by no means new.

Have to admit this movie looks pretty intriguing. Best trailer on youtube is HD Trailer #2.
