Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter: Press reviews

'loud, fast and crunchy — and I suspect it's going to slay audiences at the box office'

'only the very solemn could object to this bizarre adventure dreamt up for the 16th president.'

'It's one long, fevered montage which rushes from decade to decade, pausing only for its overblown, CGI action sequences.'

'there is, no question, something satisfying — as the pleasure of the story's pop conceit hits your deep historical outrage — about watching Lincoln decapitate a slave-trading ghoul, at least the first few dozen times.'

'It's at least half-an-hour too long but I nevertheless enjoyed the fights during a horse stampede and on a train crossing a burning bridge.'

'a sloppy and alienating affair'

'It's all surpassingly silly'

'neither as good nor as bad as its laugh-out-loud trailer suggests.'

'"Come on dear," tuts Mrs Lincoln towards the end. "We'll be late for the theatre!" Arrive two hours late for Bekmambetov's overcooked noise generator and you'll have a fantastic night.'

'Staking a claim as the year's worst film'
