My Thoughts:
This is one of those movies that my husband and I were split on. He enjoyed it, while I had a hard time getting into it. We did agree that the effects of this movie were good, and make you feel at times that you were watching real events unraveling, and not just a movie. But, other than that, I didn't feel that characters were giving 100% to their roles.
Did you see this movie when it was in theaters? What did you think? My husband liked how they intertwined real facts about Honest Abe in telling the story. If you are looking for a good movie to get you into the Halloween spirit or are a fan of vampire flicks, then this movie is right up your alley. But, if you are looking for an intellectual movie that will have you on the edge of your seat, this is far from it. The plot is foolish and the undeveloped cast of characters makes the movie drag. Sorry -- wished I had liked this movie as much as my husband, but just couldn't get into it.
