What are your thoughts on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter?
Here is the trailer:

I personally don't know what to make of it. I'm interested because Tim Burton is involved. Trailer doesn't really explain much except some cool fighting scenes and explosions.
How do you feel about it? Must see, video, or pass?
Must see for me. Love me some vamp action. Also, I think it would be awesome if John Wilkes Booth was a vampire.
I am intrigued. I mean, I have to give credit to the fact it is something different. So many of today's movie plots seem similair, but Abe Lincoln as a vampire hunter is new to me.
It was my favorite "Historical Figure becomes hunter of a mythic beast" movie since, Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter

I wasn't too interested until I saw the trailer. Now it's a must see for me.
I put of reading the book forever because it just sounded ridiculous. Just finished finally reading the book yesterday, and I'm sorry I waited so long.
EXCELLENT READ.
the Movie? meh...
I have a hard time not getting excited about a Tim Burton movie. I just like his style. I'll wait to hear a review or two before I decide if it is worth a trip to the theater.
@kamikazeken: Did not know it was a book. I will have to check that out.
@funkadelic78: What the hell did I just watch?
I'm holding out for "Lady Godiva: Starbucks Barista".
I loved the book and since it is a Tim Burton movie, I am excited about it as well.
@imshadow22: I'm more excited that it's a Tim Burton movie without Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter.
That's funny, because the theater standee caught my interest but the "trailer" turned me off. It was interesting at first but the trailer offered no context and the fight scene just seemed to drag on and on and kept trying to upstage it's own absurdity at every turn. If the movie doesn't have anything more than that to offer, then I've already gotten all I'm going to get out of it just by being amused at the notion of Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.
