Am I the only one who find the novel "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" ridiculous and the film with the same name decent?

I haven’t read the book, but I loved the movie.

Never knew there was a book. I thought the movie was good though. I like the “300” style fight sequences.

You found the movie decent? I was underwhelmed (and I had pretty low expectations).

For me personally it’s easier to enjoy a bad movie than a bad novel. I think this has to do with how much time I invest in a book over a movie and that during a movie I can also zone out and just “enjoy” it for what it is where as a book I like to really get into it and be fully engaged.

I haven’t read the book or seen the movie so I can’t/shouldn’t judge, but at the risk of sounding like an old fogey, I’m not a big fan of history/fiction mash-ups. Of course, much of the history many of us were taught is fiction; nonetheless, I have more reverence for Lincoln than for the whole vampire thing.

I’m sure you’re not alone. Personally, I just laughed at the movie poster, and the closest I went to either was to watch the start of the (Asylum?) version on Netflix, which seemed so awful that I couldn’t make it past maybe 10 minutes. Must… stop… whew!

I believe the entire essence is frivolous. Mr. Lincoln, as I remember was a straight shooter politician from a country background. There are very few Vampires in the country…
