Download Hindi Movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/qzzl1 -----------------------------------------This movie speculates that Abraham Lincoln as a child saw his mother killed by a man she stood up to. Years later Abe would find the man and try to kill him but for some reason he doesn't die. He tries to kill Abe but a man saves him and nurses Abe. When Abe awakens, the man, Henry Sturges, tells him that the man he was trying to kill is a vampire and he is a vampire hunter. Abe wants to learn how to kill them and Hanry teaches him and makes him an ax lined with silver, which is the weapon Abe prefers. Abe would then study law and move to Springfield to become a lawyer and to hunt vampires. He meets Mary Todd but Henry cautions him about relationships. Eventually Abe slays the vampire who killed his mother but before dying he tells Abe that Henry has not been honest with him. He confronts Henry, who doesn't deny it. Abe would come face to face with Adam, a vampire who plans to make the country his. Abe would give up hunting vampires, marry Mary and would continue his work as a lawyer and would become President. And when the Civil War breaks out, Abe learns that Adam is aiding the Confederacy and when it appears that they are close to winning, Abe must find a way to stop them.At the age of 9, Abraham Lincoln witnesses his mother being killed by a vampire, Jack Barts. Some 10 years later, he unsuccessfully tries to eliminate Barts but in the process makes the acquaintance of Henry Sturgess who teaches him how to fight and what is required to kill a vampire. The quid pro quo is that Abe will kill only those vampires that Henry directs him to. Abe relocates to Springfield where he gets a job as a store clerk while he studies the law and kills vampires by night. He also meets and eventually marries the pretty Mary Todd. Many years later as President of the United States, he comes to realize that vampires are fighting with the Confederate forces. As a result he mounts his own campaign to defeat them.Twisting history can be amusing and in some cases even insightful. Seth Grahame-Smith aimed for both with his book, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," but his film version doesn't exactly achieve the balancing act.
Understandably, history takes a back seat in "Vampire Hunter," but rather than go with a Gothic action approach to the vampire side of things, 20th Century Fox hired Timur Bekmambetov, who employs his hyper-stylized technique, which renders the film into a truly schizophrenic affair. It's a gritty revenge tale mixed with campy horror and philosophical undertones about freedom.
Newcomer Benjamin Walker was an excellent choice to play Lincoln, and had he been cast in a non-fiction biopic, he would've excelled. He makes a downright convincing older Lincoln, the president/man we know him as, but obviously, that's not the focal point of "Vampire Hunter." Still, Walker's not so bad with an axe. He will remind many of Liam Neeson, an actor capable of both action and drama, who had this been 15-20 years ago, would've been a great fit for the part.
The core of this version of Lincoln is defined by the death of Lincoln's parents at the hand of vampires. After saving his childhood friend (Anthony Mackie) from abuse, Lincoln unknowingly got his dad mixed up with a vampire. When that vampire claims his parents' lives, he grows up seeking revenge but knows not what he is getting himself into. With the help of another vampire hunter named Henry (Dominic Cooper), Abe trains himself with an axe to become a vampire hunter and dedicates himself to the profession despite being purely motivated by revenge.
Lincoln would rather moonlight as a slayer of the undead, however, and can't help but fall for a local girl in Springfield named Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and pursue other ambitions, namely studying to be a lawyer and flirting with the idea of politics. But delivering rousing speeches and slaying vampires is a tough balancing act that costs him dearly.
And that problem is mirrored by the film. With its priorities on telling the vampire side of Lincoln's life, it glazes over everything else in terms of motivation and ambition. We are to go entirely off of what we know about Lincoln from the real books, which ends up to be a big mistake on Grahame-Smith's part in his screenplay. Although he is mindful of the real Lincoln and cleverly twists the real timeline to fit his vampire mythology, when the film fast-forwards to older Lincoln in the final act, we have no real sense of the character and how he has internally been able to reconcile his public and private lives.
It sounds like that's asking too much of a film called "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," and in a sense that's true. As he did with "Wanted," Bekmambetov delivers action and gore that will smack a stupid grin on your face whether you like it or not. It would just be nice if there was a little more effort put into linking the different element of the story in a more cohesive manner. Doing so would've at least enhanced the stakes of the plot, which won't elicit any kind of emotion.
"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" doesn't take itself too seriously, but it overestimates how much its audience will appreciate its rhetoric as found in the narration. The idea of how history remembers events a specific way and leaves out certain details about the sacrifice involved is quite valid, but amidst the slow-motion baton twirling of an axe, it only has so much of an impact.
Bekmambetov's reliance on digital effects also ruins how effective the movie can be, as much as it does make it "cool" at times. Films set in the 1800s usually don't have this problem, but it is here. The style of the action is clearly valued over the style that would best suit the film as a whole. Even then, the budget allows for only a mediocre use of CGI at best, or at least that's the impressive some of the effects shots give off. In today's blockbuster market, you ca't ever afford to look cheap, and "Vampire Hunter" includes too many cheap-looking effects shots. Some sequences benefit from a cartoony quality, but most don't.
Butchering history (even literally) shouldn't automatically discredit how seriously a film should be taken, but the decision to take factual liberties should at least be based in some creative justification. The mere concept of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" seems like enough to warrant creative freedom, but the film just doesn't capture that spirit the way you hope something so absurd-sounding would.

Thanks for reading! Visit moviemusereviews.comThis is a good movie as long as you know what you are going into. It is not meant to be a historical documentary. Some look at it and see the name "Abraham Lincoln" and expect the movie to contain more of an historical aspect to the flick; however, in reality, it is a movie regarding Vampires. So, if you like vampire movies, you will probably like this. I read the reviews from others and they complain about how the book is so much different, well it is different. But anyone that reads a book and then expects it to be exactly the same (Other than Harry Potter Enthusiasts) has basically gone off the deep end. The movie does contain somewhat of the same plot, but it is not exactly the same. I like a lot of what some would categorize as "weird movies," and enjoy the occasional vampire movie as long as its not overly gory, which this isn't. Its a good movie, just know what you are going to see, not what some wish it could be.It's not nearly as snappy or campy as it should be-though its self-seriousness is its own kind of entertainment.Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker), the 16th President of the United States [March 1861 to April 1865], tells in his diary about his secret life that evolved after he witnessed the death of his mother in 1818. His father said that she was poisoned by wealthy plantation owner Jack Barts (Marton Csokas) but, 10 years later, Abraham learns that Barts is actually a vampire and sets out to kill him. Along the way, he meets and is trained by vampire hunter Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper), woos and marries Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), fights to abolish slavery, and, with the help of his boyhood friend Will Johnson (Anthony Mackie) and boss Joshua Speed (Jimmi Simpson), is forced to defeat the powerful head vampire Adam (Rufus Sewell), who is planning to take over the United States and create a nation of the Undead. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is also a 2010 novel by American novelist Seth Grahame-Smith. The novel was adapted for the film by Smith and English-born American screenwriter Simon Kinberg. Angered to find that the train is carrying rocks, Adam goes after Abraham, screaming, "Where's the silver?" "Right here," Abraham replies and plunges his fist, holding the silver pocket watch, into Adam's chest, destroying him. Abraham, Will, and Henry then escape from the train just before the burning trestle collapses. This time, when Henry asks, "Where's the silver?", Abraham reveals that Mary and the freed slaves have transported it out of Washington through the Underground Railroad to Gettysburg where it's already being fashioned into bullets and bayonets to use against the vampire army. The scene then cuts to 19 November 1863, the day on which President Lincoln delivers the Gettysburg Address at the cemetery's dedication. This scene then cuts to 14 April 1865. Lincoln is making a few notes in his diary, while Mary admonishes him to hurry up or they will be late for the theater. Henry tries to convince him to be made immortal so that they can fight vampires through the ages side-by-side, but Lincoln turns him down. As Abraham and Mary's carriage pulls away, Lincoln says in a voice-over: History prefers legends to men. It prefers nobility to brutality, soaring speeches to quiet deeds. History remembers the battle and forgets the blood. However history remembers me, if it does at all, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth. In the final scene, which takes place in modern time, Henry Sturges is sitting in a bar next to an obviously drunk young man. Henry turns to him and says, "A guy only gets that drunk when he wants to kiss a girl or kill a man. So which is it?" He nudges the man and a gun falls to the floor. No. The last thing before the "full credits" is the drawing made with blood. There are many sites where Lincoln's Gettysburg Address can be read, but it's a short speech, easily presented here. Lincoln said: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. a5c7b9f00b http://dayviews.com/scafbutmi/526816013/ http://telegra.ph/Shellshock-720p-09-18 http://handsimedi.webblog.es/1537255365/ https://www.causes.com/posts/4931489 https://bominpoduhti.wixsite.com/varacallwy/blog/tamil-movie-resident-evil-free-download https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-essandaringvel/download_power_rangers_ninja_steel_full_movie_in_hindi_dubbed_in_mp4/ http://doll-robots.com/m/feedback/view/SuperFly-Movie-Download http://www.kamitoo.com/m/feedback/view/Tamil-Movie-Ulfberht-Free-Download http://dayviews.com/romove/526816012/ http://afrog617.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-veil-malayalam-movie-download
