Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (film)

I told you about the book, now I saw the film. Wow!, they just butchered the book. (Spoiler Warning!) I knew things where not going to be the same from the start when they threw out the entire part of the author getting the journals. They also skipped 90% of Lincoln's early years, keeping only the death of his mother as the reason for his hate of vampires. The biggest change was a stupid rule they made up of not allowing vampires to kill other vampires. If you read the book you know that Lincoln had vampires as bodyguards against other vampires, so all that was taken out. A very cool part of the novel was the ending with the assassination of President Lincoln and having him turned into a vampire himself...all out of the film! Once again this film falls under the old saying " the book was so much better". Read it, dont see it !
