An immense disappointment when compared to the exciting movie promised in the title. Some overt style choices backfire and craft an image too full of contrast. Stark vampire hues make some scenes unintelligable. The few CG-reliant action set pieces could look nice in 3D but are few and far between. The film’s real fault is how serious the absurd concept is played. It is more concerned with the true history of Lincoln and has far too many exposition scenes for a movie named Vampire Hunter. This is especially unexpected coming from Timur Bekmambetov, the guy behind the 2008 fun romp Wanted. Still, the disappointing serious edge is handled better than expected. Performances are actually good here and the final action sequence is a fun 10 minutes. It is misguided but could have been a lot worse.
