So I finally watched the movie Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter which it is based off the book. So I though I would do a book VS movie review.
So if I had never had read the book, I would have thought this movie was good. But I have to say I was really disappointed that the movie really didn't follow the book at all. The only thing that the two have in common was that Lincoln hunted and killed vampires. Not only did the movie not follow any of the key plot changers in the book but it was incredibly historically inaccurate.
While both the movie and book are works of fiction, I just felt the book tied in actual historical facts better than the movie. Now with that being said, the movie was really good and exciting. But another thing that was also different was the portrayal of of Lincoln in the movie made him appear supernatural. Which in the book that was not the case.
When I first started watching the movie I had a notepad that I was jotting down things but once I had two pages filled up I realized that it was useless because there was nothing similar between the two.
All in all, in this VS I have to go hands down with the book. If the two weren't related and the movie wasn't promoted as based off the novel it would be a different story but the book was so much more. It had more details, better story lines, and just kept a person interested.
