“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, based on the very entertaining novel by “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” author Seth Grahame-Smith, shares the same goal as its source material: to entertain its audience with historical fiction that’s simultaneously well grounded with care for historical fact and wildly absurd in its premise.
As ambitious as the film and the filmmakers clearly were and as thoughtful and powerful as some of the actors’ performances are, “Snow White and the Huntsman” ultimately fails at reaching greatness because the script is inconsistent, and it leaves you thinking perhaps that the title of the film should have been “The Evil Queen and the Huntsman”, since those two characters are far more fleshed out and interesting than Snow White herself.
