See Shaun of the dead instead
Loved it
Good date movie…(^8
movie started off at a fast pace but in the end we are in a shopping mall, I’m not sure if you can get more cliche than that.
far fetched but more action than h o dead c fever 1,000 corps
Me rikey zombies! STAY FOR THE CREDITS!
I know a lot has been said about how this movie is a remake of the original 80’s Dawn of the Dead. I think a direct comparison however is unfair to this movie. Yes it does borrow some of the same themes but I feel this movie could easily stand on its own even without the borrowed movie title.
So how does this film stand up to the "other" recent zombie movie 28 Days Later? Well it’s not as creepy. 28 was more atmospheric but this movie was consistent all the way through instead of changing gears halfway through the movie like 28.
In 28 Days Later all of the initial chaos was long past. In this movie the chaos is in your face and is quite well done. Also I don’t think there were any gaping plot holes unlike 28 (how does a guy in a coma survive almost 28 days without medical attention and then just "wakes up" like getting out of bed).
Some people might complain that this has too much of a "Hollywood" ending. Without saying too much I’ll just say that the movie has an interesting turn of events AFTER the credits start rolling. I’d say 80% of the people who stuck around for the movie left before the credits ended and they missed a lot. Don’t be one of those loser 80% people!
Being a connoseur of zombies, I would recommend Night of the Living Dead (the original B&W one) as the best of the breed. The color remake is arguably as good but with a less bleak ending. The original Dawn of the Dead was somewhat interesting, but I think most people cling to that one only because it came first. I saw it recently and enjoyed it, but it suffered from pacing as lot of these movies do and the old fashioned slow moving zombies just don’t engender a sense of "urgency." Night of the Living Dead was best primarily because of the ridiculously poor odds of survival for the cast.
