ARE YOU KIDDING ME?


That's a great zombie movie. This rating is a joke. So underappreciated it's amazing. Zombies that don't kill without reason is a real step forward for a genre.

^^I see what you did there^^

This was a bad movie all the way around, I agree. The zombies are dead for the first 45 minutes, meaning there's no conflict/villain for almost half the movie.

Then they're so weak you can just kind shove them out of your way and they don't bite or scratch or fight back in any way. By the time the 1 hr mark rolled around and we saw there was 50 mins left, we were done.

Did ANYONE in the world finish this garbage?

Then watch Zombieland, idiot. Much action in there.

Oh my. I was sure the first post was a joke. How could it not be?

Zombies NOT attacking people moves the genre forward? How exactly? This wasn't even a good low budget zombie movie, there was nothing done well in this movie at all. Even the things they can control within a small budget were amateurish and lazily done.

And there wasn't very much action in zombieland, it was a comedy first and foremost... did you even see it?

Unless your 2nd post was also a joke... its hard to tell over the internet sometimes... and please leave the name calling to the children from henceforth. We're more adult and civil than that I would hope...

"How exactly?"

More ways of interaction.

reply

What? Between who? The people with people? The zombies interacting with zombies? The people with the zombies? I don't know if you could be more vague with your answer.

Actually, upon second thought, none of those have anything to do with the zombies not being threatening. You can have menacing zombies and well done character interaction (Dawn of the dead '78 anyone?). It just involves taking time to hone your writing. And skill. Neither of which came anywhere near this POS.

Although looking at your posting history, it's all coming together. You think all metal heads are dumb, that 'the usual suspects' is a poorly made movie, those who liked 'where the wild things are' are pathetic, and the movie 'rize' is racist.

I think we're done here...

Agree with everything TheBeardedWonder has said, oh and that other dude saying this movie is good is a idiot.

I hate to do this to ssseuth...but if you thought his FIRST 2 comments (and topic) was a JOKE...
well...
check out the DAWN of the DEAD message board (the 1978 version)...look at his TOPIC that already has 3 pages of comments due to his idiotic statement which says...

HOW INTELLIGENT ARE FANS OF ZOMBIE MOVIES?

After watching this film I wonder how intelligent are you, fans? It's hard to imagine that anyone with a brain would enjoy most notorious movies of a zombie genre.

I myself, as an intellectual, watched only ONE good zombie movie called Autumn.




***(sorry 'ssseuth' you brought it upon yourself...atleast its only IMDb)***

Hahaha! People calling themselves intellectual! How sad and pathetic is that?
Perhaps we should test that intellect? I would die to.

Hey, I suddenly have this great idea for a zombie movie, and it's quite apocalyptic:
"Zombies vs intellectuals."
This is a movie where a deadly virus breaks out and intellectuals are intellectually devoured by hunger for knowledge, only to find themselves trapped in a paperback book-store surrounded
by undead ancient philosophers, poets, writers, mathematicians and scientists from greek times till 1980 (not much of worth after that). The poor intellectuals strive to survive by looking for clues in some of the books. Those who think that have the "answer to the infection" and run away are subjected to some quick questionnaire by one of the most decomposed zombies (my hunch is that it was Socrates) and only by responding properly will they be spared with life. Will they be able to make it? Will the concerned self-addressed intellectual Sseuth something be able to respond to all of the deadly questions?

Such suspense is killing me now.

LOL thats why most of these folk don't like it.

there isn't enough gore guts and Brain eating for them.
its too celebral for most Zombie fans

reply

YOU heard it folks...straight from the intellectual himself...."ssseuth".

If HE likes this movie more than Dawn of the Dead, well, your argument is invalid.

reply

I'm not going to say it was great, I'm not going to say it was better than Night/Dawn/Day, and the remake of Dawn, but I honestly felt it was an interesting take on the genre. The zombies looked decent, better than any of the zombies from the first 3 Romero films with Day having the worst with all the fake teeth thrown in. Not that this one didn't have it, but it looked a lot better than the band girl and the first girl wrangled in Day.

While it was OK, it just plodded along. They never built enough tension with the characters, which honestly might have been more realistic. Someone pisses you off, you leave, but it just needed more than had to offer.

I love how the zombies attempt to kill their victims by patting them to death. Like the scene where the Dexter was leaving the homeless man's house and a horde of zombies come through the door. Dexter just walks through the crowd while the zombies barely touch him. Next thing we see is him on his bike. Unharmed and not infected.
