Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
alanshills Dawn of the Dead is a remake of an older zombie film by the same name but in my opinion, it is a superior effort- which is strange as most remakes are inferior in quality. The major change here is that Snyder has decided to make the zombies have the capacity to run, which is a scary thought indeed. As creepy as the slow undead were there was always the chance to outmaneuver them, but things are not so simple this time around. The usual zombie trope of a bunch of characters clustered together and hiding away is how the film goes about it but it manages to characterize the survivors instead of just using them as zombie fodder. Some scenes are terrifying and there is a palpable sense of tension. This is a great horror movie and a great zombie one also. Go watch it.
jeankhwt Writing's really stupid. Their major decisions were incredibly dumb and made no sense at all. Why on earth would they go to a mall to escape? There would be so many ways the zombies could get in. And shatterproof glass? Seriously? What were the odds? The mall's too big a place with different levels - what made them think that they could cover every single exit? And going to a boat was their best way out? Seriously? It could've been a concrete plan if it was explained to us clearly. But no all we know was that Steve had this boat and they were going to reinforce two buses as if they were all suddenly handymen and drive out to it to go to some random island they didn't even know exist.Then there's the zombies. My god were they almost hilarious. I had no idea if the movie was going for a comedic direction because it sure as hell seemed like it. I guess it was still quite entertaining, although for the wrong reasons. I could've stopped watching but I didn't. Probably wouldn't watch it again.
marcus-trygg Its a lot of zombie-movies out there. A lot of them are good and some of them are poorly made. This one isn't in the same category. Its to good. All the friends I have shown this for.. Not all of them even like zombies. They all love it.It's good actors, good environment, good shooting.. And a very good story. Other films like shawn of the dead, land of the dead, day of the dead are close but they are a bit messy. This one keeps the red line all through the movie.I would like a number 2 of this movie. Like what happened after all of this.
SlyGuy21 I thought the original "Dawn of the Dead" sucked. It was long, boring, not as funny as it thought it was, boring, it had no character development at all, and it was boring. Thankfully, this movie completely destroys it. Instead of just watching cardboard cutouts walking around a mall with stupid looking zombies for 100 minutes, the movie has a constant pace. The action starts within the first 5 minutes, and the pace doesn't slow down from there. The characters actually have personalities, the zombies are a real threat, and there are some pretty funny lines as well. Basically, everything the original wishes it had. There are only two real flaws, and one isn't that big of a deal. The first problem is Nicole, who is probably one of the stupidest characters I've ever seen. And the second is the ending that happens during the credits. Everyone ends up getting killed by zombies after they thought they escaped. The problem with this ending is that is feels like a troll, not nearly as bad as "The Mist", but it's pretty deflating. I don't like how the only two major characters in the movie are killed off-screen during the credits. But, you can avoid this by just not watching the credits, so it's not that big of a deal.
