ShangLuda Admirable film.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
RottNKorpse * There are spoilers in this review but the show is so awful my review is probably more entertaining than the show. *The Zombieland Pilot from Amazon is just "WOW" but in the worst possible way because it's just completely AWFUL! They took an awesome movie and then butchered EVERYTHING that made it good.1. Same 4 main characters, All actors replaced. Woody is irreplaceable as "Tallahassee".2. Changed Tallahassee's backstory for no reason at all and because of that makes NO SENSE at all as to why he is the way he is. The movie's backstory was perfect.3. Made a bunch of stupid jokes, only one of them landed but it was more of a contagious laugh vs being actually funny.4. Turned Columbus into a useless character who is just irritating. Columbus was meant to be a geek but he has charm and kept everyone alert with the rules. This version is a loser and annoying.5. a TON of Plot Holes!5.1: they repeatedly talk to the LAST OnStar agent trying to find people to join their group but NO ONE they find is ever in a car which makes you think "how the eff does she know where they are?". || why would OnStar even work? How could the system even work with one person...an agent can't maintain a satellite system. || Why is she ALWAYS there? How could she always be there if everyone around her is dead or zombies?5.2: Columbus stops to wash his hands...a water system is not going to keep working without people keeping it working...if almost everyone is dead or zombies then the water and sanitation systems would all be broken.5.3: Where are they getting all of the GAS? They continue on for months and months yet somehow never ran out of gas? Then decide to do a cross-country road trip with gas never being a problem.6. the show is PREDICTABLE and boring...they didn't do anything that I didn't figure out 10 minutes before. I watched the entire episode to write this review but I was hating it within 4-5 minutes. As soon as they explained who the sandwich guy was...instantly turned to crap.Amazon could have made an EPIC show with this IP but they failed in every aspect. The biggest failure is to try and keep the characters from the movie without the actors that made them.This universe could have been used in awesome ways, they should have created a whole new set of characters experiencing Zombieland and told a totally different story that took place in parallel to the movie. Maybe they could have had the original actors do cameos with that structure but is guaranteed they won't now.You could argue "they can't because of the guy's rules needing to be in the show" to I would reply with, "EVERY NERD has rules for this, there are websites devoted to that and they made up stupid rules anyway".Overall = 0.5/10 and I am giving it half a point because it made me laugh that one time. (officially IMDb doesn't allow me to give it less than 1 but 1 is more than it deserves)
James Bullard The show itself is not that bad, it is similar to the movie in all aspects except the "Atmosphere" given off by the world\cast. the movie was darker, more fun, more adult humor, and just overall more believable. the cast was fair, i think the new "Wichita" is way hotter, but that makes it even harder to see her with the new version of "Columbus" who is nothing short of the worst actor in this history of the universe, and while the other characters could MAYBE (MAYBE) replace the original cast, this kid is not the answer. he is too happy, too upbeat, his voice is too gentle and girly, it was almost like watching a 12 year old metro-sexual kid flirting with a 17-20 year old model.Overall any place you could see the show going is automatically ruined by the new "Columbus", and i do not see this show going anywhere anytime soon as long as he is a part of the cast.
unconquered_09 First of all, I would like to say that before taking the time to write a review, I first read a few that were written by others. It seems that the common consensus among the other people who wrote reviews was that the show sucked because it didn't have the all-star cast that the film had. I also liked the original cast (especially Harrelson), but obviously they didn't have the option of retaining those elite actors.All in all, the actors that they use for the show do a pretty good job with it. The guy that plays Tallahassee is almost as good as Harrelson. The girl that plays Wichita may be even better than Emma Stone was in the film. The only real downfall in the cast was that the kid who plays Columbus doesn't have that quirky greatness that we come to expect from Eisenberg, but he still isn't bad.The show is pretty entertaining, and the dialog is absolutely hilarious. Sure the movie may have been better, but overall I'd give the pilot an 8 out of 10. I personally cant wait for more episodes!
mrss-dhb I watched it with a open mind knowing it could not possibly be like the movie considering the budget/actors and etc. It should not be allowed to carry the Zombieland name. It is just awful. I could get past the acting as they do see to put in effort. BUT the writing is terrible. It tries to hard to be all thing, funny , bloody, kinda scary and accomplishes none of the above. Maybe if you had never seen the movie you could see this as some college level project in a acting class on making a low budget TV show. BUT most of us have seen the movie and this is just cashing in on the name and legend of the movie. Hands down the worst spin-off I have ever seen. I get it that this is the first episode. BUT usually you put your best foot forward and if this is the case with Zombieland the TV/Internet show than I will pass on any other episodes.
