ONE SOLID REASON DAWN of the DEAD 2004 rocks

I've watched that more than the original 68 version, it's a great remake IMO. Tony Todd just rules in that movie. I love it too... The effects are amazing too! When that super skinny zombie guy is at the window, being shot, it's done so well!

It's the best remake of a zombie movie. Well, there's only 3 to choose from ain't there? (really)

[Bub666]

Well, there's only 3 to choose from ain't there? (really) OK,best zombie remake so far.Is that better?Because we all know that they will eventuality remake some of the other zombie movies out there.

The only thing I REALLY REALLY REALLY didn't like was Judy Rose - I wanted to punch her, or failing that, myself in the frontal lobe for forty-seven minutes exactly, then have a break of about a minute, then repeat twice more because she was so f*cking useless, or so f*cking annoying, or so f*cking Rambette, and then so f*cking useless, crying, annoying and stupid. Gah! When the car finally blew I was so relieved! ... Kyra Schon is still the best little girl zombie though, but yes the effects were rather spiffing, if only they'd been allowed to keep more of the gore (like seen in the behind the scenes stuff, there's one headshot in particular that would have gone down very well in the movie I think). It did feel a tad ... erm ... I duno, soft around the edges at times. There was something about it that didn't have the bollocks of Night through Day ... it's hard to explain, the best I can do is it felt a bit ... 'soft' ... still like it though.

It's funny. In the original judy was way more helpful and had more to say. Barbara was in a catatinic state for virtually the entire film. It seems as if they made judy a vessel for all that female panickyness.

I disagree... I was watching it the other day, and found myself bored.. I actually fast-forwarded through large sections of it... Silly characters doing unbelievably silly things at times... A bit silly And then ontop of that, there's the godzilla squawking zombies with contacts... Don't get me wrong, it's watchable, but it's far from a 'THE' for me... Funny you point out contacts, consider the remake of Night, Land and Diary had zombies wearing contacts. Hell even I had to wear them when on set, and I don't see what people bitch about, that aren't that uncomfortable. I actually ate dinner wearing mine, and kept them in until Greg figured we were finished, and he took them out. I never complained, never pissed and moaned, and they looked cool. I wish I could have kept them. I still have my zombie teeth. I agree,she was the worse part of the whole movies.I was so happy when she died. I am another who agrees Judy Rose was completely useless, something DAWN 04 didn't have that much of, although Dog girl was semi useless, she wasn't a main character or on screen enough to get under peoples skin until she went after the dog.

And then ontop of that, there's the godzilla squawking zombies with contacts... I now refer to them as T1000 zombies. I was watching Dawn 04 a couple of months ago and my pal starts laughing when Sarah Polley drives away from her house and her hubby, Luis, is chasing after her. He goes, "haha, it's like the bit in Terminator 2 when the T1000 is running after John Conner on the bike." And he's right, the scenes are bang on.

Somebody should take those shots and put the T2 soundtrack when the T1000 is on screen, over the top.

[MinionZombie]

Don't be hating on DAWN 04 because it is the better zombie film over LAND Ugh... I'm not getting into that argument again.

I always thought that aspect of the "runaround" zombies ridiculous. The fact that they have the physical strength required to run at a high sprint at a consistent level, but cannont smash glass to get into the mall for the food of their choice was just too much for me. The "runaround" zombies are just a symptom of lazy writing. It's as simple as that. "GGGGGGGGGGGGGG Go...."
