World War Z (film)

[Andy]

finally caught this last night and honestly, i had mixed feelings about it. It could have been alot better! I still dont see what you guys find so offensive about runners, i like them and i think they where done well in this movie. Not the traditional zombie at all but im happy to see a break from tradition when its done well especially given the amount of trash there is in the genre, i recently came by a zombie musical! i kid you not... World was Z is a decent enough movie, the plot is better than i imagined it would be before i saw it and i think the zombies are done quite well, its a nice new turn and they are threatening enough but still have their weakness (no spoilers!) On the flip side, i thought the ending was abit weak but it does leave it open for a sequel i guess! Overall id give WWZ a 6/10, but i would like to point out that i actually saw the movie before i passed judgement!

I'll have to chime in with my own mediocre review I guess. I enjoyed it, but it left me sorta . . . meh. . .at the end. The movie was too disjointed to ever really get fully into. . .. . Never really found a pace. But the pieces here and there were pretty cool. I liked the nods to the book, but at the same time I was pissed off by them, because they reminded me that this was not the book. I came out of the theater mostly happy with the movie, but honestly. . .havn't thought about it much since.

I See what your saying clang but personally i would have been more annoyed if it had followed the book. Its the dawn '04 and the walking dead series thing, people moan becuase they dont stick to the source material but ive already seen and read the source material you know? to me it would be boring to just retread it. Each to their own though i guess!

[clanglee]

Yeah. . I hear ya. . . And the fact that it didn't really follow the book exactly wasn't a movie killer for me. I knew going in that it would have very little to do with the book. Just a niggling detail that annoyed and delighted at the same time really.

The difference between Yawn04 and TWD, is that TWD stays true to the material and the spirit even when it changes things up, whereas Yawn04 took a sparkly bulldozer to practically every single thing that was quality about Dawn, and replaced it with a bunch of obnoxious idiots making stupid decisions and that dreadful zombie baby bullshit. Still ain't seen WWZ.

[bassman]

You wanna get us started on Dawn'04? To be fair, that description fits WWZ, as well...

Maybe some of you would prefer this instead of WWZ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2081438/

"A bacteriological weapon developed by the US Government to create a super soldier - spreads an epidemic in a quiet little town in the middle of Eastern Europe. All citizens have been turned into infected zombies." What's an infected zombie? Do they have an STD or something.....

Maybe some of you would prefer this instead of WWZ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2081438/ Uwe Boll as the president of the US? Quality written all over it!

[kidgloves]

Uwe Boll as the president of the US? Quality written all over it! Aye. That's what caught my eye. Might have to hunt this one down for a laugh.

Overall id give WWZ a 6/10, but i would like to point out that i actually saw the movie before i passed judgement! I'll reiterate: I don't have to taste a pile of shit to know it would taste bad. The smell enough is a clue. Didn't have to see this one to get the hint, all the warning signs were there.

Still ain't seen WWZ. You're pathetic. No offense, just busting your balls, but go see it and give us a true review!

[MinionZombie]

You're pathetic. No offense, just busting your balls, but go see it and give us a true review! If I didn't get to go and see Iron Man 3 - a movie I was really stoked to see - then what makes you think I'm going to make the 70 mile round trip to pay to see a movie that I'm not excited about in the slightest bit? If someone gave it to me on DVD once it was out on home video then I'd watch it, but otherwise it's got "Sky Movies" written all over it for me.

Aye. That's what caught my eye. Might have to hunt this one down for a laugh. It's by those two Italians who directed 'Eaters.' So a few laughs are pretty much guaranteed.
