ONE SOLID REASON DAWN of the DEAD 2004 rocks

[darth los]

I agree.If you called anything else it would still be a bad movie. I'll tell you what though. Calling it something different would have atlleast taken away one of the main talking points for those that don't like the film. Try this out at home. Sit a bunch of people in a room and play both movies for them and don't display any of your biases and let them tell you which one they enjoyed more, rather watch and would recomend to others. I think the answer is obvious. DAWN 04'

I still groan disdainfully at the bitch who said Yawn04 was "loads better than the original" on the UK trailer that used 2 second clips of morons coming out of the cinema barking their sub-Paul Ross 'reviews'. ... Sometimes I dream of a world where such people are rounded up into camps and then pushed off a really tall cliff.

DAWN 04' Actully,I made my wife watch both movies.And without me saying anything about either movie to her,she told me she liked Dawn'78 better.And my wife hates zombie movies.

actually i watched em back to back and appreciated the remake more then, not because it was like the real one, but because it was so dissimilar that right after dawn i was watching something completely different and it seemed less like it was trying to be dawn. it wasn't just the name, if they set it in a college r something instead of a school i think it would have been much better received.

Dawn 04 kicks major ass. I wish it would not be lumped into the same breath as the original as they are two very different movies other than zombies and the Mall. How a zombie fan can call Dawn 04 **** is a mystery in this sea of ****ty zombie films. I try and not pay too much attention to Box Office results or film ratings but when you have the following IMDB 7.4/10 - Dawn 04 - 59,000 Votes IMDB 8.0/10 - Dawn 78 - 53,000 Votes The more votes, inevitably the score will go down. - The film didn't have too may flaws as is joked in the blog of 110. Yes, the girl going after the fog was lame, the CJ suddenly being cool thing sucked and yes, it has some flaws; NO ONE SAYS IT IS PERFECT! But it also is fun as ****. ONe of the first zombie films to take us outside the house or bunker and into the streets a bit. I love the original Dawm ,but the pie throwing bikers, the lame blueish zombies, the absurd sountrack score, the overall lack of sophistication of Romero's direction, the characters mostly carbon ... Both films have a ton to offer but calling DAWN 04 **** says something about your taste in films for me. You want more Contagium ? Scifi Zombies ? Day remakes ? Return remakes ? Resident Evil nonsense ? Come on. Take off the Romero goggles for 5 seconds and have fun with the film. It blows LAND and DIARY away and honestly ? I'd put in 04 before 78 anyday.

the absurd sountrack score, Hey now that Goblin soundtrack kicks ass. the overall lack of sophistication of Romero's direction, I like Dawn but, I agree there some scenes that make me go like "Wait hang on a minute?" I'd put in 04 before 78 anyday. If you mean for entertainment yeah but, '78 is defiantly the better film.

Yes, the girl going after the fog was lame When did the girl go after a fog?I think you meant to say dog.

God....it still amazes me how some people just REFUSE to believe that other people may have opinions that differ from their's. And then they throw out things like "Romero Goggles", "Fanboys", etc. You would think this tired and worn out debate would have been over years ago. Now it's just like TBS Superstation....nothing but re-runs of the same old sh*t...

I don't buy the idea of 'everyone would love it if it wasn't called Dawn of the Dead' though, to paraphrase for sake of argument. Not so much that "everyone would love it", but more a case of "not as many people would have been offended", because without the title name, there would be no direct comparison to be made with the original. Had it not been called DAWN OF THE DEAD then it would have been seen by the majority as JUST a new take on the zombie flesh eater genre rather than a rip off.

Besides Romero's films name you'd stuggle to name me 5 better Zombie flicks than dawn 04'. And that's out of the what, thousands that have been made?

When did the girl go after a fog?I think you meant to say dog. Don't be that guy.

[darth los]

[Mutineer]

[Bub666]
