    Dawn (Original)

    IS the original one better than the remake? I have seen the remake but not the original. I for one loved the remake and all the extra features.

    Well, it depends on who you ask, but a landslide of people coming your way are about to tell you that the Original was undoubtedly better (and they'll be right ).

    But I did love Dawn 04. Awww, Christ, here comes another one of these threads. ...





    EDIT: PS--Why haven't you given the original Dawn a try yet, especially if you like the remake so much? Give it a shot and keep an open mind.

    It is unusual that you took the time to come to and register on this site, yet have not seen Dawn78. I too liked the "remake" of Dawn, however, it does not exist in the same universe as Romero's movies. The universe that Romero created is far superior to the one that exists in the Dawn remake. The original movie seems a little dated, but if you can enjoy a movie without outdated clothing styles, etc. bothering you, then you should definately check out the original, and you will be surprised how it grabs a hold of you and makes you love it. It is without a doubt one of the best films of all time.

    somehow i don't have the feeling this guy is going to 'get' the original.

    i have a vision of this statement: "ohhhh the blue paint, ohhhh the bell bottoms, ohhhh the music...blab blah blah."

    The remake sucks. But it's entertaining.

    Yup...

    I have a feeling that if you REALLY enjoy the MTV, teenager remake....you won't like the original. But there's always the hope that you still like good films ...

    The original is almost hypnotizing. It keeps your attention.

    The re-make-flake is a flick you can chat on your cell phone and finger your iPod during the movie and not miss a thing.

    as a film its more associated with the likes of 28 days later- entertaining but really don't touch the GAR films for social message and style

    I found 28 Days Later to be both clever, and scary. Much like Romeros films.

    Obviously, 28 Days Later is not a zombiefilm, but I would still place it in the "zombie film" category. If that makes any sense.

    Dawn 04 had the running zombies, and running zombies look like running people... not like dead coming back to life.

    28 days later was about infected people, and not the dead.

    Of course the running zombie is a way to spice up the horror genre for the ADHD generation of young kids, who play or watch dozens of hype games and movies.

    Movies now aday lack the feel of horror, and lean toward action.
    Many tend to mistake "thrillers" for "horror".

    Hey, that's my old people rant for today.

    Yep, it wasn't a remake.. it was another movie all it's own.

    I liked both... Dawn of the Dead ('78) is more entertaining to me, and I can watch it daily, but Dawn ('04) is more of a popcorn movie that I watch every so often.

    I did like the way Dawn -'04-- started-- the first 15 or so min were great-- the rest of the movie-- so-so.

    Watch what you dig...

    The end is f*cking nigh!!!
