Snyder's Army of the Dead (Netflix 2021)

[beat_truck]

They weren't great, but I didn't mind the first two RE movies. The first actually had some good parts. The third was OKish. The fourth sucked. The fifth (last?) was unwatchable. I shut it off within 10 minutes. It was just a bombardment of action and special effects BS with no plot to be found. AOTD looks to be almost as bad. It's plot look like a bunch of shit ideas that were thrown at a wall and half ended up falling off.

I was in it just for the Ella Purnell factor. She’s sweeeet

I'm not 13 anymore, and won't sit through a shitty movie just because it has a good looking woman in it. If that's what I really wanted to see, porn sites specialize in that sort of thing. I didn't see any in this cast that look that great to me, anyhow.

Geez, take a chill pill, don’t be so hard on yourself Huh? I'm not being hard on myself. Just stating an opinion.

I'm glad someone here besides me likes Dawn '04, despite it's cringe worthy moments. Haven't been around here much but I wanted to weigh in on this like I always did in the past. I just like Dawn 04 for what it is. A quick and dirty zombie flick that unfortunately used the wrong title. It's nothing approaching a masterpiece like one might expect of a remake of a beloved classic, no argument there. But if you can look past that there's some decent content there. I saw it in the theater and genuinely enjoyed it. I was pretty stoned and after reading the reviews here at that time I thought maybe that was the only reason I enjoyed it. So I saw it again(not so stoned this time) and I liked it even more the 2nd time. I bought the DVD when it released and still liked it like 5 more times. I'm definitely not a fan of the Olympic runner zombies and never really will be. But I still like Dawn 04 and anytime it comes on TV I watch it and enjoy it. That being said, Army Of The Dead was a different animal. I don't even know what it was trying to be. It was too much crap to even try to look for something to appreciate. Hopefully this isn't what we should expect from zombie flicks now.

Well, Snyder seems to be implying his latest masterpiece is now going to start a whole new series of films set in this Cinematic Universe.

Well, Snyder seems to be implying his latest masterpiece is now going to start a whole new series of films set in this Cinematic Universe. There's already a prequel and a sequel project underway. Reminds me of this story about a cart before a horse...

[Neil]

There's already a prequel and a sequel project underway. Will either of those explain the robo-zombies?

[Moon Knight]

There's already a prequel and a sequel project underway. Reminds me of this story about a cart before a horse... Who the f would wanna watch a prequel about the safe guy pre zombie apocalypse? Lol

[beat_truck]

Masterpiece?!? More like masturbation, haha. I'm sure plenty of sheeple will enjoy whatever crap he churns out next, though.

[EvilNed]

Well, Snyder seems to be implying his latest masterpiece is now going to start a whole new series of films set in this Cinematic Universe. Universal implied that The Mummy would start off a Cinematic universe as well. It's all PR and hype. Yes, there's another film coming. Already shot. But I doubt this will ever take off as a franchise.

[MinionZombie]

Will either of those explain the robo-zombies? Possibly. That whole thing annoyed me, because it's almost not in the movie at all to the point that it might as well not be in the movie! AOTD was littered with 'teasers' (or what Snyder thinks of as teasers), but it was just a tangled mess of loose ends. Sure, you can build upon something in further projects, but you can't just toss in a random idea and leave it at that. Who the f would wanna watch a prequel about the safe guy pre zombie apocalypse? Lol I was thinking the same thing. Like - who cares? And if it's before the zombies, how is it really AOTD anyway? It's like, hey, let's do a prequel to Halloween - but it takes place when Michael Myers is a toddler! Universal implied that The Mummy would start off a Cinematic universe as well. It's all PR and hype. Yes, there's another film coming. Already shot. But I doubt this will ever take off as a franchise. Oof ... that whole 'Monster Universe' thing was so lame, the way they went about it. And starting off with The Mummy of all things? And turning into basically a Tom Cruise action movie? What were they thinking? It just came across as arrogant. Like - get one movie done, and done well, then build upon ideas you had floating around secretly in the background. I hate all this "universe" talk applied to friggin' everything when it rarely fits anything. The Invisible Man (2020), in the end, turned out to be a solid flick. The problem was all the press talk about it beforehand which hammered home the 'toxic masculinity' stuff so friggin hard that it was actually quite gross and damaged my opinion of the movie. The actual film, though, wasn't like a sledgehammer with that stuff even though it was a considerable portion of the story. But the media loves to latch onto certain things. I read an article about the movie "Censor" and they made a real point of banging on about 1980s toxic masculinity, as if it was some major point in the movie - when I actually watched it there's almost none of that in there, and it's only confined to one character who's just a typical sleazy producer type. Thankfully the movie itself wasn't all wrapped up in identity politics and just focused on being a good fucking movie. AOTD had a boatload of hype, but it's also had a boatload of mockery riddling it with bullets made from its own stupidity and complete lack of internal logic. It'll be interesting to see how the spin-off that's already been/being made will fare by comparison.

This guys YouTube Channel discusses what could be the real world Biology of fictional Movie/Game Viruses etc and has come up with interpretation of what was caused the blue blood, robot parts and stuff in Zacks Film and I found It quite interesting. You can Also Skip the Films recap and get to the science part at 16.56.

[Daoyinyang]

Do you think Netflix has enough money to keep funding this film for Zack to flesh out his zombie universe? From what I can tell, I don't think it's a critical success.
