First DAY remake review!

[JohnoftheDead]

What'd you mean life is short? Relative to what? Life is the longest undertaking you'll ever do! Life is long! Well we're not on this planet very long in comparison to the whole "big picture", anyways, all I'm saying is that none of anyone's precious time here on earth should be wasted on Kunt-agium. It's a total piece of garbage that I honestly can't fathom how it ever came to be.

It's a total piece of garbage that I honestly can't fathom how it ever came to be. It's merely a money grab off the name recognition from gar's film. I don't know anybody who didn't fall for it.

Well the reviewer warned us, if we were expecting anything like a sequel to Dawn04, that we would be disappointed. The zombies, running, crawling and dodging turned me off. Plus the fact that there is nothing here that even resembles the original and then when I read that when Bub as a zombie, that he won't eat his friends, I was like allllll riiiiggggtyyyy then. Goodbye to that one. If I want to see Day of the Dead, I'll watch Day of the Dead. Rant over

[MinionZombie]

And of course in their sh*t version he's called "Bud" and not only doesn't eat his friends, he's a freaking vegetarian! I can't believe someone got paid to write this crap and direct it, and be in it, and so forth...absolutely unbelievable.

[darth los]

That's in the same vien as intelligent zombies. They just don't seem threatening and thus not scary at all. And that line with them crawling up the walls makes them seem more like mutated vampires.

Or spiderman on a bad hair day. In fact, a story about that might even be better than this remake of Day. Do I sound bitter??? Nawww

Or spiderman on a bad hair day. In fact, a story about that might even be better than this remake of Day. Do I sound bitter??? Nawww You have a right to be bitter as do we all. The genre has been turned into a laughing stock. I posted in another thread that the future of zombie movies looks grim because gar is getting up there in years and probably has a couple of films left in him tops. There doesn't seem to be an heir apparent to his legacy, someone capable of bringing the quality, vision and passion to the genre that he does.

[RustyHicks]

Now that's a depressing thought but you're right darth. There is no one, at least we have his greatest works preserved forever, that's one nice thing

[MinionZombie]

I don't see the Zed genre as a "laughing stock", if anything, the "laughing stock" part of the genre was down to films like Return of the Living Dead and the Thriller video, creating the pop culture version of the zombie, as seen in The Simpson's and other shows where the zombie is spoofed. But it's far from a laughing stock, since when was it considered so? No more laughing stock than any other genre. Some people are too "half empty" and not enough "half full".

Of course we don't view it as that and laughing stock was probably too harsh a description. I meant that the casual movie fan doesn't take the genre seriously. They're not into it like we are and don't know what to look for. All they're exposed to are sci fi channel caliber projects like contagium and ROTLD 4-5. They don't know the joys and the depth the a propper zombie flick can have. (mostly talking gar) So when i talk in glowing terms about gar's flicks i get crazy looks like "you can't be serious right?"I just wished they were open to gar's films so they could know the joys of experiencing them like i do. But sadly, it looks asif the've been irrepairably scarred by all the crap that's out there. That's where i was going with that.

There trying to kill the zombie genra!!!!!! Its a conspiracy I tell you!

[darth los]

It's not so much a conspiracy as negligence to their craft. If you notice virtually everyone who makes a zombie film uses it as a stepping stone. Nobody makes it a pursuit of passion. I think they just do it to get on the hollywood radar and they're done with it.

[darth los]

:cough: Hack Snyder :cough: Of course he's guilty of that and even though i like the film i don't appreciate it at all. Zombies are GAR'S life no matter what other projects he might do. I'm sure after he cashed that check he never gave dawn 04' a second thought.

[MinionZombie]

I don't think GAR got squat from Yawn04. Rubenstein cashed in shedloads though most likely. I don't think GAR even owns any copyright on it. Has anyone noticed that GAR's credit is SHORTER than the other credits surrounding him? It's also harder to read as there's a more pronouncing "digital drop out glitch" or whatever they used to spunk up the titles a bit more, because not even MTV "keds" can stand a few seconds of text without something happening!
