    I would have liked to have seen Dawn04 the length of the original Dawn, then maybe the characters would have grown on us more which is what much of the length of the original was for. But I fail to see where the characters of Dawn04 were that cardboard (most of em anyways) and they were all head and shoulders above AND better than those created by THE WORSHIPPED ONE for Land of the Dead. Talk about worthless, stale characters.....I would have loved to bitch slapped Riley...

    This attitude always confuses me whenever it's said by someone...this is Homepage of the Dead ... a website dedicated specifically to GAR's zombie films.

    Whoops, my bad.

    It's just that, as I insinuated in my reply, that I've seen it used before in an arsey manner rather than an honest manner.

    Dawn of the Dead 2004 was f*cking pathetic as the remake of Day will be. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. Why buy a sh*t sandwich and then complain about the smell when you know the contents came out of someone's ass?

    Well then Zack Snyder did a perfect job of showing what is exactly todays culture and exactly how the majority of Americans are acting.

    Everything everyone is bitching about is exactly what is wrong with todays culture and what is on display 24/7. If that isn't truth in motion pictures I have no idea what is...

    It was the first thing I thought of when I first saw the movie ... and The A-Team was way better as well.

    At least they pitied fools, rather than went along with their retarded "let's go to a boat to sail to an island that's inhabited by zombies".

    In a way, you're right. But in a film it doesn't work because you have to be able to invest in the characters. In Dawn04 that just doesn't happen. Cardboard.....

    I was hoping this was just a trend, but it seems that movies which lack character development is fast becoming the norm. As has been said on this forum before, the target demographic these days simply does not have the patience.

    With certain movies (like Zack Snyder flicks ), sure, there's bollock-all character development, unless it involves sex.

    However, just look at Batman Begins, or the Spider-Man movies - lots of character based stuff in those, heck, look at Pirates 3, the middle hour is basically all talking!

    So I don't think the situation is quite as bad as you might think, but yes, there are morons in the world and there are moronic producers/movies/viewers/whatever out there...

    Each generation has its lowbrow entertainment and motion pictures have had portions of their their industry fall into this category since the medium came into being. It's one piece of what movies are about, but just one piece.

    I'd have to agree with Mz and Aces. I guess now that i think about it this happens with music as well. Every era has it's great songs and then there are "pop" songs which just are tailored to the target teenie bopper/younger demographic of their time. These are the same songs that 10 years later you're like "WTF made this song so popular? I just don't get it." I guess these are the "pop" movies of our time.

    Indeed, these films won't last the test of time, and indeed, Yawnorama04 will fade into the distance in due time, but GAR's superb original will remain a cinematic milestone, a key note in the annals of horror history.
