I always found Steele and his laughing clown friend to be more obnoxious than enjoyable; their characters were so over the top, it always seems to be unrealistic archetpyes.
I never minded the science / military contrast, but the BLATANT hatred they seemed to have for each other always seemed forced; like would people really be this mean to each other when living under the same 'roof' ?
I'd expect divided camps, but it would have been better if the 'betrayal' was more hidden. Like when they throw them in the zombie cavern, you expected it and it wasn't shocking.
I liked Logan. A lil goofy, but cool.
BEST. ZOMBIE. EVER. - Bub.
Can't argue too much. But it lead to the absurd zombies in Bland. Like EWOKS in Jedi, the beginning of the end of the franchise.
Then there's John's laid back philosophy on life, Sarah's struggle for answers, McDermot's constant drinking and humour ... man, they're all hugely entertaining characters.
Loved Sarah. Much better than homegirl in DAWN. She was believable and kind of sexy. I agree on these assesments.
Dawn04 ...
Moronic teenage girl who f*cks up a completely stupid plan by driving a truck after a f*cking dog - which the film's track-star 'zombies' don't even eat anyway!
I agree. Found it an unreal and ridiculous plot point.
Rhames strutting around like a self-labelled P-I-M-P of the mall and his tiresome "f*ck all y'all" attitude.
I liked it. All he cared about was his brother. He's a cop, cops are dicks anyways.
The sarcastic guy - f*ck off you dick.
Steve ? Loved him. Best lines in the film as mentioned.
Michael: Truck's not gonna make it to Fort Pastor.
Steve: No, forget the truck. That place is ****ed, man. Bloodbath city.
Kenneth: How do you know?
Norma: We just came from there.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Well, dead-ish.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Yeah, in the sense that they all sort of, uh... fell down... and then got up... and started eating each other.
Steve: Yeah, OK, I have an idea. We draw straws and the loser runs across the lot with a ham sandwich.
Steve: It's nice to see that you've all bonded through this disaster.
Steve: Hey, I'm sorry, excuse me... when you two fellas are done blowing each other, maybe Davy Crockett could tell us the deal here?
-
The woman who literally doesn't have a name - she's just there to get effed-in-the-A by sarcastic guy, who I'd thought was flaming, but evidently not.
Nothing wrong with some T and A in the film.
Racist, redneck, wears-no-troozas-but-still-a-gunbelt-guy - waste of space.
Fodder to be axed.
Soppy teenage boy guard - loser.
He was cool.
CJ - a right dick at the beginning, then becomes cooler later on.
Loved CJ
Sarah Polly's nurse - tiresome, she just annoyed the piss out of me.
Why ? I thought she brought the humanity to the film.
The sensible, calm, thoughtful guy who mediates between the two groups with common sense - I actually liked this guy a lot, he was the best character ... then he went along with their utterly retarded, sub-A-Team knock-off escape plan.
Agreed.
The pregnant Eastern-European woman - annoying.
Mekhi-whatever-he's-called-hard-to-spell-guy - again, a young gang-banging-like "f*ck all y'all" douchebag who holds his gun like a gangsta...annoying alright.
Didn't like this subplot or the Zombie baby. A waste of page and screen time.
Max Headroom - he's dispensed with inside 10 minutes ... oh wait, you mean this was the emotional scene? Oh ... *Zack Snyder ticks another box on his lame checklist, next up some sex to establish that people are in a relationship* 
A cameo if anything. Not following the stress of the role ?
Along with the other characters, all films have the characters that take up some space.
Dawn78 had the absurd ridiculous biker scenes.
Day had the extra scientists and military personell, all who brought nothing to the film and were there simply to take up space.
