    You must really dislike TWD then. I remember your thread about Survival and how shocked your were at how crap it was. Maybe your getting the shit edited version of TWD in your country like the Germans are.

    Have to agree with most of the posters here. TWD is far superior. I am in the minority it seems in that I actually somewhat liked "Diary". I found 'Land" to be rambling and pointless and as for "Survival" I have to think in the wee hours of the night when he is all alone, even GAR is ashamed of that turkey. TWD has flaws (everything does) but it is the best thing going on tv for some time!

    I Actually agree with you on diary, while its still not great its definatly the best of romero's new trilogy, its the only one thats coherant anyway.

    i also think diary is the best of the new 3....but that's not saying much. it's like, which sounds more appetizing: rotten eggs, spoiled chicken, or cottage cheese that is green with mold?

    Another vote for the Walking Dead.

    HOWEVER...I still love Land just as much. Diary and Survival leave a lot to be desired, of course, but I'll always love Land. (Perhaps its Dennis Hopper? Or the excessive feasting? Or maybe it being the first zombie movie I got to see in theaters?)

    Haha! some of the picture responses to this thread are pure gold! Brilliant!

    I voted for TWD, "Land" was a let down, "Diary" was pure bilge and I can't even bring myself to watch "Survival".

    Really? Diary Of The Dead didn't have any shitty CGI? And it being filmed in documentary style, a la The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield, makes it "old style zombie cinema" ???

    Guys,
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I_oV0qd_IY

    And once again: I really, REALLY enjoyed most of TWD. It's just not the second coming or anything.
    Come to think of it: neither were GAR's last three ... of the dead films, but I did find them enjoyable films that were way more original than what most of the horror genre has to offer nowadays. I mean in a subgenre riddled with clichés the old man is still trying to be original. Even at his most flawed there is still really nothing like a Romero Zombie film.

    And I never said that anyone disagreeing with me should have their heads examined, I just wanted to say that the blind devotion TWD is getting VS. the hatred directed at GARS's latest offerings are incomprehensible. I found faults with the dialogue in TWD and some of the (new) storylines like the Vatos-episode and the stuff in the CDC. The series isn't free of shitty CGI as well.

    Piss easy - TWD.

    However, this is not to say I didn't enjoy GAR's latest.

    I loved (but now "like") Land when it first came out.
    I've had a tumultuous opinion of Diary, but I'm okay with it.
    And I had a lot of fun with Survival.

    None of them are perfect, and none of them are (or were ever going to be) 'another Night/Dawn/Day' ... to have expected such a thing is entirely unfair, for reasons I've stated numerous times before.

    TWD though is the best thing to happen to the zombie - and shambler zombie to boot - since Day of the Dead. Nuff said.

    'Land of the Dead' isn't part of Diary or Survival. It's a continuation of the original series.
