    I'ts funny that you say that. I've never put much thought into it but now that you mention it , i watched them in reverse as well. How did that affect the way you view the series?

    weelll

    To tell you the truth, Im not a huge fan of Day. I like it for what it is, but as a stand alone movie not that much. compared to dawn and night, both the 90's remake and original, I just dont think its that good. Of course Day can always have the solace that compared to the remake of day(at least what I can see from the previews) its friggin Braveheart.

    I think you're right. I've compared the special efects in land to the ones from day and imo day's are superior. At this point cgi technology still looks too "fake" to be believably scary. It does have some uses though, like when they busted out of the mall in Dawn 04' and were surrounded by thousands of zombies. That was awesome and gave a sense of the hopelessness of the situation. Logan spoke about it, how they were outnumbered 400,000 to 1 but those are just numbers. Whenyou actually see it it's like

    There's definitely something visceral and gritty about it. If these neo-special effects artists had to do a flick without computers they'd be screwed. There's no substitute for the skills that Masters like Savini and Nicotero bring. Also, more than that they had to be really creative with their effects. These guys were geniuses. How many times did they make up something right on set?

    Fair do's mate. I know you got a healthy love of comics and Big Daddy is a comicbook-type hero, nootch.

    I didn't mind Big Daddy's character really, I just thought he was overplayed, that's all.

    Day is my favourite film. I remember seeing the trailer when me and a friend rented Re-Animator on VHS and being big fans of Dawn i got so excited. I managed to buy a (pirated) VHS copy when it hit the cinemas in the US (Copy came complete with drop-outs and flickers). I can remember watching it with my brother who asked 'What's this sh*t?'. Ah... happy memories. Still, the remake should be along soon and that looks GREAT!

    Sorry, did i say looks great? i meant to say looks like a turd sandwich. My bad.

    I liked day alot..The bleakness and just the perfect intreptation of hopelessness and desperation. In the other films there was a hint of escape, some sort of freedom and an attempt at a happy ending. I loved the setting and the charecters.

    Those of you who say this is the least great out of the romero films..what? Wut? wut? Land was okay, a no brainer but fine at its best. It was like a baby monkey wiping its ass on the floor that was romero work. Rant over. Dawn is my favourite with Night then Day then Land.

    At first, I didn't like Day of the dead. I just thought it was a little too bleak for me, but that is what makes it great, right

    After veiwing a few times over the past year, since I bought the DVD, just to complete my Dead trilogy, I have learned to like it more and more. I guess I've come to appreciate it. It is a great movie, the fx are awesome, it surpasses Land. I was very disappointed with Land, it just didn't have the same feel to it as the other three did. After one veiwing, I said, well that's it. I don't wanna see that one again
