Snyder's Army of the Dead (Netflix 2021)

[Neil]

I just read in Total Film and answered my own question - it's money and jewels etc owned by Vegas 'businessmen' and so on - so not government at all. If their riches are nuked they'll be wiped out, and the government doesn't give a shit about that understandably, but they want their greenbacks and diamonds back. So the heist makes sense now - finally! Yeh, that's sounding better!

First 15 mins

Why do some of the zombies only seem to walk while others can run?

WWE promotes Army of the Dead and we get a zombie lumberjack match. UFC promotes Army of the Dead and we get this.

[MinionZombie]

haha, fuckin' ay! Dig that cameo!

[Neil]

I'm confused, a human is fighting a zombie WWE style? Huh? As an advert for WWE or is it a scene from the film? Is Ken Foree in the film, or just in this advert? Huh?

[kidgloves]

Btw there are some fantastic kills in that 1st 15 mins. I'm hyped

Review - Average...

I think it's just an advert, dude. "Synergy" - advertise a movie, but also advertise your own business (in this case UFC or WWE etc) at the same time.

IGN's reviews aren't exactly consistently good quality and are often meme-worthy for their silly ... quirks ... and curious logic. Mind you, it's entirely believable that the 'border wall commentary' could be sledgehammer cringe and that it ultimately descends into lots of action and surface level characterisation. Snyder has rarely ever been good at detailed character work. Speaking of that review ... that clip of Tig Notaro ... ... wtf is with the dialogue? Over-written, much? Or was that improv? What is this American obsession with bluntly over-stating things in a super literal way? It's not funny. Indeed, it's pretty grating. - - - Updated - - - Mark Kermode's review ... summed up, he literally says at one point:

Oh dear... ...from insta dyno roar vocal cords, to a daughter selfishly f***ing everyone over, even under the threat of just tens of minutes until a nuclear bomb. To robocop face mask syndrome where not a single bullet can hit an eye socket or mouth. To characters just generally not giving much of a f*** about their existance. Just too much lazy/shallow writing imho. 5.5/10

The preview clip showed some of them like marathon runners, while others just walked, even when pursuing humans.
