    if you are a fan of GAR dead movies i say see it.
    sure it maybe a little more hollywood then the others, but it still has that GAR charm that we all love.

    I'd see it...

    Given all the contrversy over LOTD, its unlikely that you'll go into it with the kind of expectations a lot of us had when it was first released. If you're expecting an over-the-top zombie flick with a budget you won't be disappointed. Some of us that were expecting something on par with Day and Dawn came out of our first viewing pretty disappointed. On the other hand, many die hard GAR fans loved it from the start. See it and let us know what you think!

    I personally absolutely loved it, but for a guy who hasn't seen it yet the best piece of advice I can give is, well for one see it, but the advice would be is to go in expecting absolutely nothing from it. You can be psyched about seeing it, but don't expect to see anything in the movie - I've found time and again, as soon as you start expecting a movie to be a certain way, you're going to be disappointed.

    So clear your mind and watch it like that, then you'll get the best experience out of it and not fall into the trap that many folk here did - expecting certain things of it.

    I went in expecting nothing, I was just really excited to finally get to see a GAR flick in the cinema on opening night, and I freakin' loved it.

    If you have no pre-conceived expectations on how the film should be then you might get more out of it.

    Like Minion and others have said, for 20 years we sat and thought what LOTD should look like and some of us got what we hoped for, and others didn't.

    I felt let down and honestly I could go on for paragraphs at all the issues I had with LOTD. However, I think you should just plop down the $4.00, rent it and make your own decision. If you hate it, it was only $4.00 you spent to rent it, if you liked it then you could go out and buy the DVD for $14.99. It is already in the bargain racks at Circuit city. It should hit the $5.00 bin by this halloween.

    It's really a 50/50 chance. About half of us here enjoy it and about half don't. I think Minion gave the best advice. That way you can decide fairly which half you want to side with

    Myself, I liked it. Not the best of Romero's films by any means, but a good flick. Especially after some of the other crap that's been tossed at us(Yawn04). I actually enjoy it alittle more each time I watch it...

    There were various things about the film that I didn't like, but if you like this genre at all I'm sure you will be glad you saw it, just dont expect it to be like the previous three films. As has been said elsewhere, it's a much more mainstream film, and more amusing than frightening.

    I'd say rent it...and if you like it, wait till it's in the bargain basement bins instead of forking over the 20 bones most places want for it right now.

    It's the David Hasselhoff of zombie flicks--at best, a joke in the USA...and at worst, a piece of dog crap; but almost universally loved abroad.
