Dawn of the Dead

[Ninjavenom]

Holy crap, go see it!

It has Richard Cheese!

It was way fun. Way way fun. Buckets of blood and guts! And lots of awesome zombie/people kills! I loved it!

Exploding heads!

I can't ruin anything for you! Just see it!

Zombie overload!

[Snatchtastic]

And stay for the credits. It's fun to the very end.

Right now all I want to do is buy more shotgun ammo for my mossberg.

This movie is out of control. So Good.

[DamnthatDavid]

I going to see it in 2 hours.

[rainbowbrite]

My brother said it sucked. He works at the movie theater also.

Not that, that has anything to do with it.

[rainbowbrite]

Except for the fact that i get to see movies for free!

[ArrowX]

Is the Bigot Cop Still In IT!?!?!

And the Black SWAT guy from the origional was supposed to do a cameo as the 1legged preist

[McWorld]

I can tell you one thing Zombies don't sit and wait for you to notice them they just come at you. Its an actiion movie not a horror movie

[DamnthatDavid]

Some minor plot holes.
Still, one of the best Zombie Movies I have seen, if not the best.

28 Days, and Resident Evil are slow and boring compard to DotD.

Still, I had thought that the baby might pull off a few "Brain Dead" type scenes mixed with the movie "Carnivore" dino baby jumping out of the stomach type scenes. On hindsight, the directors proberly knew everyone was waiting for this, and left it out on purpose.

(Psst, that baby wasn't black)

[O71394658]

Was surprisingly good. Nice action, although the sequence of who was going to die was mighty predictable.

The movie's as much of a pure action movie as it is a horror movie. Had a lot of funny parts as well. Definitely much better than 28 Days Later.

[Matt Harty]

They did a really good job with the guy on the other roof. The fact that they could sprint like olympic runners was awesome, and the terror scene in the beggining was great.

So what happened during the credits? I was leaving the theatre and I saw people on a boat but I got shoved everytime I tried to look back. Was it good?

[Mr. Vagiclean]

it was just a little twist when they get *there*, kinda sucks for them


Movie was great, i was entertained the whole freakin time. How great was that part when Johnny Cash singing "The man comes around". It did a great job giving a real sense of watching the country go down with zombie infestation

[the_dudefather]

****spoilers****


they are on the boat, it has several sipplets of video camera recordings, of the guy who owned the boat with a few girls, then it moves to our plucky heros surviving the high seas, food goes rotten, fuel runs out, but they get to the island, but there are zombies there, presumably they die

anyways, now for my movie opinions, i actualy thought it was pretty good, not as good as the original but still good.

note the bruce cambell look-a-like guy who wields a chainsaw and acts a bit like ash ( and the old fat zombie woman who looks a lot like henretta from evil dead 2)

[Mr. Vagiclean]

she and the baby zombie made me think of Dead alive

[Mockery]

Someone in my Blog just asked me about this flick so I'll post my thoughts on it here too...

Dawn of the Dead is worth seeing once in the theatre I'd say. Better than most of the horror movies in recent years (ie: Cabin Fever, House of the Dead, etc.) but it still left much to be desired. There were some pretty funny moments in the flick, the zombie make-up was good, and they included a Richard Cheese song (he's one of my favorite people in the music industry today) so that was nice. Still, I didn't think the death scenes in the movie were all that great and the only similarity to the original movie is that it took place in a mall. Other than that, the story is completely different. So I guess it's good that they didn't butcher the original since they didn't even really try to copy it.

In the end, go see it with a couple friends in the theatre and you'll get a few laughs either way whether you like it or not. I just hope this film leads to a new Romero zombie flick that he directs himself. George needs to come out of the woodworks and show these kids how it's really done.

[the_dudefather]

he wrote a script for resident evil and they chucked him out. i mean he did create the inspiration for resident evil, but they didnt care.

a lot of the zombie sequences ysed some very '28 days later' style shaky camera effects and the shadows of the zombies in the car park is very similar to the shot the the zombies in the underground car passage in 28 days later, i can go on for ages talking about other movies that influenced it but i couldnt be arsed.

i suppose the 'running zombie' effect is more a plot device than anything, as it makes it more plausable that the entire country can be taken over in a matter of days.

[ArrowX]

the Beginning In the Womans Street Was Funny Theres an overturned carin thescene but the problem is Theres nothing around it that could have Overturned it lol

And the reason the Zombies can run is becase most infected are only bitten in the arm or shoulder. thus Still have the muscle capacity to run unless their legs are gnawed to the bone.

[Matt Harty]

I don't understand how the infection could make it to islands anyways. Unless you somehow transported an infected person to each one

[Ant10708]

Its a horror movie. Its not suppose to make logical sense.

Maybe they can swim as fast as they can run.

[Matt Harty]

They would've swam after the boat at the end. ;p

Well I guess it's fine since it was during credits, but I hate when movies end with stupid stuff like that.

[Drev]

Zombie Fish!

[DamnthatDavid]

heh.

They in God Forsaken Wisconsion. A hell hole without the Zombies.

All they had to do, was camp out until Winter. The Zombies generate no heat. So when the harsh Wisconsion winter comes, they all just freeze where they stand. Total lack of movement.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I thought it was pretty good. I liked it when they guy across the street was snipering the zombie movie stars. My only problem with it is they never really showed how the girl turned into a zombie to kill her parents.

[Ninjavenom]

I expected more blood. Like buckets and buckets like when the first guy dies, that was my only complaint gore-wise.

And Anna didn't fucking die. Fuck Anna right in her fucking fuck ear. I hated her, and i knew she wasn't going to die, but i prayed the whole movie. That dumb bitch could've gotten everyone killed several times.

But other than that, great movie. :D

[Cap'n Crunch]

Yeah, that cunt with the dog. I don't understand how they took the boat without the keys. In the one part the sarcastic asshole said he had the boat, and he took the keys with him. But later on he died because he turned into a zombie. I don't remember anyone picking up the keys at all. :/

[Spooky]

I saw it twice yesterday. The original is my favorite movie of all time.

If you look at it as a remake, expect to be pissed. If you look at it as a zombie movie in it's own right, it's great.

Alot of the subtle nods to not just the original Dawn of the Dead, but the whole dead trilogy, may have been hard to notice, but still kicked ass.

It also seemed like the more decayed zombies didn't move as fast, but still ran. I mean, I'll always be more of a fan of slower zombies, makes more sense to me, but I guess it makes sense, if I was hungry enough, I'd run to catch food.

And they were in wisconsin, so i'd assume the island in question is in the great lakes somewhere, meaning it wouldn't be too hard for it to be infected by the time they eventually got out of the mall, although they don't reveal how long they're in there for.

all in all, see it. and see it again to make sure you didn't miss anything.
