"Dawn of the Dead" (2004) Really, Really Sucks...

[solinvictus]

I hated it as it was long and ultimately pointless.

[ET Awful]

1. It's a zombie movie OF COURSE it was long and pointless :)

I still liked it. :)

4. The point of zombie movies is to entertain me for two hours or so.

This one failed miserable. It was an enormous was of time and money, both on my part and the people who made the thing.

Shaun of the Dead was far better as a horror, zombie movie, and that was even a tongue in cheek parody.

3. Yes it is a disgrace to the original.

Zombies cannot run, the whole thing was ridiculous. The original is a classic.

7. They were very athletic Zombies.

And while the movie had some action adventure, and a big explosion for the trailer, it wasn't really very interesting.

5. The original was somewhat funny..

and poked fun at consumerism. This one was just vapid.

6. Shaun of the Dead made up for it though...

Loved that movie, its much better than 90% of the zombie movies ever made.

8. Absolutely !

9. But the commercial scared the crap out of me

When that kid hopped back up, I jumped out of my pants! Yep, though, the movie was tedious, way tedious...

10. I don't like the athletic zombies but OMG! I love that movie!!!

I even own it. And yes, Shaun of the Dead rocked!

11. Oh and one more thing...I have seen the original

I make it a point to watch originals before watching a "remake" or "revision" as it was in this case. I liked the original but I liked this "revision" a lot more...it was very updated. however, with that said, Night of the Living Dead (original) is my all-time favorite horror movie. The atmosphere was just eerie.

12. I loved it, too. And more importantly, so did Maddox:

"Holy shit! This movie almost has everything. The movie starts out with this chick (who is a 6 at the beginning, but by the end of the movie you're thinking she's an 8 because it's non-stop tit-sagging from fat zombie bitches from this point on) in a hospital, then she talks to her co-worker for what seems like hours and you think you're in the wrong movie because already there's way too much dialogue/plot building or whatever you call it. That's where the genius of the director comes in: he made it like this on purpose so you'll have time to adjust your face before it's rocked off. Almost immediately after that there's a shower scene which sucks because there's a guy in it and you have to state loudly that you think it's "gay" or something along those lines so nobody will question your sexuality. Then it's onto the zombies..."
