Any Romero fans go see this and want to comment on it?
View Full Version : Land Of The Dead Dylan Couper June 29th, 2005, 09:57 AM Any Romero fans go see this and want to comment on it? Dylan Couper July 7th, 2005, 11:46 PM Guess I'm the only zombie fan on the forum. Imran Zaidi July 8th, 2005, 07:32 AM I'm not a huge zombie fan but somehow I always end up going to see all zombie films (drawn to them like a zombie to brains), and I think I've seen most if not all of Romero's zombie faire. Land of the Dead is by far his best work I think. As a film it's pretty entertaining - John Leguizamo, as always, steals the movie. As a zombie film, it surprisingly showed me some new stuff, which I thought would be impossible at this point. Overall it's definitely worth the price of admission. It's not literature, but hell, it's about zombies! David Young July 8th, 2005, 11:10 AM I'm a big Romero fan and I kinda dug it. Unlike most fans of Romero, I think Day of the Dead is the best of the zombie films. I think Land is decent but not as good as the other three. None of the human characters are particularly memorable and the zombie "leader" overacts quite a bit. All of your sympathies end up lying with the zombies and I guess it was supposed to be that way. I don't know. I'll probably buy the DVD when it comes out but I doubt I'll watch it much. Colvin Eccleston July 8th, 2005, 03:28 PM I think zombie films are hampered by censorship that is stricter than for games. I have been playing Half Life 2 all week - now those howling jumping Zombies are the stuff of nightmares! Keith Loh July 8th, 2005, 03:51 PM I'm writing a zombie screenplay right now. I think zombies will always be in. Colvin Eccleston July 9th, 2005, 02:55 AM Oh yes. I still try to see everyone, even though they do scare me to death. John Hudson July 12th, 2005, 04:07 PM This film was such a disapointment on every level. I'm pretty eask when it comes to films; especially UNDEAD Films and this film is just downright crap. What a let-down. Romero is trying to kill the very genre he created. This should have been his Magnus Opus and instead is a flop of epic proportions. Romero never has been a good filmmaker anyway but this is crap. I was let-down and expected so much. Oh well. |
