Movie Reviews of Dawn of the Dead
Movie Review: A worthwhile film to go see
Summary: 5 Stars
To sum it up in words, I am somewhat against remakes. But considering the remakes of movies that I have seen, almost all of them were great. I believe in this day an age however, many film producers have trouble with developing ideas for new movies so they build on old ones, whats wrong with that? The only thing that is wrong with it, is if a producer makes a hunk of junk that puts the original to shame.I believe that we should all, as zombie movie fans, should give this movie a chance. We really have no right to criticise it before its even out anyways, right? All I am saying is as long as it doesn't turn out as terrible as House of the Dead did, then I am fine with it. I think with todays graphics, as well as newly discovered actors, this film will turn out just fine if not better then the original Dawn of the Dead. Who knows, Zack Synder could even be the new George Romero figure of our time?(and thats saying a lot)
Movie Review: Hope for horror after all
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? It was a great movie. The first 10 minutes are the stuff great horror movies are made of. Initially I was afraid that all the action in the beggining would die down, but this movie held my attention to the very end. Although I am a fan of the original, the running zombies seem a hell of a lot more scary than George's. Solid characters, excellent story line, just the right combination of blood and gore. What more can you ask for? To my surprise, the acting was excellent as well, which as we all know is very unusual in horror films. The only thing that upsets me is how much this movie is being compared to that piece of ... 28 days later. I wish people would stop misleading those who haven't seen this movie yet. Besides the zombies, these two movies have absolutely nothing in common. I understand that some people are a little fanatic about the original, but I strongly urge you to give this movie a chance.Movie Review: Saw the sneakpreview-Go see this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie last night (and will probably see it again in the theatre as well as buy the DVD when its released) and I have to say, as a die hard fan of the trilogy, that this movie is damn good. I was surprised by how different (the pace is fast and ultra intense in the 28 Days Later vein) the movie is from the original yet retaining all the elements that made the original great-a rare thing for any movie these days let alone a remake. Die hard fans will like it as the director drops all kinds of tasty tidbits from the original (in one scene they show, briefly, a yellow and brown chopper flying off into nowhere-what could that possibly be a reference to????hmmm.) Surprises abound and the special effects are worth the money alone. It will never replace the original but it will definately stand on its own as a horror classic (the soundtrack was good too). Do yourself a favor and see it in theatre. It's worth the moneyMovie Review: All we are saying, is give zombies a chance.....
Summary: 5 Stars
As a REAL zombie fan who's allegiance to the original is being tested just by the mere anticipation of this re-make, I urge all of you, my fellow horror fans, to lighten up, let go of your judgements about the wisdom of trying to re-make this classic and just enjoy the moment. When was the last time a good zombie movie was released? Hell, even a so-so zombie movie? I agree with a review here that I read that stated that maybe this will spark a return to zombie movie making again. The way I se it, it's inevitable that you're going to get a few dogs when there are a lot being made......"Night Of The Zombies", "Burial Ground", etc., but if you fail to take chances for fear of being disappointed, well........From the trailer I saw, I look forward to March 19th, 2004. Let's keep that hope and shelve our cynicism. We can belly-ache and moan if it turns out to be a dog.
Chaos, mayhem and hopelessness, you gotta love it.
Movie Review: shold have changed the title, but nothing else
Summary: 5 Stars
I guess it would be inappropriate to call this a re-make since it was significantly different from the original. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be awful. It all boils down to what kind of movie you want to see. If you are looking for the zombie movie with deep social commentary, go for the original. If you are just looking for violence and an update on the zombie make-up, go for this one. The only real problem that I see is that it should have been titled something different so as not to mislead people. Other than that, this is a great flick with a lot of eye candy, little thought involvement, and an appropriate ending (if you disagree, you didn't watch through the credits). Don't let the fact that the makers of the modern Dawn of the Dead used the title of the original make you bitter. For all of you diehard Romero fans, don't compare it to the original and just enjoy it for what it is.
