They say that those things are dead. I know that's a bunch of BULLSHIT!
Effing love EVERYTHING about this film. I've been a fan of the zombie genre for years, and this one ranks as one of the best I've seen in ages. It does seem ironic though, that Ving Rhames appears in two zombie films, the other being the Day of the Dead. Still, Zack Snyder definitely blew me away with the way he p... read more
I heard many good things about this movie so I was rather curious to see it. Eventually, I thougt it was pretty good. Indeed, in my opinion, it is definitely one of the best remakes ever made. There is a good cast, it is visually impressive and the whole thing is really entertaining. Indeed, the whole thing is just very well done, with some good action scenes and Sarah Polley is one of the most un... read more

"The new version has its share of disturbing moments, but writer James Gunn and director Zack Snyder have stripped away the social satire of the original and put little in its place.

Save your quarters for the video game.

Romero's movie was both scary and satiric, but this reprise, directed by British TV-ad wiz Zack Snyder, is neither.

"Zombies they are dead like to eat brains, and have to be really carefull with their bodies. For humans they are fun killing toys, ever wanted to play GTA in real life you will just have to wait for the zombie apocalypse.

"9 STARS vs 8 STARS
The original Dawn was a fantastic sequel to the legendary Night by Romero. The characters were infectiously charismatic and loads of fun to watch. The remake, however, took that charisma and coupled it with a host of great actors to send itself barreling past it's predecessor at warp speeds. Hands-down the sequel simply blew the doors off the original."
"Starring:
Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Mekhi Phifer, Jake Weber.
Plot in a nut-shell:
Zombie outbreak, survivors find eachother and find a safe place, however the safe place becomes compromised and they try to escape.
My Thoughts:
The first fully serious zombie film on my list, quality film of a group surviving by banding together. Really liked the gun shop owener character,
"Shotgun
Claimed the number two spot, the no need to get your hands dirty shotgun. Make sure it's pump action if you plan on taking out more than two in one sitting! Very affecting for sending a zombies head flying over to the next street, if there's anything left of it. When the zombies smell a fresh ball of brains hurtling over their heads, they'll chase it, giving you time to regroup, grab a beer and stroll over for some target practice on the distracted zombies.
