Opening few minutes' voice over left me in the correct state for enjoyment of a Romero film; unsettled and paranoid. And very afraid.
Okay, so Asia Argento would have difficulty acting her way out of a damp paper bag, and perhaps the leading man was too bland (in that I can't actually remember his name), but as a Romero film (and, therefore, a comment on society and it's decay via the medium of zombies) I found it unbeatable.
Then again, I think too much...
Little short too, there was a lot there that could have been expanded and I felt some of the situations were a little clipped compared to the earlier movies.
I still feel Land of the Dead was an excellent film. Souless ending mind.
** Spoiler kind of warning **
I did want them to shoot down the building though, that woulda been awesome.
There were a few jumpy moments which i think were a bad idea. There were a few moments when gore seemed left out but it's probably to keep the rating down.
I think I liked it so much just due to the idea of the zombies. This unnatural predator of humans that suddenly learns how to think. Just a terrorfying prospect really. Shame it wasn't done as brilliantly as it could have been done. Still pretty good though.
If it were from anyone else but Romero, I think most people would automatically knock at least three stars out of ten off it.
