"Land of the Dead"

Am I the only one who loved it?

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...

It was a little lightweight but good none the less.

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.

40 year old virgin is utterly brillant.

I still feel Land of the Dead was an excellent film. Souless ending mind.

The only times I can see it are 2.00pm and 6.45 so im trying for two. If not 40-year old virgin does anyone know if that is good.

I also thought it was awesome. Being a mega zombie fan I was surprised hearing all my mates saying it was pants and not comparative to the others at all. Admittedly, it wasn't as good as dawn in my opinion but it was very good.

** Spoiler kind of warning **

I did want them to shoot down the building though, that woulda been awesome.

Just finished watching it, story wise it's pretty good but it didn't have the same effect the other films did.

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.

Well no homework so its land of the dead then :D

Might go and see this tomorrow of Howl's Moving Castle. If I don't have to much Homework to do :(

I liked it. Far better use of my money than alot of movies recently.

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.

I was dissapointed by Land. I was watching it and thinking "this is good, but it should be fecking excellent"

If it were from anyone else but Romero, I think most people would automatically knock at least three stars out of ten off it.

Because it was rubbish. Then again I didn't like the original Dawn or Night either though.
