Awful movie - here's why


- No character development. In Shaun of the Dead, the characters were actually enjoyable. In this movie their acting is over the top, silly, and poorly done.

- Not funny. Seriously, how is this movie funny? Sure, there was the twinkie thing, Bill Murray, and the girls screwing them over... just none of it was amusing.

- No emotion. Since this movie isn't funny; maybe it should be sad, scary, moving - nope. There was really no feeling in this film. You don't know how the outbreak began or how it ended. You don't know the characters besides Tallahassee's son dying or Columbus's parents dying/ being a loner. Again, you could care less what happened to these characters

- Not gory enough or enough zombies. They really should have gone all out, showing much more zombies feeding and extend the gore. The only few gore scenes were brief and at the beginning. Most of the film was them just talking really.

- Unrealistic. Yes, I know its a movie, but Walking Dead does a good job at conveying the fear and making it realistic. Even in Shaun of the Dead they seem genuinely terrified, and they show was happens in the future. In this film they are all calm, happy at times, waste bullets and are loud.

Anyways, I think this was one of the lamest and unfunniest movies I've seen, and I'm a zombie fan. Its not funny, acting sucked, story sucked, and everything sucked. I know it's a succesful movie, however I have no idea how.

Agreed. just saw it and thought it was right up/down there with the Pie Fecking film that you mooks seem to love.
