2. I liked it
Campy and fun. Not everything has to be the best movie in the world.

Now off to find some twinkies. :)

3. I was a little disappointed in it, actually.
Edited on Sun Jul-25-10 10:43 AM by Forkboy
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching it (it IS a zombie movie after all), but I doubt I'd watch it again. As soon as they ran into those two girls the rest of the movie was so easy to see coming. They tried to fool you into thinking the girl and the kid might not get together, but c'mon, who were they kidding?

It was a fairly standard and generic take on the genre if you take out the Murray cameo. Harrelson was good, as he always is, but the movie left me feeling meh as a whole. It had a few good laughs, a few cool scenes (the zombie in the highway munching away was cool), but I'd take Shaun of the Dead over this any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Zombieland was what I would expect from Hollywood. I'd give it a 2 out 4.

And yes, I know I'm in the minority on this one. ;)

6. Seriously, had not heard of it until I watched it... it never came to UAE
So far as I know...

It definitely deserves a sequel as the first was almost the setup for something more.

8. I liked it... but "Shaun of the Dead" is still my favorite
when it comes to funny zombie movies.

12. They know how to avoid the zombies, but don't do it
Bill Murray told them how. I just can't get over that they know how to avoid the zombies but don't do it.
