Land of the Dead

[BartAllen]

Im not going to spoiler this for you guys, but do yourselves a favor and wait for this movie on HBO. it BLEW. blew harder then april in that one turtle video. i mean damn it sucked.


Oh, i would love to hear what you guys thought of the movies. lets start up a dialogue.

[Brodie]

That seems to be the general concensus, that it, indeed, blew.

I love zombies, but I'm in no hurry for this.

and it sucks, because i love the original trilogy. i have all 3 of them. i wanted land to actually resolve somthing, but i didnt.


the only cool stuff was seeing people from the original trilogy, and some characters from the remake coming back as zombies.

Damn, I was hoping it would be good.

Will do as soon as I see it.

Same with me now.

[Turtledude2k3]

it sucked? What!!! I was so waiting for this movie as well.

Maybe you are wrong..

[DrSpengler]

I'm going to go see it tonight. Being the horror fan that I am (especally when it comes to zombies) I feel compelled to see every horror movie in the theater that I can (hell, I even saw Cursed and House of Wax).

It's a shame about the negative reviews I've been hearing, this film had me really hyped.

It isn't worse than Day of the Dead, is it?

Maybe it's an opinion. Does one have to mark it every time he/she is stating an opinion? One would think that people would be able to tell when someone is voicing his/her opinion...

I love the Zombie genre, Ramero's Trilogy especially, but Day is pretty boring till the end.

[Brodie]

Who showed up as who?

Especially from the remake?

[Spitfire]

I'm still going to go see it. No offense to anyone here but people here seem to hate movies that are good and love movies that I think suck so Im going to trust the critics and see it. The critics havnt steered me wrong for 3 years now
*hails Rotten Tomatoes*

Just got back from the midnight showing.

I have to say, I enjoyed the film quite a bit. It really felt like a classic George A. Romero zombie film, which is something I haven't been able to enjoy in, obviously, a very long time.

I didn't think it was better than the Dawn remake, but this movie had it's charms.

Without going into details/spoilers, it had plenty of gruesome, cringe-worthy bits not to mention the one thing the Dawn remake sorely lacked: a feasting scene. And Land had plenty of those. There was also a number of Zombie-comedy sequences very remeniscent of the original Dawn of the Dead.

The "intelligent" zombies were done a Hell of a lot better than they were in Day, that much I can tell you. Less goofy and heart-warming (Bud was rediculous) and more hardcore and ruthless.

And while I do enjoy running-zombies for the benefits they provide, it was very refreshing to see the return of the slow, limping, shambaling zombies. Classic-zombies, if you will.

As far as the characters go, they were no more memorably or important as any other of Romero's flicks. Leguizamo and Hopper were both pretty good, and the lead male and his burnt friend were both likeable. No complaints here.

Oh and Tom Savini's cameo as his biker character from Dawn was terrific. It was short but he kicked some ass.

Overall, I'd say it's a worthy addition to the Romero Zombie franchise. Certainly a better finale than Day.

[tekcop]

I've been staying away from all Land of the Dead discussions on other boards out of fear of reading people raving about it and then having high expectations. A thread like this is good. If I go in not looking for much, I might enjoy the movie more.

[BartAllen]

it just felt like a parody of romareos work. i still stand by my opnion. of it sucking.

[The Stryker]

I'll probably like it because i actually enjoyed Day of the Dead! :o :o and I just like Zombies.


Return of the Living Dead:"More Brains!!"

The flesh eating is a myth. Zombies mearliy mangle, mutilate, and occasionally wear human flesh.

Really? Cuz the biting, chewing and swallowing would lead me to think otherwise. :oops:

Just saw it today, and thought it was OK. It came with a slow start but was OK. I don't know about the intelligent zombies, I not sure it natural for zombies to be that way. (But there no such things of zombies, so it not natural for any reason) Just let zombies do what they do. Walk mindless, hunt for flesh, and do what the undead do. I like all the blood and gut gulsing scence. Even the part of one of them bit that belly button ring off that person.

[The Stryker]

I like the idea of Zombies getting Smarter because that was always the nagging question in All Zombie Flicks "What do they do after they eat everyone?" I thought they would go to club med but i guess they just evolve

[KROW]

Ehhh... It was alright. I'm not a connossieur of zombie films but I do watch them on occasion. After seeing this I have to say that it was pretty good. Leguizamo's character was done well, and the story was easy to follow. I don't think it's a blockbuster but for "Dead" fans it's a nice flick.
Tom Savini's cameo as his biker character from Dawn was terrific. It was short but he kicked some ass.
That was great. I liked that tidbit, as well.

Hell, the movie was better than High Tension. What a load of crapola that was.

[XERO]

I guess I'd watch it for the fact that Leguizamo is in it.

That guy rocks. 8)

[The Stryker]

All they need is Bob Hoskins and We'll have a Super Mario Bros Movie Reunion with Dennis Hopper and all

[cqb101]

I'm a huge Romero fan("Dawn" is one of my favorite films) and I thought Land was great. Tons of gore, lots of action and of course all of the political satire and undertones that his movies are known for. Definately one of the top 5 movies I've seen this year.

[Jo269976]

Finally... George A. Romero's new Zombie maserpiece is coming to the U.K next friday... Can't wait!! anyone else seen it?!?

P.s: please no spoilers

[Anarky]

Funnily, we already had a thread like this. Board search with the term "dead" would have helped. Anyways, I merged the threads.

As for the movie. I saw some previews, well, it didn't really feel like a "... of the dead"-movie. It sort of was... different. I doubt that I'll go and see this in cinemas.

[DrSpengler]

It's coming out on DVD here next month and I'll pick it up for sure.

Got a ton of DVDs coming out that I need to buy. I'll barely have enough money left to buy my family their Christmas presents.

Dude, don't be selfish! name the dvds you are going to buy and decide which ones are most important.. You can get them later, save your money and just buy the ones that are really important to you..

For me, I buy one or 2 games a month.. I am cutting back on buying games becuase I spend so much on it and most of it only gets played once or twice.

Next month all I am buying is the legend of zelda dvd and castlevania: dawn of sorrow.

As a fellow member of this board and a person who spoke alot with you in messages, I advise you not to buy everything you see. Rent em before buy em.. That's what I believe..

Just tell your family the only gift you're giving them is your love. It always works for me. :D

Well, honestly, I was really just exaggeriating.

Most of my family is either dead or so far removed I've never met them. I only have to buy gifts for 4 people.

I hope the DVD release has all of the gore scenes that were left out during the theatrical release.

Well, they are releasing an unrated DVD, so I'm sure they will.

[Jo269976]
