Mar. 12, 2005 So I just got done watching George A. Romero's "Land Of The Dead" and I can't find the words to tell you how fucking awesomely awesome that movie is. But I will try.  First let me start off that I have read a lot of reviews of this movie by people that have seen this movie and a lot of the reviews are by people that are pissed off because they was expecting something more. This movie was given a lot of bad reviews by people that was expecting something more in depth than what they got. Those people are fucking morons that expect too much. A zombie movie needs to include the following:
George A. Romero brought us another classic tale of the living dead eating the living, and some people had a problem with that. I understand. Zombies aren't for everybody. For the rest of us that love zombies though, we enjoyed this movie. Why? Because it included the aforementioned list, and a little more. "What was that little more?" you might ask. That little more came in the form of another list.
The movie is a solid hour and a half of zombies eating people in the most disgustingly beautiful ways. And there's none of that new "horror" movie bullshit where the actions going on and the camera is moving so fast you can't see shit, and it's zoomed in so much you're not sure if you're looking at an uppercut to the cranium or the anal cavities of the actors. Oh no. This movie takes a couple of zombies for each shot, puts a living person in the middle, tells the zombies this is the last living person on earth, and the zombies eat that person like it's the last time they're going to eat. And what does the camera do when this is going on? The camera guy is told to center the shot and then to take a coffee break. You don't miss anything. And THAT ladies and gentlemen, is how you make a fucking horror movie. A zombie movie nonetheless. If you feel like you want to make a horror movie, and you want to make a good one, you can NEVER GO WRONG WITH ZOMBIES. As long as they're not little bitch zombies that die after 24 hours of being zombies. George A. Romero is the fucking man. He brought us "Night Of The Living Dead" 40 years ago, and now he brings us this gem.  George A. Romero, getting closer and closer to being a zombie himself. The only problem I had was the end. You see, zombies are supposed to win, because they're fucking zombies. They win. That's what they do. You know, besides eating people a lot. But in the ending to this, people survived. How unhappy was I with this decision? Very fucking unhappy, until I figured it out. That just sets up the basis for yet ANOTHER zombie movie. Hopefully Romero will do the next one too. Man I love zombies. I mean, I have an unnatural love for zombies. I think zombies are so fucking awesome that if one knocked on my door and wanted to eat me, I'd let it, just so long as it let me become a zombie too. So remember, if you want to see a great movie with tons of zombies, tons of gore, tons of people being eaten, at least 59,037 cubic gallons of blood spilled, a gratuitous tit shot, and explosions, you can't pass up George A. Romero's "Land Of The Dead". I give this movie 89,000,674 stars out of 9 1/2 stars because I rock. I hate not being a zombie. |
