Love Romero\'s old work, but he has sucked since \'Day of the Dead\'.

Initial release was more than 2 weeks ago. I saw it, and enjoyed it. Not the greatest movie ever made, but certainly not "piss poor." It\'s much better than Day of the Dead.

Crackhead.........

Post by: GmanJoe on July 08, 2005, 09:10:26 AM: I thoroughly enjoyed Shaun of the Dead. My favorite zombie flick...next to the old Romero movies. So I guess it sits in third, behind Night and Dawn of the dead. Day is at 4th.

Anyone else seen an old Italian zombie flick that tried to copy Romero\'s? It was quite decent but I can only remember bits and pieces of the movie.

Post by: GigaShadow on July 08, 2005, 09:31:38 AM: Yeah it was called Zombie. Don\'t like movies where the mouths don\'t follow what they are saying. Sort of like those old Emmanuel movies I used to watch on Skinemax back in the day.

Post by: Coredweller on July 08, 2005, 09:51:36 AM: You\'re thinking of Lucio Fulci\'s "Zombie" which was actually known as "Zombie 2" in Italy. I love Fulci films. However, "The Beyond" and "The House by the Cemetary" are better than "Zombie"

Even tho\' you\'re a crackhead, I will agree with that. Still, I think Dario\'s work was much better than Lucio\'s.

Post by: Blade on July 08, 2005, 10:50:17 AM: I saw it. It served its purpose.

It was entertaining, campy, a little funny, pretty gory.. with stereotypical characters and dumb dialogue.

I liked it. I\'m usually pretentious, but it was a zombie movie.. people!

One where the zombie\'s was to smart for their own good. Not to mention at the end where the lead character / hero says, "leave them alone, they are just looking for a place to go......Like us". Now usually, I don\'t remind Romero\'s social commentary, but it simply didn\'t work this time around.

Post by: Blade on July 08, 2005, 01:20:21 PM: A. Yes, the zombies were too smart. Well, at least Big Daddy was.. and he influenced the others.

Romero obviously feels that he needs to innovate in his own series to keep it fresh. A good move? Probably not.. but not that bad of one, either..

B. Yeah, that line was very sad.

I can deal with zombie\'s being smart, \'Bub\' was smart, but it was gradual. The \'Big Daddy\' guy just knew it all from the get go and was training the others in no time......Ruined it.
