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

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.

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.

i think LIC mentioned that this was crap in another thread. meh anyway movies that have zombies bein too smart (making bombs and stuff)...has  got to be bulls**t...i can deal with 28 days later type of zombies, at least they still had that bit of freight factor with them, but intelligent zombies? :rolleyes: naw...
knowledge, wisdom & understanding..these are the basic fundamentals of life

if you can\'t amaze them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t....
