'realistic' camera jiggling. poorly-lit action. happy ending.. all the trademarks of sh*t movies these days. hear you about the romero nods but it's a pity the directors paid more homage to day of the dead rather than his two previous, superior zombie films
One scene made the movie for me. When Selene kills Mark. She wasn't even positive that he was infected. She never even hesitated to give the guy a chance. She butchered him right then and there. And they never said if Mark was infected or not. That was horrific to me.

As for the Dawn remake. There are several threads about it around here. I was pretty hateful when I first heard the news. But after viewing the trailer and remembering that the Night remake was good (I know Romero was involved in that one but still...), I'll give it a chance. Who knows. I'm trying to be open-minded about it.
