Which did you prefer, Land of the Dead or Diary of the Dead?
I just watched Diary of the Dead last night and i thought that it was better than Land of the Dead, what are your thoughts on this movie?
i tried to do a search on this movie, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

No question,I prefer Land over Diary.I had such high hopes for Diary and was utterly disappointed with it.Its probably my least favorite of Romero's zombie movies.

A couple of annoying characters aside Diary is a solid flick and I really like how the script is a return to form for Romero. It reminded me of The Crazies. I still enjoyed Land but it was a bit of mess with a pretty weak social commentary... sure Diary beats you over the head with its ideology but at least it digs deeper and provokes more thought. Hopefully he'll make everyone eat their words and top Day Of The Dead one day. But truth be told I'd rather see him put out something amazing along the lines Martin instead.

I enjoyed Land of the Dead much more. The first person camera in Diary of the Dead was disappointing to what I originally expected it would be. The characters added music and sound effects to it which kinda ruined it for me. I mean, why? I thought it was just unnecessary. [Rec] was much scarier without music because it almost felt real to me. Land of the Dead was just a better film to me, and I think if Diary would not have been first person it would have been much more enjoyable.

[REC] is a totally different kinda film. The FPC in Dairy was used more to illustrate the disection of the social themes (life in the digital age. etc) in the film.

Diary, primarily because of the casting of Land - Dennis Hopper, Simon Baker and John Leguizamo are all just plain awful in this film (and in general) Asia is the only bright spot

Dennis Hopper was great in Hell Ride but I see whatcha gettin' at. River's Edge was the last really good performance I remember.
