Dawn of the Dead
Has anyone seen the new Dawn of the Dead? I thought it was pretty good...not as good as the first, but it wasnt really like it much at all, so its hard to compare. The propane bottle exploding was ridiculusly overdone...and i dont know how they knew what boat was the guys...but other then that, i thought it was good.

I actually think this one was better. Not as original, granted, but better made, better characters, better acting. Sorry.
Dont get me wrong, the original is one of the greatest classic movies of all time.

I thought it was well done, personally. I thought it was going to be cheesy and really, really boring, but luckily my $8 (price of a movie ticket out here) was well invested. I had only one gripe though, and that was about the whole "baby' thing. I thought that was a bit ridiculous.
EDIT: Shit, I just remembered something else too; they never explained why the zombies were walking the earth.

I thought it was a pile of shit. Fucking boring as hell. Can't touch the original, except for the good zombie make-up. In my opinion, the bad points out-weighed the good points. Hated the horrible CGI propane explosion and shitty dialogue. Give me the original ANY day.
But it's a good thing that it made money though, the horror genre could use all the help it can. Hopefully, the success of the film will open doors and helps other horror and zombie movies get made.

Liked it quite a bit. Not as good as the original not even as gory which suprised me but all in all a good film.
Did not like the fast zombies

Dawn of the Dead (romero) has always been one of my favorite horror movies. It's right there with the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre for me, so going in to this movie I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't wanna set my expectations too high and the be hugely let down.
I'm happy to say I wasn't. This movie was every bit as intense and as brutal as it should have been. The acting is great, the gore is almost stomach turning (even for a very avid horror fan), the only thing I had any beef with was the rapid moving zombies. They should have been slower, they're dead right? Romero's zombies were always slow and stiff in their movement. Oh, well. The quicker zombies did add a few startling moments. All in all, great movie. Highly recommended! Two thumbs up.
