Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Realrockerhalloween Romeo is back for a new generation using the script he originally planned for day.Humany has set up shop on an island called Fiddleir's green and suffer from a class structure where the poor starve while rich live in luxury. Seems almost like a premonition of today.A special force sets out to gather supplies using a fortified tank called day of reckoning and use fireworks as a distracter. Unbeknownst to them is zombies are advancing beyond here tricks and evolving into a deadly threat set out to take the city denied them.Land of the dead brought back substance to the series that I missed in the remake to day, but the pacing was to action packed, the music was over used and it left many questions unanswered like how Hopper set up the city and the value of money.It almost seemed like the zombies were meant to be antiheroes like Bub, from day, instead of cheering for humanity when all the others made it clear it was a devastating plague.Acting was decent, Leguizamo leading man, carried the emotional weight and heart of the picture. You want to see him gain access to the good life, keep his friends alive and take his vengeance out on the top man himself.Not scary like the others, but not a bad way to kill 80 minutes.
Gregory Mucci When I watch Land of the Dead, being a tremendous fan of the original trilogy, I can't help but think that director George Romero is showing us what we all ask about Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain; with what and where would they be taking their respective genres and artistry if they hadn't met an unfortunate and abrupt end. We wonder if Hendrix would have taken a path more directed at blues or whether Kurt Cobain would have broken off and created more mature and thoughtful solo material. We won't ever know, but with Romero we are luckily able to see what paths he has taken to evolve and shift with the new age of horror and cinematic elements. With Land of the Dead, we aren't just watching the latest tale in zombie horror, we're watching an author and artist evolve, utilizing new skills and painting an apocalyptic and grim landscape with a couple new tricks. Witnessing the unveiling of this new piece isn't without its pangs and pitfalls however. The overuse of CGI elements strips us of that authenticity that Romero established with Night of the Living Dead. I mean, the zombies hanging severed head flipping up to bite its victim is eye rolling, as is all the digital bloody head shots, but it's the execution that's at fault here; what we have is a director testing out new materials and it's a whole lot of fun watching him work. There are some unbelievable set pieces here, oozing with a decayed atmosphere that only masterful brush strokes could create. We are also given some of the goriest and entrail ripping death scenes to date, and for that I say "I'm not worthy!"With Land of the Dead, we are lucky enough to be able to feast our eyes on a man at work who has started from a patch work crew and equipment in Night of the Living Dead to a much larger budget. Laying the groundwork for not only an entire genre but filmmakers to come, George Romero continues to evolve and push using a larger canvas and the practice of incorporating new cinematic tools, albeit a bit to our dismay. However, as a huge fan of the legend and the work he has produced, I can forgive a couple of missteps to be able to slip into a truly fun and inspired world crafted by one of the greatest in the business.
Nick Retzlaff This movie starts off with the old Universal pictures opening. Then after the opening credits roll the movie starts off in some old town where some survivors try to find medicine. We're also introduced to this big van/truck/tank called Dead Reckoning that shoots down most of the zombies there. After that the survivors to this island city which is supposed to be their home.There's also one place in the middle of it all in called Fiddler's Green where people forget about the zombies. While everyone else outside lives dirt poor like in the Edgar Allan Poe story Mask of the Red Death where the prince has a big party in the castle and forgets about the plague outside.There's also this on guy Cholo, played by John Leguizamo, tries to get a place in Fiddlers Green by persuading the owner. Played by Dennis Hopper and this movie was when I was starting to noticing him. There's also a sense of deja vu since both actors were in the Super Mario Brothers Movie if you remember that at all.When Cholo doesn't get his place he takes Dead Reckoning and threatens to destroy the city. The stars of Shawn of the Dead are in this bar scene also as zombies since George Romero was a fan of the movie. There's also a zombie, Big Daddy, then gets an army of zombies and slowly make they're way to the city. When they rise out of the water it like from the scene from Carnival of Souls. That was from what I've heard of it that is, but I'll have to see Carnival of Souls myself one day.When the main hero get's to Dead Reckoning he reasons with Cholo and they go back to the city. Which is getting overrun by the zombies and the Ton Savini biker makes a cameo as a zombie. Some of the blood is CGI which is fine by me since he probably had a small budget.This movie also has a dark setting, literally, which creates a lot of atmosphere. Not as good as Night, Dawn, or Day but maybe because there was so many zombie movies around at the time it came out. I might not review Diary of the Dead or Survival of the Dead since I saw a but of Survival of the Dead and thought it was kind of dumb. Also for Diary of the Dead's way of filming as a home video horror movie I don't quite like. That sub-genre is just a little too overused a bit but I like the idea of that anyone can be a filmmaker.
Adam Kovacs The movie itself is a joke.I have laughed at it like a million times because of the stupidity of the film.But after a time it became annoying.What is more, some characters are incompetent for life...The movie is full of continuity errors too. It's big pile of s*it! No surprise i do not like this kind of movies.I do not like zombie movies at all.However i can watch some but that is not for my liking.If you want to laugh, then this should be your choice to watch something today! However, if you like zombie movies or you just want to have a good time and you like good films, then, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!As i mentioned that production is a farce. 2/10 Just because i laughed at it a lot.
