Yep, the critics seldom seem to understand what I enjoy. I'm a big zombie fan form the B movie T&A type to the fancy high budget, and have never missed an episode of TWD. I plan to watch it and will probably add it to my movie library.

Saw it last night, was ok. Nothing amazing but not bad either. The scenes of overlord before the zombies were the best part of the movie for me.

Indeed. Just watched the trailer on YT for the second time. Is this already out? ;-)

Looks like the US release date was Nov 9

I went and saw the movie a few days ago.
Not bad at all.
I would rate it a C+, B-.
But then again I really like this type of movie.

My brother was talking about this. I am planning to watch it with my best friend though. My brother is out of town and I still remember the time when we used to watch shows by Andy Yeatman together at granny’s place. Now we just share the information online.

I watched it the other day, quite enjoyable, but a bit predictable

Not sure how they will explain a black soldier serving along white soldiers in a very segregated war.
But, it is just a fantasy story so whatever.

Have you not seen the dirty dozen?

But wasn't the Dirty Dozen about a group of soldiers taken from
the limited number who were on death row,
not a regular drafted unit?

Enjoyable film though.
My favourite scene was the 'review' of the posh unit by the dopey squad member.

I finally got to watch this via Netflix, and it was OK. I was entertained and the premise was really good. But it was at the same time almost a comedy for me due to such a mass of historical errors - I had to keep telling myself it was a Weird War story. Not sure I'll add it to my library, but glad I got to see it.

It was like watching someone play Castle Wolfenstein, badly.

I had a more difficult time suspending my disbelief over the non-segregated unit, the colored paratrooper officer, the ridiculously short paratrooper training, the French woman able to handle a huge variety of small arms, and the glut of STG 44s than I did with actual zombies. 
No. Just no.

Can't a guy get some semblance of historical accuracy in his zombie movies!! Sheesh

I saw an article on the web telling that Overlord was linked to the Cloverfield movies… it said that these movies take places on several timeline on parallel universes… which might explain the non-segregated unit in 1944 on that particular universe… ;D

I've seen it.  It won't win any acting awards. But, if you're looking for a pseudo-historical, pulp B-Movie-esque ww2 zombie flick that's got a touch of Boys Own Adventure and Action! comics, then this is definitely the film for you.
