World War Z movie..

[King Tiger]

Oh brad pitt and zombies, this concept cannot fail, a great actor and an extremely original concept by using the walking dead, this will truly be a movie worth watching, its never been done

SPROING!!!

Oh...my sarcasm detector broke.

Have you thought about watching Hello Kitty? There is love and friendship... and tea-parties.

Ooooh, yes...



Hasslefree already stretched Hello Kitty subject into zombie(survivor)s...

Going to see it in a few hours - I don't have high expectations because it's plain to see it isn't based on the same book I read and loved 

[SaxonHalfling]

hum
it seems from the trailer that its not like the book at all

cruse you holly wood and your inaccurate scripts 

[Predatorpt]

Ok, I saw the movie some hours ago - lots of girls and couples in the cinema (the Brad Pitt effect). I kinda liked it, but still can't understand why it's called World War Z. It doesn't have anything to do with the book! And that what's wrong with it - everyone who sees it and knows the book, will draw comparisons and when doing that, the movie fells short.

Forget all about the personal stories you see in the book - here you just get to see Brad Pitt running around the world, trying to find a "cure". There's some rather good actions pieces (I really liked the initial outbreak scene; the running battle on Israel and the passenger's attempt to defend the airplane) but not enough action.

Most of the infection happens off-screen and that kills it for me. I really hope they do some sequels and we get to see what happened around the world. They could follow some other paths of the story seen in this movie: the lives of the soldiers on Korea (before, during and after the infection); the missions of Matthew Fox's character (I gather his mission was collecting survivors from the cities); the story behind the nuclear explosion they see from the air, etc...

Final verdict - a good zombie movie for the family (there's no gore, just some scary/jumpy moments) that shouldn't be called "World War Z".

This, for me, does not land as encouragement to see it.

Quite...

They should have called it "Infection" or something like that. At least that way they wouldn't be fooling the fans of the book. Or even "28 Hours Later" (that was my brother suggestion - their "zombies" look and act like the Rage infected people on "28 Days Later")

[Slayer]

watched it last night, I enjoyed it and thought it was a very good movie but thought it had almost nothing to do with the book. So if you go in thinking it will be just like the book you will be disappointed

I have never understood why there is such love for zombie films. All that gore and destruction.

Have you thought about watching Hello Kitty Pussy? There is love and friendship... and tea-parties.

Come on!  Everyone loves a good tea-party

 

[Inso]

Inso
Me too? Maybe there is not enough gore in life. Just a thought.

Maybe a trip to Syria would change a few opinions?

[Inso]

It was not a political statement, merely a statement that there is plenty of gore out there that you don't have to look further than the news for.

At no point in time was there a political agenda to my statement... it was the first active 'war-zone' that sprang to mind (after seeing it on the news).

US-scientists came up with a possible explanation some month ago:

More likely ever one got sick of the horrible Vampire movies.  So lets replace em with horrible Zombie films. 

[Ruther]

I never get how a bunch of people with a very nerdy hobby as ours have to beat onto another rather small group of people which like postapoc zombie stuff, i mean really .

Haven't watched it yet but will do for sure. For me zombie movies aren't about gore (yawn) they are about bleak worlds were every wrong step or scratch has the potential to kill you. And Zombies always add some extra spice to the human marauders in the good apocalyptic times .
