Whelp being a huge Romero fan I was 1st inline yesterday at my local cinima. Gotta say it was entertaining but I was let down. The flick didn't feel like a DOTD remake, rather part two to 28 days.. something like " 28 Days Later in suburbia" I did enjoy the cameos from Tom Savani and Ken Forees (Peter) saying his famous line again.
Agree with ya Sunking.
Don't want to poo-poo it. It was ok.
It needed wayy more close ups of zombies...
more development of the sheer horror of the dead coming back to life.... and walking. Seems like the characters accepted this surreal freak of nature as quickly and easily as you would a measles epidemic.
more development of the sheer joy of realizing that every non-perishable goodie in the world is free for the taking - if you can avoid the zombies.... it should have shown them living it up a little more.
and it lacked the unabashed lust for all the free weaponry and ammo you should be able to load up on for free in a situation like that. They should have had them seek out good weapons, maybe break into an armory and get a tank, bazookas, claymores, sniper rifles assualt rifles, etc, and hit a huge sporting goods store, get hunting bows and arrows, bear traps, every kind of handgun, bandoleers, etc, etc, all that good stuff.
