| You either love the idea of remakes or despise it. But either way
you know you will end up seeing it. Don't tell me you didn't see it,
because it knocked Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ out of the number
one spot at the box office. (Which was a crappy movie anyways.)
So how good is the remake? Well it is an average zombie flick. It
uses Dawn's original concept, billions of zombies + a few survivors +
shopping mall. But it also changes things up a little bit.
One thing that is new in this remake is the fact that the zombies run.
They are like the people in 28 Days Later, although those were not even
zombies, but people infected with rage. These things run though, and
I am not very pleased with the results. If you are dead aren't you
going to be stiff and slow?
Aside from the zombies running like crazy, the worst part of this
remake is the fact that there is virtually no character development.
The movie basically just starts. I couldn't believe it. It was
almost an insult to the time Romero put into developing his original
script.
There were some good laughs and a few jumps. Also there was a
great Elevator music version of Disturbed's Down with the sickness.
Other than the lack of character development I would say that this is a
good remake. |
