What a waste of my time!!!

... View MoreIt contains little character development, and ignores the social commentary provided by the original and instead focuses on creating an action flick. Nonetheless, in this respect, it works. It's scary, gory and fun; and its opening sequence is one of the best and most tense opening sequences of all time.
... View MoreI won't be comparing this remake to the original dawn of the dead film because I haven't seen it. I'm just going to review it as a regular movie as if it wasn't even a remake. The movie begins with a nurse at her suburban home with her husband. They go to sleep and the next morning she finds a neighborhood girl that has been turned into a zombie and she of course runs to her car and escapes. She then discovers the zombie epidemic that has claimed the city in which she lives, and ultimately everywhere. She some other survivors drives to the mall and take refuge there. The acting is pretty good, all the actors give believable performances. The scare factor is definitely there, I thought the zombie attacks were creepy and had a very suspenseful feel to it. The only thing I didn't like as far as the killings go was the accidental ones, there's one character that accidentally gets killed by another survivor and I thought that was pretty stupid. That's really my only complaint as far as that goes, I wouldn't have minded if they were a little less gory but that didn't bother me all too much. The writing was fairly decent, better than your average horror film, which is refreshing to see. The movie has a high entertainment value, which is the only reason anyone would ever want to watch this movie. 8/10 for Dawn of the Dead.
... View MoreAn overworked nurse kicks back after her tiresome shift, only to find next morning her world has turned into the zombie apocalypse. How will she survive?Perfect horror. The opening sequence is a master class in movie making, mixing tension with enjoyable character, and when we pitch into the main story the simple dialogue and performances keep the show going with wonderful pace. And after a hectic climax we're treated to the greatest end-credits ever.Plenty of gore and gun-blasting, but always humour - especially through the music - and so many character arcs and pay-offs from the excellent writing. Also a healthy dose of satire on religion.I come to praise. But there is a mystery - the director and writer joined the Hollywood clown show after this, so how did they come up with such brilliance in the first place? Logically, it must be Romero's influence as co-writer, but I don't buy that. (ps. The script was re-written by two uncredited writers.)Overall: thankful it got made, however it got made - as enjoyable to re-watch as Jaws and The Shining.
... View MoreThe remake of Dawn of the dead follows a new set of survivors taking sanctuary in a mall.Sarah Polly was a gem as a nurse who loses her husband and has to cope in a world turned upside down.The zombies were frightening from their look, speed and ferocious need to eat like a hungry lion.Atmospher else the mall was a little well light. Maybe having the generator go out or having the characters father in the conned webbed basement would suffice.The characters each had arches that I enjoyed from new relationships, shopping and trying to keep the mall secured. It was interesting to see different groups come together as a united unite and survive. A cop, gangster, nurse and a few social odd balls made me laugh, cry and care what happened to them.The ending could've used more work as I usually don't Like when everyone does. Other then that it was perfectly made and should've won best script of the year.
