Pretty Good

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a teenage dirt bike movie with a subplot about zombies. It appears they had a pretty good budget. Too bad they spent it on this script. Honestly, I couldn't make it to the end because the movie was relentlessly boring. But also irritating. One could argue that since it was irritating, since it made me feel something, then it must have some artistic merit.No. None of this movie makes any sense. That's why it's Irritating.

Why? Just ....just why? This film, and the one that proceeded it are just too horrible for words. The first Return is a classic of the zombie genre, the second one sucked, the third was alright, but still not great, and then they released this tepid pile of crap. Almost nothing makes sense throughout this entire movie. How soldiers could be so stupid to let a group of teenagers into a government facility the way they do is beyond me. And you'll be rooting for every single character in this movie to die in horribly painful ways. Their is not a likable person among them at all. And remember the zombies from the second Resident Evil movie? Yeah, me too. They make an appearance near the end in a how the hell did they get away with this without copyright infringement rip off. If you're gonna see ANY movie in this series, stick with parts one and three. Skip the second fourth and fifth films. You'll wish a zombie were chomping on YOUR brain otherwise.

I will give them credit for have a few references to the films from he beginning. I will also give them credit for making cool zombies. I will then give one more piece of credit to the fact that they referenced an old joke from the first movie. But that is it. Other than that, the movie was not that good. The first half of the film was just boring with bad dialog. The second half had the action and it was decent. The story made sense, but was not really focused on in the movie. One thing that really made me mad as a person who loves zombies. The zombies in this film could be killed by getting shot in the chest. That ruins the whole thing. Now they did have different type of zombies. Ones that were bitten were really smart, could even talk if they were only bitten a little. Then you have stupid zombies. Then there is another type of zombie that does not make sense at all, but you will have to watch the movie to see them. The cast was half and half. Some could act, others needed to die sooner in the film. I love the Return of the Living Dead movies and this one was not a good add on to the others.

This movie is horrendous! It's undeniably one of the worst movies of all time it's up there with disaster/epic movies, return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Mangler and the others, Manos: the hands of fate looks like masterpiece in comparison to this mess. So now, after experiencing this nightmare I fell I MUST warn the other unfortunate souls who may be going through Return of the living dead series and are contemplating to watch part 4 of it. Don't do it! And here's top 5 reasons why.5. Why secret lab of a massive corporation, holding mass destruction weapons have no guards in it? There were like two fat perverts, college student and random guy with a gun in all the building "guarding" all the stuff they were developing for "world domination." What's the point of having "minimum" or "maximum" guard sectors if there aren't anyone to guard anything? Jeez...4. There are like hundreds of gaping plot holes and plot lines witch just go nowhere and are never explained so it's pretty much crystal clear that they were just making stuff up while they were going along - incompetent bastards. All the movie is like random mess of generic plots taken from any random movie they could get their hands on and I don't even talk about horror movies only - that would be too convenient.3. You can clearly tell they felt really confident while making this garbage - throwing in cocky dialog and smart-ass wannabe lines like - "Lead, follow or get out of the way" what does that even mean? It's like saying go, walk or stand in one place. Like "so"? What are you trying to tell? And they felt really proud of this line because they used it two times.2. Acting. Again, this movie has one of the worst acting performances of all time, everyone sucks, and you can see that they aren't even trying, they don't even care. Main villain smile all the freak-in time like he is a joker from batman with permanent grin on hes face and half of the cast talks through their teeth, you can see more emotion in local children play than here.1. Creators haven't watch any movies of the series, no kidding, they just assumed it works like all the other generic zombie flicks and gone along with that idea, but the problem is that Return of the living dead doesn't follow the exact formula of zombie movies and the main difference in the series is that you can't kill the zombies - if you want them gone you must burn them to ashes and even then you must be careful because if it comes in contact with any kind of entity - living or dead they get infected and you get more zombies. How long do you think it takes for them to break this main rule? How about 5 minutes? 5 minutes into the movie zombie gets shot in the head and he dies, and I would even be OK with that if they explained that like some other generation or type of that stuff but they don't - hell, they even show the classic containers at the beginning, the doctor even brings back to life a separate hand at one point - what the hell? How does it work? If separate limb can live without a body why can't it live when it's brains get bashed out? Does it make sense to anyone? Hell, they kill zombies with their BARE HANDS in this abomination of a movie. Morons made this mess...And if you're not convinced yet just remember that these are just top 5 - there are hundreds and hundreds of other little things which just pile up onto one another to make this THING unbearable to sit through. So don't watch it! You were warned!
