Instant Favorite.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is perhaps the oddest adaptation of Romeo and Juliet to date. The names "R" (Nicholas Hoult) and Julie (Teresa Palmer) should clue you in. The film starts out with first person narration from "R", a zombie. He let's us know he can not connect with people, the theme of the film that zombies are simply people who have lost their connection to other people. If they can regain that connection, they can be cured or at any rate, not smell as bad.In this tale "R" consumes the brains of Julie's boyfriend and gains his memory. This starts a platonic relationship where they protect each other from each other's world. "R" is a horder who lives in a plane. Julie's dad (John Malkovich) is the leader of zombie killers. The introduction of young kids with pseudo patriotic themes is a satire of the "Red Dawn" movies.There are some questions that arise. 1) How do the skeletons, i.e. "bonies" stay together without falling apart? 2) How does a record player operate after 8 years into a zombie apocalypse with no electricity? 3) How does a person see their own face in their own memory?This is a fun film, that drags at times. Will be a welcomed addition to my zombie film collection when it comes out. Almost a prequel to "Fido."PARENTAL GUIDE: No sex or nudity. Zombie Rob Corddry whispers the F-bomb near the end of the film.

In a post-apocalyptic world, where most of the population was turned into zombies and some into walking skeletons, R is a pretty unusual member of the undead. He collects stuff, he spends "quality" time in an airplane, and, most importantly, he thinks. In his situation, he saves a girl who got surrounded while scouting for medicine and tries, in his own way, to communicate with her. Although scared as hell in the beginning, she starts to enjoy R's company, creating some sort of human zombie connection. From this moment, R slowly turns more and more alive, but as his evolution becomes more pronounced, he becomes a target of the "Bonies", so he must do something fast before he will be eaten (almost) alive.It's a pretty atmospheric horror movie, featuring an unusual zombie who is determined to change and receives some unexpected help from a living being, which he saves. It sends emotion and tension, and although it starts very slowly, almost boringly slowly, it gains pace and becomes interesting. While it is mostly predictable, but not in a bad way, and some events are rather questionable, it manages to be a very good watch, with a happy ending which put a smile to my previously sad face.

So I'll start off by saying that this film does have Twilight themes to it but is 1000 times better and manages to tell a better film in one movie as opposed to four.The film starts straight away; there is no dwelling on how it all happened or even how far into the world it reaches.If you are expecting a Walking Dead, Dawn Of The Dead or Resident Evil level of zombie, flesh, blood and violence then you are going to be disappointed. This is a different take on zombies; they still eat flesh but it's a lot more toned down than any of the previously mentioned titles.The film is narrated by 'R', as he spends his days hanging around an abandoned airport, on the outside he is sluggish and struggles to even get one word out but he seems intellectually capable and aware in his mind. I did find it weird that these zombies are more functional than most, having the ability to open door and play records.It's also different to see that when the zombies eat a person's brain, they get their memories, feeling and emotions and there are also two types of zombies; the more human ones that can evolve or the 'bonies' that gave up on life and just become an empty shell.It has a really good cast with most of the focus on Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer and Rob Corddry but with Dave Franco, John Malkovich and Analeigh Tipton rounding out a good group of actors.The soundtrack is also worth a mention with songs by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springstein, Roy Orbison, Guns N' Roses and Bon Iver.An enjoyable movie that should at least be watched once but I wouldn't be against watching it again.

Warm Bodies was, without question, one of those infuriating "zombie-turned-love-story" movies that only excelled in earning my complete contempt for it and all of its utter preposterousness.If you ask me - Warm Bodies was so brain-dead and moronic (on all counts) that it only ended up completely disgracing the movie sub-genre of zombies like no other picture I've ever seen before, or since.And, as far as zombie movies go - Warm Bodies contained so many glaring flaws and equally cringe-worthy moments that, at this point, I don't know where the heck to start voicing and venting my total disgust for this reeking heap of idiotic asininity.So, in conclusion - I will bring my angry commentary to its abrupt end by simply saying that I sure hope that this sort of "zombie-turned-love-story" movie isn't going to become the latest trend.Sheesh! Spare me that ultimate torture!
