that was some hott shitt.
if you haven't seen it, this'll probably be full of spoilers:
good things
- savini cameo
- ken foree cameo (was it him or do all black people all just look the same? - the preacher doing the 'when there's no more room in hell...' line)
- the ending! i totally dug the ending even though half the cinema started to leave while the credits were rolling and then noticed they were stupid and stood in the ailes (sp) watching it...
- the chainsaw bit! i couldn't belive it - totally funny. bye bye 2 shitty characters.
- fat old lady impaled in the face - gross. i haven't seen a head spiking like that in a big hollywood movie since total fuckin recall. cool.
- someone else getting spiked in the head that i can't remember right now.
- guy with gun (non zombie) getting knocked down by ambulance - funny
- super slick rich guy....as played in the gayest style ever. what was that all about!? i seriously thought he was gay.
bad things:
- too many characters (trucker lady? who cares. blonde slutty lady? who cares. trucker man? who cares. 'andy' gun shop guy? who cares (although i guess thanks to michael moore you can no longer buy guns and bullets in shopping malls - we know who to blame when it all goes to shit and the dead start walking the earth and we can't kill them)
- fast zombies (they didn't even act like zombies, way too rabid...still a good movie, but y'know...it's not some fuckin fulci shit) - this totally killed off anny chance of slow creeping eerie vibes
- 'chips' the dog. BLAM.
- the redhead bitch (worst character ever). BLAM.
- redhead bitches boyfriend (second worst character ever). BLAM.
- the dog rescue mission. BLAM.
- CJ the bad cop turning into a martyr. zzzzzzzzzzz.
- 'flyboy 2' or whatever the main non black guys name was sacrificing himself at the end...
- fireproof everything (except for zombies) - i mean seriously...
- gunshot / shotguns have no effect on mesh fences (for at least 5 minutes of constant shooting anyway)
- some nu metal song during the credits
- last half hour shot in 28-day-later-o-vision Zzzzzzzzzzzz
- over the top score - when the camera rises up and shows the mall for the first time, the music was more fitting for the appearance of the gates of hell or something. i had to laugh.
- american flag shots - holy shit! that was so retarded on the boat. i half expected a picture of an eagle with a tear in its eye, the world trade center and "WE WILL NEVER FORGET" to start flashing on screen. L'haime.
best thing ever / worst thing ever:
- zombie baby! oh man...was that done as a joke? the lizard baby in V was better. had they had the zombie baby rip out of Ludas stomach, that'd be rad...but they didn't.
- it turns into the A-Team for about 20 minutes
weird:
i saw this thing on c4 on saturday night that showed the first 9 minutes of DOTD.....cept it didn't have any of the hospital scene at the start and instead of sterephonics coming on in the car, Weezer ('island in the sun') did...weird. different sound tracks for different countries?
anyway it was killer but not a patch on any of romero's 'proper' zombie movies...good fun shit.
