Caught an early screening of World War Z (No spoilers)
 

Well, I must say I was slightly disappointed by the movie. The movie is predictably enough NOT the book. I would say the movie takes place at the same time the stories in the book were taking place. I guess Max Brooks didn't want Brad Pitt to make a direct adaptation of the book.

The cons -

- It was long (2 hours I think). The structure of the movie felt like a nightmare (in a somewhat good way). But there was something in the ending I found forced. By the end of the movie, you know there's going to be a sequel but possibly without the Pitt character.

- Most of the more original thrills and chills have all been shown in the trailer.

- It is fucking PG-13 zombie movie!!!! That already tells you how much it will suck.

- There's surprisingly not much gore and blood. No signature death scenes.

- Infection and the person succumbing to whatever is causing the zombification was pretty quick. Quicker than 48 Days.

- There was some oddball resolution near the end (i.e. in coping with the problem of zombies) which I found contrived and felt off. This resolution wasn't in the book (I think).

- The movie is structured a bit like Soderbergh's OUTBREAK but with zombies.

- The Dawn of the Dead remake was no contest better!

The pros -

- It's a popcorn movie.

- It's a movie you can bring your family in. It can also be a date movie.

You lost me at pg13. I can't believe they did that. Hell I think even shaun of the dead was restricted.

Shawn of the dead was a great movie

I would call a spoiler : "By the end of the movie, you know there's going to be a sequel but possibly without the Pitt character."

Going to see it tonight. Never read the book so I have no idea what's in store other than what I've seen in the trailer.

I liked the book and really want to like the movie. I usually like movies others piss on because I take them for what they are. Just visual entertainment.

Just seen it and loved it i bit different and im not sure you could really call them zombies but still a great movie

and this is where i stopped reading, thanks for the heads up :1orglaugh:thumbsup

I read The Zombie Survival Guide (prequel) and World War Z so now I have to see the damn movie. Sad that I'm not really looking forward to it. Fucking Hollywood....

not really, just about every movie ever made can have a sequel made out of it.

pg-13?? :helpme that means the zombies dont have teeth :(

Why a sequel nothing made me think that

Was interested at first, but i'll probably skip this one at the cinema to be honest...

I had read a little while back that there is discussions to make this a trilogy of movies. I imagine a lot depends on how this one does.
