I saw 4 zombie films since the last time I posted a movie review, well admittedly only one was a TRUE zombie film in my opinion, but that’s besides the point. Anyhow, here are the reviews.
I am Legend
For some reason, I cant even begin to phantom why, I decided to temporarily lift the ban on Will Smith (*spit*) movies and watch this movie. In retrospect I should have trusted the gut feeling which said ‘Don’t do it you fucking idiot, what the hell are you thinking?!’. Either way the damage is done, I watched it and it sucked. Have you ever heard what doctors often say, “the brain has a miraculous ability to heal”. Well this must be true, cause I cant remember shit about the movie except that it SUCKED, and that lifting a Will Smith (*spit*curse*) ban is no longer an option.
rating: 1.3 / 10
Doomsday
Unlike a certain shitty movie listed above, this movie started out pretty good. But from about the middle of the movie, when the punk gang and Renaissance fair crew make their appearance it’s a steady drop until rock bottom is hit, with the very forced, completely ridiculous and utterly LAME car chase in the end.
rating: 2.5 / 10
Planet Terror
Hehe, this is the funniest zombie I’ve seen since Shaun of the dead. Well It’s the only humorous zombie film I’ve seen since Shaun of the dead, but still.. The movie is very entertaining, the violence is great and the story is much better than doomsday + I am Legend put together. Great acting, special effects, etc..
rating: 8 / 10
Diary of the dead
Damn.. I really expected more from Romero. I know it’s independently produced, low budget and all that.. But the story was lame, the characters where uninteresting (except for the brief appearance of the deaf Amish) and the movie was just a big yawn. The concept of a video-diary from a zombie event could have been pretty cool, however this movie totally fails to deliver.
rating: 3 / 10
Conclusion, zombie movies of lately genereally seems to suck. The only time I was even remotely frightened by the movies above was each time I saw Will Smiths face in I am Legend.
