Starred Well, Plodded Slowly, Ended Boring

Rating: 3/10 (30 March 2015)

Zack Snyder really wanted to make this Romero's classic movie a 21st Century zombie horror flick. He did a lot, true. As a result, what we see here is a mish-mash of all clichés possible, and every time you watch some certain scene, you scratch your head as if trying to recollect whether you've seen this already in many more such like movies, and you'll be right. We have seen this all before many times, and we are not impressed. One good thing did come out of that, though - Shaun Of The Dead, that hilarious parody film with great Simon Pegg as a lead. They parodied all the key moments of Dawn, with all those inevitable and highly predictable moments. Any redeeming feature in This flick? Maybe, the very beginning, with the family breakdown and initial panic spread out. All the rest is a yawning fest with all the hugely exaggerated scenes of cartoonish violence and long, slow talks. Watch it once, for curiosity's sake, and quickly dismiss.
