Thrilling but too Hollywoodish at times

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2005)

As a fan of the original DotD I was partially satisfied with this remake. The storyline is just right at creating the necessary end of the world feel. The acting, while not remarkable, does the job. The blood bath, which was a very important part as this was supposed the be a remake of a Romero movie, a gore god in the horror community, was also satisfactory, with some awesome scenes like the zombie-leg-chopping chainsaw sequence. Plus, I really enjoyed the use of music in this film.
On the other hand, I thought the characters could've been paid a little more attention to. Some of them are extremely one-dimensional that you don't even care about what happens with them. No, I don't think the movie needed to develop each individual, but there are ways to make a character interesting without wasting too much time, just ask Tarantino or Guy Ritchie.
But these are minor flaws. Like I said, I really enjoyed the movie and as horror fan I sure will soon be adding the DVD to my collection.
