Zack Snyder's remake of Dawn of the dead

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2007)

Zack Snyder's remake of Dawn of the dead proves he is a good director. I was impressed with the effort put into the special effects. I was disappointed by the fact that they did not stick more to George Romero's original plot. There were major differences and more character's seeking refuge in the mall. A select few of the character's were rather annoying and a few of the actors performance's could of been better. Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, and Jake Weber gave the better performance's in this film. Their plans to go to an island on Steve's boat go awry and the ending is very vague. My thought is the ending was left that way in case they want to do a sequel in the future. Overall it is not the director's fault the script was lacking a bit. This film would of been much better with a few script changes and a few of the character's being eliminanted. But sill it is worth watching.
