a brilliant remake that is a lot better than it has any right to be

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2012)

i am a huge fan of the original 'dawn of the dead' so i wasen't mega happy when they announced the remake, it took me a while to watch it, and when i did i loved it, what a brilliant zombie movie, that wasn't exactly the same as the original, but was always faithful, backed by a strong cast, some amazing gore, plus a cameo by tom savini, and you have one of the best zombie movies of the past decade, it's not quite as good as romero's own 'land of the dead' released not long after, it is however a fine companion to it. the only version i have seen is the directors cut. so i don't really know the differences between the two, bottom line is this is a must see movie, don't judge it as just some remake, because this is a brilliant zombie movie period
