Typical Horror film, nothing out of the ordinary

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2004)

I had high hopes for "Dawn of the Dead". It looked like a typical horror/action movie, with just a little more style then the majority of films in its genre. However, the only thing that surprised me was how little the film had to offer. Yes, its a pretty cool movie while your watching it, but beyond that, its your run of the mill hollywood horror production thats ultimately forgettable. The movie had cool scenes here and there, but failed to develop an interesting plot besides a bunch of people shooting zombies and telling corny jokes. The performances were decent, but then again, it's not like it would be a challenge to play the part of a screaming, sarcastic idiot in an emergency situation. In other words, I probably should have waited for it to come to DVD.
