When there'll be no more ideas in Hollywood, the remakes will walk the earth. This one shouldn't!

Rating: 1/10 (18 October 2006)

*Dawn Of The SPOILERS*
A group of people, including the why-didn't-she-die Ana (Sarah Polley), who is WASP to the DNA but has a Hispanic name (first WTF), the black burly cop Kenneth (Ving Rhames) who is a stereotype who could as well say 'I'm tired of these mother----ing zombies out of this mother----ing mall!', given that it's the same character, and a lot of other characters who you can't care for (except for Michael (Jake Weber)) are in a mall and attacked by zombies.
Who will survive? And the most important question: will anyone CARE? I really, REALLY don't understand what to make of this movie; it isn't scary, it isn't suspenseful, it has characters I don't give a damn whether they live or die (and in some cases, like Ana's, really hope to see them die), it has way too much gore and is riddled with clichÃ©s.
It's a movie to give to Joel, Mike and the 'bots.
What I'm happy of, is that while the original will always stand tall, this remake has already been forgotten after two years of it being out.
The only saving grace (and reason why I didn't sell my DVD) is the mock-newscast; I felt more for that newscaster than how I felt for the entire cast of this crap movie.
So, in short; there are good remakes, after all.
But this one is not.
Dawn Of The Dead (2004): 1/10.
