Very good for a remake

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2008)

This was a great remake of the already great Dawn of the Dead. This was pretty much a new movie based on the concept of the original. This movie did not really stick to the original...which is actually a good thing. I like when remakes come up with new ideas of their own. I liked the more modernized feel this movie brought with it. Also, there were a lot more main characters to root for, which I enjoyed. There was a variety of them too, rich, hick, jerk, crook, cop, nurse, truckers, doctor, model, you name it. I liked Andy, the gun shop owner across the street. He made me laugh a few times, along with Ving Rhames. Also there were new zombies. These zombies were faster and much more deadly than the original ones. Although I enjoyed this movie, it had its share of flaws I think. But don't let that stop you from watching this. I recommend this movie to fans of zombie movies, and maybe even to fans of the original Dawn of the Dead and the rest of Romero's "Dead" series. 8/10
