Hard to veiw as a remake

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2005)

I love this movie as I do the original Romero film. But I find it very hard to compare them. The original is a great horror satire that has some great laughs in it. But the "remake" is a fantastic horror/drama.
I find it hard to call this film a remake because it only shares three things with the original.Title,zombies, and a mall. All the characters and plot are very much different. One think this should be viewed as it's own film and any die hard fan of Romero's classic should go in with an open mind.
This movie has one of the greatest opening's of any horror film ever made. Puts you in a peaceful world for alittle while and then takes you to hell and just does not give an inch. Directing and acting all top notch on this one.
