If your going to remake a classic - Heres a fine example of how it should be done

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2004)

Being a fan of the original i went to the cinema to see this expecting the usual dull inferior Hollywood remake and was more than surprised to find a hugely enjoyable re-envisioning of George Romeros classic
Zack Snyder (director) and James Gunn(writer) have done the impossible and created a , dare i say it, SUPERIOR version of Dawn .....
This time round the film has a much more pacey feel to it and is filled with some truly engaging and memorable characters - CJ the security guard springing straight to mind
For the gore fans there is bucketloads of it sloshed around the screen and some genuine "jump out of your seat" moments to cause even the strongest of hearts to beat a little faster!
The script has been changed enough from the original to give it a fresh new feel whilst still sticking to the originals core elements, and feels much more satisfying all round
All in all a very good debut from the first time director
If you like Zombie films - this is a must!!
8/10
