Enjoyable Screw Up

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2004)

As a Romero follower, I was p***ed off how the director of this movie completely screwed the original story line. Taking the original focus characters of three to over ten took away a a lot of the character development the original had. But i was happy to see the director keep similar traits that the original leads had. Ving Rhames did a great job playing the parallel of Ken Foree, even though no one can be as bad a$$ as SWATman Peter. What really bothered me was the zombies. Romero made his zombies slow, stumbling creatures. Similar Setting, similar characters, but still lacking what the original had.
Though the adaptation of this movie was disappointing, as a horror movie it was awesome. The makeup artist did a phenomenal job.The blood splatter, the shooting, the gore. It was pure eye candy to a horror fanatic. All in all id give this movie a 7.5
