I think i want this disease the humans get

Rating: 6/10 (27 February 2008)

Not a bad movie... however one thing that really bugs me... why is it when writer/directors decide to go with CGI bad guys, that they decide to give them superhuman powers??? I'm not going into any spoilers i don't believe, i'm just talking general behavior of the bad guys. OK so there's a big virus that spreads, and the pre-movie-release Press/Media calls them zombies because zombies are big now, and "World War Z" is on the horizon, so i think people want traditional zombies... Well, we discover that these aren't traditional zombies.... OK, a bit disappointed, but i can handle it.
However, once they start running 100 miles per hour, climbing up light poles like a lizard, jumping from the top of said pole 30 feet to the wall (i won't even mention those that could climb vertical walls faster than most 'real' humans can walk).... well, i have to say it was absurd... How do i get this disease? sounds like i'd be better off if i could do crap like that. All i really need to do is stay out of the sun. It's clear the 'zombies/monsters/whatever' are organizing, experience love of sorts, and have a leader, even pets, so why is Will Smith fighting it so much? Wouldn't you like to be able to climb up a light pole in about 3 seconds? it'd probably take me a good 20 minutes, if i didn't slip and break my legs in the attempt which would more likely be the result.
This could have been a great movie but for some reason the Hollywood writers now insist on absurd CGI action to impress the audience. Maybe they should go back on strike. I'm tired of all of these 'blockbuster' movies being so ridiculously absurd that even when you're willing to suspend some disbelief for the sake of a movie, it completely transcends your limit.
I guess all i'm saying is did we REALLY need to see these 'monsters' shimmying up poles and walls? wouldn't it have been spookier with a horde of them ripping down the door/first floor windows slowly and methodically????
