Many Missed Opportunities

Rating: 5/10 (3 November 2013)

This movie could have been really a great work. Will Snith IS a superb actor, and he can save almost any poor script, but here there are many weak spots, and generally, the movie is very predictable, so even great Will cannot help it. The movie is shot well, that is what I gave it a 5, special effects are very decent, and empty New York really seems grand. The doggy is a real cute, and she saves most of the weaker spots with her genuine canine simplicity. Yes, this is all good. But then, the zombies. Did we see them all before? Sure, we did. And many times and in many similar films. They run, eat, roar, howl, yell, yelp and scream. They are ghouls, real monsters. This is all good, too. But not fresh and not original in any sense. We saw it all before. We can easily predict what will happen soon and who will die. Well, if you want a better zombie movie, try Resident Evil, Part 1 - this is really a better take on the topic of flesh eaters. So, the conclusion? Not bad, but not so great or fresh
