Pay no heed to the negative rants from pseudo-intellectuals

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2008)

It is abundantly clear that there is a highly vociferous subculture that truly hates this film. From what I can deduce from continuous flow of comments from these proud, self-proclaimed superior "bigger brain" people, there is a common thread of anger:
1 - The movie did not adhere to the book plot 2 - The CGI zombies were not sufficiently realistic 3 - The plot had portions that did not "hold water" 4 - There was a religious message embedded into the last scene
If any of these things would render you unable to enjoy the film, then stay away.
Otherwise, in the even that you could find it within your admittedly normalized intellect to appreciate excellent acting, great cinematography, superb sound/audio and visually interesting effects as part of a thoroughly entertaining film, then watch this movie.
Bear in mind that generally faith-phobic individuals may not able to see past any amount of the the film's overall quality and simply find themselves just nauseated by any reference to the existence of God. But those that can somehow stomach this will still enjoy a very entertaining movie.
It is scary, thrilling, occasionally funny, tragic, exciting and extremely thought-provoking.
Do not pay any attention to the cynical, self-consumed smartypants that want to tell you this film is garbage. Watch it and make your own determination. I think you will like it.
