Ridiculous and Egocentric.

Rating: 2/10 (11 March 2008)

This movie was shamefully bad. I love zombie movies, and most all genres of thrillers and horror flicks. I also like intelligent comedy. This movie was poor in all accounts.
I thought the concept was great for a movie. It's not a unique story, but I felt there was a chance of success with Will Smith lending credibility to the main role. He doesn't participate in a lot of Oscar worthy films, but the man can act. (See Six Degrees of Separation).
However, this movie was a huge farce. To try and use a zombie movie in an attempt to create an artistic film about character development is ridiculously paradoxical. It does no justice to the actor(s) or story.
While I agree that Smith's acting was realistic and believable, the content itself was dull and monotonous. The ending was intentionally cut to leave little satisfaction, and as always, the possibility of a sequel.
I sincerely hope for the sake of us all that this drivel does not turn into a multi-installment franchise.
And, as a side note, if I wanted to watch an hour of video footage of Will Smith playing with a dog, I would stalk well-known Hollywood parks, and save myself $10 of admission.
