I was not disappointed!

I'll try to keep this spoiler free, but there might be some minor ones ahead.
As a zombie nut and a casual fan of English humor, I've been waiting Shaun to hit the US since before it's UK release back in April. I hadn't watched a movie in theaters since 1999, but I held out and did not view the internet captures or the bootlegs that were out over the summer. I wanted to see this one in the theaters and had high hopes.
On Thursday, I caught an advanced screening, and Shaun of the Dead delivered! As a zombie fan, I dug the nods to other zombie movies that popped up throughout the movie and the use of the Goblin soundtrack from Dawn of the Dead. The scene where Shaun and Ed finally notice that the dead are walking is hilarious, and the reactions to the zombies were well done in a human and dead pan manner. I'll just say that I agree with a lot of people who have said that this is right up there with Romero's trilogy and is the best zombie movie I have seen since at least the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead.
The rest of the audience enjoyed the movie, and laughed in many of the same spots I did, so it wasn't just me.
I'll probably see this one again before it hits DVD in the states, and I recommend anyone else to give Shaun of the Dead a view.
