brilliant...except they killed bernard *cough*dylan*cough*david

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2005)

the only reason i rented this movie was that there was a half price deal on the second movie at my local video ezy and my boyfriend is a fanatical black books fan and i felt he deserved something for agreeing to watch bridget jones two with me. bridget jones! ha! (not that it's not a watchable movie...with a great fight scene. but ha!) i've never seen a zombie flick, and i didn't watch this as a zombie flick, and everyone who complains about it in terms of it being a zombie flick needs to understand that simon pegg is a comedian. but! people also need to understand it's not a spoof. this is spaced humour, this is black books humour. this is *that type of British comedy* humour. and it's bloody hilarious. my only complaint is David's death, and not just because i, like my boyfriend, am a black books fanatic, but also because up until then the movie hadn't been particularly gruesome, so disemboweling, however fake it looked upon repeat viewings, was a bit of a shock. and i have to admit the end was an anti-climax both dramatically and comedically. but i'm willing to overlook this on account of its humour, originality, and the fun we had going "hey! that's the girl from episode whatzit of black books" or" i know. ed was the security security security guy!" oh, and i read somewhere someone complaining about how the movie broke away from "zombie fact". zombie FACT?? .......................
