Amazing movie!

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2013)

Warm Bodies is a smart, funny and touching film about a zombie named R who saves Julie from a zombie attack. It has great performances, a brilliant script and intelligent directing.
First I need to talk about the two leads. I was a big fan of Teresa Palmer in I Am Number Four (underrated I think), where she showed that she could kick ass and take names. She still has an element of being tough in this movie, but the character is far more complex. She shows such a range of emotions that pull you in and make you fall in love with her as quickly as R does. Warm Bodies has been compared to Twilight (they were both made by Summit) and the criticisms that have been leveraged against the character of Bella (passive, submissive to Edward, not a good female role model etc.) are nowhere to be seen here. Julia is quite possibly the hero of the movie, but not by just being a 'male' character portrayed as a woman.
