Too bad the marketing ruined it

Rating: 6/10 (2 February 2013)

I've read the book and like most adaptations, it would be easy to say the book was better. This one is not the exception, unfortunately. But let's focus on the movie.
What ruined this movie is the simple fact that they spoiled the entire story in the trailers and marketing. "Their love is the cure". Seriously? Am I supposed to hope they DON'T fall in love? They could have based the trailers and marketing on the fact that "R" (Nicholas Hoult) is a self-aware, thinking and undead zombie and it would be enough to make me wonder what a zombie's life is about. They thought knowing the climax from the start wasn't a problem apparently.
For those who like to compare this to the Twilight franchise, personally I wouldn't. It's not meant to be neither epic or a "saga". Yes, it's a surreal teenager love story but they clearly don't have the same approach. If you look for Twi-like movies, watch the trailers before Warm Bodies and you'll find plenty.
This movie is still somewhat fun with some funny lines and expressions but quite inconsistent. The characters felt dry and shallow. The drama bits were barely affecting the characters or the story. The action is basic and mostly made of CGI. The story felt simply felt rushed and there was no tension to keep me entertained.
Maybe this flick will appeal to younger people and those who haven't read the book but as a movie on it's own, I can't give it more than a 6/10. It's an "ok" movie.
