Tagged for spoilers, but this movie has no surprises

Rating: 3/10 (2 November 2015)

World War Z is a book I admittedly haven't read, but what I do know about it sounds like an interesting and unique take on the now-tired zombie genre. This in-name-only adaptation is the most by-the-numbers zombie movie I have ever seen. The plot is predictable, to the extreme that I was able to predict the dialogue as it happened. The characters are flat and Brad Pitt gives a disinterested performance, likely due to all the re-shoots that only seem to have added to the confusion in the narrative. On the whole I'd call this something of a sub-par prequel to I Am Legend, which isn't a perfect movie either, but it does enough with the formula for me to recommend it over WWZ.
P.S. I was highly disappointed that a film titled World War "Z" had no Super Saiyans to speak of.
