Just not a good zombie movie.

Rating: 1/10 (14 October 2013)

I was about 30 minutes into World War Z when it became glaringly apparent that the filmmakers were going through great lengths to avoid including blood and violence. Honestly, historically speaking, gore has probably been more important to the zombie genre than story (which is incredibly weak in this movie, anyway). Pitt is terribly unconvincing as a stay-at-home dad that is secretly a badass (and apparently way smarter than the worldwide scientific community). If you genuinely like zombie movies, you will not like World War Z. If you like the book, you'll be disappointed by this movie. Apparently, Brad Pitt is going around saying he wanted this movie to be PG-13, so his kids could see it. That's absolutely untrue. This movie is PG-13, so they could make a profit. It had an incredibly high budget, and they needed it to be more accessible, as to recoup that money. Make no mistake, this is a Brad Pitt vanity project.
