disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (27 November 2013)

I'm so disappointed that I'm tempted to give a one star vote - but that would be unfair.
The reasons for my disappointment are: I expected something original, as the book the movie is supposed to be based on is very original. Also, if you have a cast like this, then you would be stupid to not invest in a decent script, right? And then, IMDb currently gives 7.1 stars...
The reality is: This is just an ordinary zombie movie, nothing original, let alone intelligent, in it. What's worse is that the script is crap: There are gaping holes in the plot's logic, so big, that they just spoiled the fun for me. To top it all they built this stupid super-social Hollywood-has-something-for-everybody attitude into a ZOMBIE MOVIE! Like children, wives and dogs getting on your nerves (but not getting killed for it). Like some multicultural "we're all the same" messages - when at the same time the hero is clearly elite.. The last thing I found great in the trailer but absent in the movie is good photography. If you've seen the trailer then you've seen all there is on offer.
