A misfire of Biblical proportions

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2013)

This movie did for the Zombie genre what SW I: The Phantom Menace did for the Star Wars franchise. There were a lot of hype and chatter about the movie that will end all zombie movies, but instead we have Mr. Rogers is chopping arms off off screen: The magical journey around the world.
I thought that Hollywood would never sink so low after the cheesy virus upload in Independence Day. There are so many plot holes in the movies that it has become the only thing holding it together. One would assume that the communication channels would be more intact (and there weren't any 20 minutes into the movie) and yet at the end of the movie it was suggested that all is working fine and dandy, which means the zombie hordes didn't overrun the power companies??? This movie is what happens if the only movies the director ever saw was Starship Troopers, Independence Day,2012, Jurassic Park and 28 day later (the latter being a superior movie to this one). I think the main villain of this movie is Brad Pitt's character because everywhere he turns up, things goes from just about fine to disastrous.
Anyway, this is NOT a zombie movie, it's a Brad Pitt movie. It's not a tragedy when someone arms gets chopped off and the victim almost kind of yells: "Jiminy Cricket mister! You just chopped my arm off". The end monologue was so corny and cheesy that that alone is enough to ask your ticket money back. In any case, a zombie movie where all the biting and gore happens off screen is like a cowboy movie without the cowboys. The only selling point of this movie is the swarming of the zombies, all 4 minutes worth of it! If your thing is to watch CGI zombies climb on top of each other, then WWZ is four you.
