6.5/10

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2013)

I'm aware this film is nothing like the book. I went into the film with an open mind. I'm glad I did! With all the bad press this production got ( re-writes, re-shoots, the feud between brad Pitt and the director Marc Forster, etc) I thought this movie was doomed to fail! All that aside it really wasn't that bad of a film. Yes the zombies ran, and I hated that about the film. There was practically NO GORE what so ever! There are a few very intense moments. The action and camera work was decent. Other things were iffy for me too. But! They totally try to set this film up for a franchise, and if they do they can make a much better WWZ film. They can completely expand on what they've started. And make this a worthwhile franchise. One episode of The Walking Dead is much more violent, bloody, and more of a textbook zombie story. A story witch I Prefer! But all and all this was still an entertaining summer film! Once again the 3D was done in post conversion and was pretty pointless to see it in 3D. I saw it on the RPX screen witch is almost an IMAX screen so I had no choice but to see it in 3D.
