Waste of money

Rating: 3/10 (14 July 2013)

Spoilers?The trailer itself is the first great spoiler.
A giant budget wasted this way. I didn't read the book, so that's not the problem. These movies try to hide how their plot sucks with great special effects. There are positive things in this movie, I liked some action scenes but that's it, all the other aspects aren't even decent, the plot is the main problem. This UN agent Gerry Lane(Brad Pitt) who travels across countries like he's the saviour of humanity and he's quite invincible, he gets injured only after the plane crash(he can survive any situation apparently).
The zombies are faster than Bolt and you can't distinguish them from normal people. When I saw the first attack I didn't understand why they were all running, then I got there were "zombies" amongst them. The attack of the zombies in Jerusalem?Come on, a stupid mic which does more noise than an airport. Can't the helicopter see that the zombies are climbing the wall?Then the same zombies fall from a great height and they get no damage at all. Sure.
Characters?The only character we see it's Gerry 'cause he has the main role, but we can't even know much about it, a former UN agent with some med and fighting skills, stop. The other characters are just background, they are dull, with no characterization at all. Gerry's family?Background. His "friend"?Background. The CIA agent?Background. The Israelian soldier?Background. The virologist?Not even background, I knew he was the first to die the right moment I saw him.
The last part is something speechless, the action rapidly falls down and we have this research lab, something horrible. They wasted Pierfrancesco Favino(I know him and he's a really good actor)in a useless role, Gerry, the soldier and him just make noise over noise during their "mission" and that's all. The final speech is just pathetic. Brad Pitt is a great actor, watch Se7en or Fight Club for example and you see the real Brad. There's really no suspense, if some character dies, we don't care.
Finally, the lack of gore doesn't help. The worst part of the movie is the 7.4 rating. Seriously?I mean, how many movies have almost the same rating and are far better than this?Many. World War Z is not a good movie with some flaws, it's a really bad movie with many flaws. Don't waste your money like I did.
