Not awful, but all the same disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2013)

I am always up for a good zombie movie - emphasis on "GOOD". Most zombie movies I've seen have disappointed me, and "World War Z" is other notch on that list.
I haven't read the book the movie is based on, but I suspect it must have been a lot better than this. What went wrong? I'm not sure. Despite all the money that was thrown at this movie (including refilming the ending), the movie at times doesn't seem that expensive. Another problem is that the zombies themselves aren't explored closely. You never really get a sense of what they are like and what they can do. Why would they only bite people instead of eating them, like zombies in other movies? Well, that's probably because the movie stubbornly sticks to being at a PG-13 level. Yes, that's right - a zombie movie without that much blood and gore, which I know will annoy many horror fans.
Well, I guess the movie isn't THAT bad, but it's a big disappointment. I should note that I saw the movie for free at a theater. If I had paid any money to see it, I strongly suspect my review would have been a lot more scathing.
