hmmm world war zzzzzzz

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2013)

I gave the movie the chance that it just might work but sadly I was disappointed. I went in hoping the surrounding bad reviews were wrong but they weren't. It was bad. It doesn't even reach average. Sad really as, in the right hands, it could have been awesome. But it was left as nothing more than just another "Brad saves the world" gig. I have read the book and there was no way it could be confined to two hours. Although it has some references to the book they are few. I will not put spoilers in and as a massive fan of the book I would suggest if you too have read it don't waste your cash on the movie. You will be painfully disappointed. It doesn't even work s a stand alone movie disconnected from the book. All we can hope is that a TV production company will pick it up and do what should have been done. Turn it into a proper series with each weekly hour spent on each story or at least the best of them. It won't happen. Not with the Walking Dead out there.
