Gory fun!

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2014)

Rating-7/10
Zombieland is a horror comedy which combines all the elements you expect to create a movie with true humour and gore. With a good cast also bringing along the extra fire power, this film tries and succeeds in never quite being too serious but still being very interesting in the story and the actual heart which has been put in to producing this piece. Overall I found this safely a good film and here below is why so.
The story is fun but also dark but never dark enough to horrify but never light enough to not feel grossed out. It has it's best moments mostly in the middle with some great things going on and some great characters just thinking up crazy things to do in a crazy world. I felt the comedy is slightly lacking in way of crying out loud but it still manages to throw in a few chuckles and some good jokes here and there.
Jesse Eisenberg is good as Columbus but it does feel with his characters a bit, done it all before and a personality that can kind of annoy. Woody Harrelson for me was the star of this movie, such a crazy and wild performance from which the majority of jokes derive from. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin contribute well all the way through and although never being so funny, they do well in the more sweet moments in the movie.
It is directed well and the writing is on the same level, both seem to mix together well and there is a lot of smart kind of things that go on within in the screenplay. For me the best behind the camera thing is well, behind the camera. The cinematography is wonderful and done very well all the way through the movie, just very nice to look at especially in the more thrilling scenes.
The main problems are the slow story and the lack of big jokes as I've already mentioned. The plot never quite gets going too much and you never feel a great amount of adrenaline or nerves for the characters that so often can link you with a films story. The jokes don't stream like rain but when they do come there OK, but not good and so when you compare the jokes to the overall fun of the entire plot, they don't so much match up very well.
If you like your horror you should absolutely love this but if you want funny kind of deaths then you may not necessarily like this. If your looking for a great comedy then this isn't actually GREAT but it is good, it has a lot of funny times and actually some quite memorable moments but still isn't pure gold to be fair. If you like your blood and guts then this is for you, very graphic indeed and in some scenes you just think "would that really happen in real life", (although they are in a zombie world).
Overall I give this a 7/10 and found it to be Safely a Sound movie which although never becoming Very Good, is definitely more than just OK. I feel with this that it tries very hard to be a classic movie and too much so and although not being far off, still isn't one I'd lock away to watch in a thousand years. Watch and enjoy it and you should to be fair very much have a good time, even if you hate violence and gore you should still have a great adventure in a zombie infested land.
