a piece of crap

Rating: 2/10 (17 October 2009)

The trailer for this movie looked great, a zombie comedy with woody kicking ass. I even read reviews in the local paper that were giving it 4 out of 5 stars, and then saw the lofty rating on IMDb. So I had pretty high expectations going in. The result is probably one of the biggest let downs I have ever had at the movies. I kept waiting for the funny to come, and aside from the scenes with Bill Murray, all the remotely funny moments were covered in the preview. I kept waiting to laugh out loud but it never came. The premise had so much potential. Its like they just held back in scenes that I feel really could have been taken to another level or a bit farther and I would have enjoyed them. In the end I didn't care about the characters at all. It seems like the director found a super slow motion camera and decided to film a bunch of scenes that were pointless. I was so disappointed in this movie that I felt compelled to comment, this is my first comment ever on a movie. I would say this ranks as one of the worst I have ever seen, along with pootietang. And at least in seeing that movie I didn't have any lofty expectations coming in. As I was leaving the theater some other people were commenting that it was by far the worst movie they had ever seen. I've read of comparisons to shaun of the dead, I enjoyed shaun of the dead a great deal. Shaun is leaps and bounds funnier and more intelligent then zombieland. I did not enjoy this movie. Don't believe the hype.
