The one word I would use to describe this movie is BORING

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2010)

I didn't have very high expectation of this movie to begin with. Little did I know I was about to be proved wrong about my expectations.
To keep it simple - it was terrible. Much, much worse than I thought it was going to be.
If I'm being completely honest, it actually started out quite entertaining. The list of rules on how to deal with zombies, the guy who played World of Warcraft so much he didn't know about the zombie plague, the semi-deranged middle aged man with the four wheel drive designed for ploughing down zombies. At this point I thought I could have been wrong about this movie... But after all that, it just kept getting worse, and more than anything - boring.
I found the two female characters (named Wichita and Little Rock), who cross paths with Tallahassee and Columbus (the males) extremely irritating. I think they were supposed to be witty, maybe? Clever? I'm not sure. But I never built up a likeness for them at all. I didn't care about them or what happened to them. Which I actually found quite sad because I found Abigail Breslin amazing in Little Miss Sunshine.
After the two males meet the girls, is when the huge amount of nothing begins and hence the boringness sets in. The film is called Zombieland, but there are hardly any zombies throughout the film (until the very end, when the girls need saving from the zombies. But even then, the end 'fight' as you may like to call it, wasn't very epic either) It becomes more about the dysfunctional love connection between Columbus and Wichita rather than what the movie title suggests. You know your average cliché storyline that gets reused time and time again? Zombieland is a prime example of this type of story. Apart from that, I can't think of very much else to say about this film except its just a whole lot of mindless, un-entertaining cinema . I'm not sure how long there is a lack of action, but I'm guessing a good hour. The actors weren't bad either, which probably makes it even more of a disappointment because it had the potential to be better - but with a totally different storyline, so maybe not...
This film was just plain rubbish. The fact that I'm 16 and saying this is a pretty big deal, considering the fact that movies like this are supposed to appeal to my age group. I would recommend you pass on this one. Even though it may look enticing, it definitely isn't as good as you would like to think it is.
I rated this movie a 2, rather than a 1, for the good beginning.
