Fast-paced, very funny, well-balanced

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2009)

Woody Harrelson came to me in a dream last night and told me to see this movie...not really, but he might as well have. I went in with a few reservations, including the seemingly common fear that it would follow heavily in the footsteps of Shaun Of The Dead, which I love dearly. My worries proved to be unfounded. Having only seen the trailer once or twice, I didn't think about it much before seeing it, and I wasn't disappointed.
I won't discuss the plot or reveal any spoilers, as I really can't add anything that hasn't already been said, but I will say one of the most enjoyable aspects of the movie is it's pace. It's very fast-paced, gets started right away, and doesn't stop, making the most out of it's 90-minutes. One of the most enjoyable intros I've seen, and definitely tops among zombie movies.
Just the right amount of gore, fun, engaging action, and hilarious dialogues/characters. Casting was dead on, done as a zombie apocalypse movie should be, with only a few pivotal characters, and Woody Harrelson simply made this movie. Cinematography and production was incredible, a very sleek, very modern, and accessible movie. I'm tempted to go see it again, as I really can't say enough good about Zombieland. As another reviewer said, the most fun I've had in a movie theater in a long time.
