A pretty good zombie movie!

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2009)

Zombies are something we will never grow tired of. For generations there have been countless zombie movies, as we, the audience, just can't get enough of people chomping on the bone matter of other people. But with so many zombie movies out there, one can't help but strike similarities with each other. Seen one zombie movie, you've seen them all, right? So what makes this zombie movie different from the rest? Zombieland is a comedy movie, not a horror movie. While some scenes are played for shocks and horror, the majority of the film plays on the comedy aspect, even in horrific situations! However, I personally believe that is the downside to this film. While this film is a comedy, I like my movies with mixes of genres. The movie could have done with some proper horror scenes.
That leads to the next point. The humour. The humour is very predictable and somewhat childish, so if you are someone looking for a smart and adult movie, look elsewhere. That said, the humour does work in areas, especially with a certain someone in their house.
The movie does do things right. It is surprisingly well written, the characters developed enough to keep us entertained. The zombies look great, and the kills are glorifying! And what else can you ask from a zombie movie aside from some great kills and humour to go with it? The movie entertains and it does it well, but if you are looking for somewhat long lasting and will be remembered in years to come, look elsewhere. This is not for you.
