Batsh#t Awesome!

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2012)

There are only a few times where I find that a movie is an incarnation of awesomeness. This is one of these times, because not only is "Zombieland" an excellent zombie film but it is also filled with humor and gives the viewer what he wants : laughs and gore.
Of course, the horror never goes beyond acceptable, and the director made sure that sensitive viewers would be able to forget about the gory things and focus on the jokes that comes with them. Practically all the violent moments are funny and Jessy Einsenberg is just perfect in his part. It feels like Mark Zuckerberg decided to randomly shout out zombies, with an excellent Woody cow-boy trying to find Twinkies. Emma stone and the other girl (I can't remember her name) were also convincing and overall the acting was quite good.
The hard rock soundtrack that comes along with the really good-looking special effects just fits perfectly to the film, and adds more of that "Fuck it" feeling. If you don't know what I mean, the entire movie should be taken as something completely crazy and bad-ass at the same time. Kind of like an action comedy in the style of "The Other Guys" but with zombies. It's never really serious like "Shaun of the Dead" was sometimes, which is why I preferred this movie. "Shaun of the Dead" had a different sense of humor and sometimes lost track of what it really wanted. It felt like if the director was hesitating between making a zombie film or a comedy. Here, it's never the case, the whole team knew what the wanted the ending result to be, and the made it.
Conclusion : awesome movie to watch with your friends and some beers to have a good laugh and spend a good evening. - A.C.
