Think about it, if they simply did a direct adaptation of events told in the book (such as Yonkers, India/Pakistan, Japanese monk/otaku guy, etc) it would have led to a much more fulfilling (to me) film. Also fast zombies, just no. Having fast raging zombies in WWZ takes away from the horror of zombies depicted in the books; the persistent, unthinking ghoul with no goal but to destroy humanity (and human response to this, z-shock). Instead you have these raging monkeys that invoke the feeling of an unruly, angry mob. Also woulda been fun to see quislings, and wars with secessionist states in the USA | ||

You think the slow ones are more scary? That's just...wrong on so many levels. The zombies in this film are exactly like the book zombies except MORE dangerous because of their speed. How is this not just common sense? | ||

Granted, that may not be a bad thing. The large-scale zombie assaults look interesting. They definitely did something unique with their movements. I guess it all depends on how good the movie is. Odds are, it's just going to be another terrible zombie movie that used a good book as a crutch to get more sales. It still has a fairly good chance to do something right, though, and create a genuinely good movie. | ||

It looks digestible and forgettable like all zombie movies. I'm most grateful for the reminder to reread the book. | ||

But yes, it's a shame that they put the name "World War Z" on it. | ||
