I am glad that this is an interpretation off World War Z, and not a direct port 1) It's a new story, so it isn't like im reading the book again in Audio-Video format. 2) It's written by Max Brooks. If you liked World War Z and Survivor's Guide, then this should be very similar in spirit. I don't get what the point of having book ports is. Get an imagination (or your favorite recreational drug) and read the book again. I for one am glad that it is a different take on the World War Z story, with a focus that is reasonable for a motion picture. | ||

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? Its not scary in any way. It will only lead to the usual jump scares of they "almost" catching you. Its cheap and not exciting in any way. Its like people with low attention spand needs non stop action, so slow zombies will make them fall asleep, because they need constant stimulation. The slow moving zombies were and will always be the best IMO. Them moving fast kinda takes the zombie out of them. They are meant to be slow mindless ghouls that swarms and eat your flesh. I think its the reason why the 28 day series made the term "rage virus" because they werent actually zombies. People just think of them as, because they were biting etc. Its like Twillight with vampires. they are supposed to be dark soulless being that suck your blood, but now they sparkle. And the zombies are now angry people on steroids that can run faster then Usain Bolt. | ||

How is this not just common sense? Although common sense dictates that having more life-threatening situations is scarier, having fast zombies cheapens the zombie genre by simply degenerating the zombie ideal. It defeats the purpose of the zombie in its representation of death and the inevitability of human mortality, creeping slowly and catching up to humans. The concept of having a slow, lumbering, and completely calm entity that only exists to exterminate living life is, to me, the most important part of zombies. Also, it makes no fuckin sense unless they are some virus infected humans, and still, having limbs bitten and torn off really doesnt help much with mobility. | ||

How is this not just common sense? The horror of zombies was never in their physical threat, but in how they were a twisted, relentless mockery of humanity. The dread, and feeling of wrongness. | ||

It's the humans in a zombie movie that make it scary. Or rather, how humans react to the effects of a zombie apocalypse. That's why World War Z was such a good book, it focused on the human reaction to adversity. | ||

Taking into consideration that it is supposed to be an adaptation of the novel, it actually pisses me off that they screwed it up so bad. Fucking idiots. Will not see.

If you think this movie deserves anything but negative attention for how badly it has butchered the source material while still calling itself World War Z then I don't know what you tell you... On the other hand, you sound like someone who probably howls and cheers like a chimpanzee about every Uwe Boll adaptation. | ||

And what the fuck is with the sprinting, wall climbing zombies? Even in the WWZ books they were like, power walking speed at best, not running through the streets and crawling up walls with the speed of a thousand cheetahs. | ||
