Land Of The Dead Review

I saw this movie opening minute of course, thanks to Darren we actually ended up in Schaumburg with a theater full of some of the strangest people I've ever seen. This one drunk guy behind us wouldn't shut up the whole movie, left halfway through for a smoke, then right at the end of the movie just got up and said, "There are just some people who have to ruin the movie for everyone." Rocco and I about died laughing at that point. Needless to say it was one of the worst audiences I've ever been in, but now onto the movie itself.

SPOILER WARNING
This movie was a typical Romero horror movie, I haven't seen them all but they don't impress me that much, and I'm not a fan of the genre anyways... As far as this one goes, I thought it was funnier than scary. There were a couple shock scenes, but no real element of fear or horror underlying them. Also, half the movie wasn't even about zombies, but about the little guys fighting The Man, like any other Good Vs. Evil movie with the walking dead. As far as the ending is concerned, lets all pack up our things and head to where it is quiet.... Canada. The End. Nice, right? Darren sat through the credits telling us there would be a secret ending for the fans that stayed, too bad Romero tricked him, poor guy.
END SPOILER

Overall: 6 of 10
If you love zombies (or Romero) go see it, otherwise take a pass.
