Ugh, you have to be joking. That movie was absolutely horrid compared to the original. I hated it, and I usually like anything and everything that has zombies. Zombies and robots, therein lie my creepy passions.

gotta admitted that Shaun of the Dead is real cracking thought! :D however Dawn of the Dead is much better than Romeo's recently zombie movie; Land of the Dead, it was awful! nice idea, but God he ruined his own classic!

It have to be, I love the Resident Evil game, but the movie completely ruined it.

I loved Shaun of the Dead! I thought it was absolutly fantastic. Very funny :)

I actually liked Land of the Dead. The acting was pretty bad and it was just a little too heavy on the social commentary, but the world was beautiful. The idea was awesome. It's never going to be one of my favorite movies or anything, but I certainly didn't walk out of the theater thinking "wow, that was a waste of an afternoon...." I did, however, feel that way about Dawn of the Dead.

Why? I think it was partially because I loved the original so much that this just felt wrong. I mean, you have something like the remake to Night of the Living Dead that took all the good parts of the original and made them even better. But this... It struck me as just another movie, nothing grade A about it.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but if I remember correctly, another major thing I didn't like about it was that they weren't true to zombiness. The zombies could run, they could move like anyone else. A zombie is partially decomposed flesh, to think that all the joints and muscles would still be up to par is just... bleagh. It struck me as a cheap trick, breaking the rules just to make it a bit scarier. It was one thing in 28 Days Later because they changed the whole nature of zombiness and made it more like rabbies. But if you are going to call it a zombie, don't have it be a runner.

Despite the fact Land of the Dead was awful (the acting, the script, etc.) but I still like it, the visual effect is pretty good despite some awful CGI (like the part where the rocket hit the checkpoint of the city) thought we still see Romeo's trademark gore, like when a zombie tear someone face from mouth to head.

the zombie could run if it were young, but rose from the dead (like the cemetery of recent burial) they'd walk, however, I'd think they'd try and learn how to walk because they've just been 'born' once the body is dead.

Kukushka:
I just can't see a decomposing corpse sprinting. To me, it makes it cheesy. The slowness is half the scary of zombies. It's like Mike Meyers. He never runs, just walks, yet he's always right behind you. That is intensely creepy.

When the zombie runs, it just looks silly. Like I said, it's breaking the rules for a cheap effect that, I think, really takes away from what makes zombies special. And while I do understand that a new zombie that hasn't decomposed much might possibly run, there's still things like rigor mortis to consider. Taking the stiffness of death away from zombies makes them less like the walking dead. That's what I loved about the Romero movies, it made us face the reality of death. Sprinting zombies strikes me of more a fantasy version of what death is, it puts a filter between me and death so that I am no longer scared by mortality, but rather by cheap creep-tactics.
