So I went to see this in theaters today! It was actually playing in a theater!
Firstly, I am a huge Romero fanboy. I am willing to admit that LotD was shit, but I also admit to owning it.
Secondly, I think this was a good movie. Not a good Romero movie, or even a good zombie movie. A good movie. It provided a neat perspective, and was not too campy. Sure, there was a deaf Amish guy and an alcoholic professor who were a little ridiculous, but they either appeared very briefly or were played down enough.
I really loved it. Maybe people will see it someday and disagree, but I thought it was good.
