What angers me the most is that the book is actually a really unique take on the genre. It's not about some doctor running from zombies and explosions, or another group of survivors holed up surviving. The book is actually just a series of interviews with people who survived, from all walks of life. It's treated like the notes of a historian just a few years after the event has passed, and it focuses on all the aspects of a world under zombie attack, the politics, the strategies, the changes made to everyday life. The book doesn't end with them curing the infection, it ends with people learning how to live comfortably with the fact that there are walking corpses that will try to kill you out there. The book shows how human beings are able to adapt to nearly any situation, but also shows that such adaptation takes time. That is far more interesting than, Zombies!, Running!, Explosions!
I loved the book. When i saw the trailer for this movie i was a little skeptical cause the zombies ran but was still excited because i thought it was supposed to show the authors experiences during the zombie war. But no it was completely unrelated.
Sounds cool, i might check it out now. Its good to hear about something that has a new take on zpmbie apocalypse
I don't really like zombie genres but I would read this book.
@@aquamarineancientsoul7893 there is a full wwz audiobook on youtube, its really cool.
Aaron Kitzmann the book was just so well written and to see this on the screen it should be considered a national tragedy
Nowadays is it really relatable to have a main character who is a family man? To be truly relatable he should probably be lonely, out of work, and knee deep in debt.
bloodrunsclear they don't make movies for neets tho
NEETs wouldnt be in debt though
Or they could’ve literally just kept the original script and had it be a documentary about survivors of the Z war being interviewed post-war and it would’ve been amazing.
millenial war z
Eh, I'm a millenial and I am a family guy. I'm a single dad so I do have the trait of having a whore of an ex who doesn't wanna be a mother.. hmmm..
I distinctly remember laughing in the theater when the scientist accidentally shot himself.
SAME
Everyone I know lost their shit at that scene
I've only seen this review and that whole bit made me shout 'THE FUCK-?!"
So....that's ONE way to get rid of a character that was 'needed'.
I thought he fell and cracked his skull open or was knocked out.
@@theturtleman986 it's what I thought until I watched CinemaSins video again and realized the idiot fucking shot himself.
14:59 Been rereading the book and just realized they 100% changed the place where the virus started from China (in the book) to South Korea to be more approachable for that sweet Chinese box office. Thank goodness no virus has ever originated in China
How embarrassing.
Man could you imagine if a virus originated in China and they evaded any consequences?
Dropping sick bars
You know a lot of people find the 'book was better' crowd really smug and annoying... but it's funny how they're often right and it's actually reflective of a bigger issue in creative expression. There's so much more room to explore controversial issues and themes in literature (or other things that shows and movies tend to abstain from, like making China look even remotely bad) without having to worry as much about what China or Russia think. I mean, books still get banned all the time, but it doesn't cost 100 million to publish a book. When you're making a movie, even on a relatively small budget, and trying to at least break even, you have to acknowledge that China and Russia are two big markets. It's amazing how many good stories get butchered, ultimately because of money - it's much more than 'they didn't add this or this from the book so it sucks!'
Lmao
Why was that kid screaming about wanting her blanket during all that conflict? If I was her age in that situation, I'd probably be screaming, "MOMMY, DADDY, HELP ME!!" or something along those lines. You know, something that a kid would naturally say when they're afraid. That kid didn't seem afraid, just agitated and brattish.
Normal kids: MOMMY, DADDY SAVE ME That kid:MOMMY, DADDY I WANT MY FAKING BLANKET
It's probably where she kept all of her dank weed.
Smoke weed eryday 420 BLAZE IT MLG

Because kids dont see the world as you do... I have had my kid leaving my eyesight to go lick a fucking window. I left her literally one second to pick up a check and she went and lick the fucking window. Not gross at all, not idiotic at all. Like a lot of adults who dont react, all children are different.
The reason this movie is so enraging for me is that it could have been _so cool_. The book version was written like non-fiction. If they had kept that idea and made the movie like it was a documentary it could have been incredibly unique and awesome. Instead we got a bland paint-by-numbers zombie movie.
Goddammit.
+theparkourhobo It would've been a great mockumentary.
+Arturo Casab Yes! that would be awesome!
+theparkourhobo We can only pray for a good TV series based on the novel. Each episode is an Interview or two.
Avensis Astari Woah. That would be incomprehensibly awesome. I really hope they do something like that, as unlikely as it probably is.
Unlikely, but we can hope. At least they've released a full audiobook that's voice-acted and amazing. :D

" It was a movie. "

" I remember I stayed awake for it."
Lol.
"The local cinema will give free pop-corn and drinks for the first 50 people."
Just once i want a zombie movie with a really dysfunctional family.
If Mark Tufo's book ever gets made into a movie, that would probably please you. But then again, that book is wild and has vamps and zombies
Shaun of the dead? I mean, Shaun's relationship with his stepdad wasn't great.
Night of the Living Dead

jaiake Sounds like Freaks of Nature. The movie was not good
Train to busan, a zombie movie with a kid that can act
Plus, she wasn't an annoying bitch.
"OoH, mOwMY, I nWEed my BwanKet"
@minty_ Thesaurus01 that's not out yet, we will see if it's any good when its released 😒
The child acting in that movie sucks though? And the SFX are awful. It’s only slightly better than WWZ. They have many of the same issues
One of the best zombie movies ever.
This would have been a great Netflix Show.... Since the book is basically episodes not one continuous story....
It would have made sense but ya know.
It could also work as a mockumentary, albeit a long one to get everything in it
Agree, the book is amazing , but the movie really suck.
Dude this is exactly what I’ve been saying for years I’m glad someone else feels the same way
@@EnolaGay15 By all accounts this movie should have been an easy hit. Big name title, right in the middle of the zombie craze, tons of money. They probably just figured that they didn't really have to try at all. And it shows.

I'll admit, as many times as it's been done, the fake newscasts are probably my favorite part of any zombie or disaster flick.
Hell, I'd watch a whole movie that was just fake news reports of a zombie outbreak as it happened. It would probably be more interesting than another found footage movie.
If someone who had some style did that, a movie that told the story entirely through news footage, it could actually be an awesome movie I bet.
+Haleophant Green Isn't that basically what the book was? Assembled reports & interviews from across the world about the zombie war?
I'm pretty sure, though I think it was mostly interviews in the aftermath of the infection. Which is still a great way of doing a zombie story, but I'd love to see film of newscasts or interviews as the event was happening.
Dio sends his regards
+Haleophant Green This could work as an art film.
This is why everybody watches Train to Busan instead.

Honestly i think is an overrated movie. I mean i liked it but it wasnt THAT good
“If we just add 50 consecutive cuts people will think it’s action”
lt. SpookyCarrot1 that is one of the reasons I barely ever watch action movies, because of how many cuts there are.... I can’t process what is going on
@@charliewegner Time to watch Killer Bean forever
Kinda like the Jason Bourne movies... every fight has about a 100 cuts in it to make the pace faster... but after awhile it gets confusing and annoying... wow... that move he just did would of been impressive if I could have actually seen it... but nope... next 1 second scene (if even that long) is next.
Precisely. Also you dont see anything. Game of Thrones did the same,cut every single swing so you can barely see whats happening, but ACTION.
It simply fits well.
I completely agree; a child actor can DESTROY a movie.
Jill Last Best example that comes to my mind is Paper Moon.
"now this is podracing"
Although, how do you destroy a dumpster fire exactly?
I don't see why this movie even needed prominent child characters; it certainly isn't essential to the whole zombie outbreak plot.
The movie A Quiet Place is the first movie i've seen where there are consequences for the idiot child.
Train to Busan is one of the very few movies where the child actor was actually really good.
I enjoyed the "here at Hollywood studios" portion very much.
Best skit 10/10
MY BLANKET
it took me 2 1/2 years to figure out it was a skit and not an actual study.
Mark stepped up to the occasion and we've reaped the benefits of that wise choice.
And then we broke it. *I T W A S F A N T A S T I C*
I deadass thought Brad Pitt looked ready to kill someone while he made breakfast because of his “military past” or something
Nah it's just cause his family is hella annoying
Everytime Brad Pit presents the movie and talks about how great it is - it sounds like he's trying to convince himself that the film isn't hot garbage.
He's forced by contract to give it good PR
The kid in this movie is like.. Some sort of ailen shapeshifter , right? Because honestly, no human being is that stupid. That "I want my blanket" line is the most bratty, infuriating thing I have ever heard.

I remember reading the book in early high school, and I remember watching the movie like, ”wait, what does this have to do with World War Z?”
Jerod Wolf the book was sofucking interesting, talking about the world as a whole, what effect the zombies would have on them, how they would deal with the zombies, etc.
Theres Zombies?
It’s like “I, Robot” all over again. Use the title, vaguely steal the concept… replace everything else
@@Peeps7468And How to Train your Dragon, but you don't see people complaining about it because they actually had ideas that they executed well.
@@goosegas2087
The How to Train Your Dragon books and movies were so different but both so good. But they also used many of the same main characters and names, same island location, etc.
The movies and books of WWZ and I, Robot didn’t share the same location or characters.
They made a lot of changes when adapting How to Train Your Dragons, but they didn’t seem to make it past chapter 1 when adapting the other two movies.
You hate child actors because you love them and want them to do better
That's actually pretty heartwarming
They also went to shoot somewhere in eastern europe, and during custom-checks it was discovered that a large part of the blank-fire prop-guns were actually fully functional live fire.
Whoops.
What the fuck
Chickenfarmer10 a blank firing prop gun is a fully functioning gun with special ammo what doesn’t have a projectile but replicates the noise flash and recoil, that’s how one was able to kill Brandon lee
@@RUSTYCHEVYTRUCK "special ammo" u mean uuh.... blanks??
Chillin Gate more like hot loaded blanks, it has to be powerful enough to cycle the action of an automatic gun (semi or full) and most usual Blanks aren’t that powerful
How could you fail at something like that? Were the producers trying to recreate Brandon Lee's death?
"Why is there a helicopter flying around? Why is the police officer so rude? Why is there an explosion?"
Well, I mean, they are in Newark. Is any of that really out of the ordinary?

Weird how they filmed Newark and called it Philadelphia.
Probably not much different though.

@@coolguy02536 Theres way less dead homeless people in Newark
In this movie Brad Pitt suffers from 'my only personality trait is I have a family to return to' syndrome. The main character in Godzilla was also afflicted by it. Side effects include being bland and boring.
wit Godzilla movies?
beneil2
2014. That guy who only seemed to have one personality trait. Two if you include that he defuses bombs even though he then never successfully defuses one.
*About the Godzilla thing, if my wife was being played by Elizabeth Olsen I'd have a strong "Return to my family" incentive* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Agreed. Especially if she were wearing those thigh high socks she wears in Avengers.
They are literally making a cut-a-second. Holy crap.
Yea, but that's what you do with action scenes. Maybe not THAT many. But it's just like when sentences in books get shorter when something exciting happens. This part, Adam exaggerated a bit.
@@Vi.wo13 not its not exaggerated lol its bad objectively and that's not what makes action intense but ok.
At one point it surpasses a cut-a-second and goes into about 1.3 cuts a second
*Catwoman flashbacks*
Would you rather have that or aspect ratio changes every second?
WWZ (book form) would be a great HBO show over maybe 2 or 3 seasons. *Book Spoilers Ahead* The blind warrior in the woods fighting zombies, the cannibal camp, the great war... One can dream.
I'd love to see the Yonkers battle put to screen.
The part with the *underwater zombies* was some of the coolest shit I've ever read. I was pretty entranced by the book in general, but that portion of the story just had me glued to the page.
Wise King the book was the perfect script for the movie but ....
Maybe one day. But the zombie genre has been beaten to death (no pun intended) by The Walking Dead and films like this so I doubt anyone will want to fund such a project until the general public has forgotten about them again for a few years.
Just keep those two idiots from GOT away from it.
That new York zombie scene could have been a huge advertisement for Volvo.
*"Oh wow look how fast the wagon is! look at its handling, the amount of space the wagon has too, woah! Volvo is so cool!"* then *crash*. airbags go off, wow everyone is safe! Volvo everyone.

I actually got to meet the author of the book and went to his NYCC panel. He didn't speak about the movie (because it was out for about a year already) but he's a super nice dude! And the book is good too! I was hoping that it would be a documentary style movie, including maybe "found footage" of the attacks.
Hopefully someone will do another adaptation, it could be done so well on a fairly restricted budget with a handful of good flashback scenes sprinkled in to well acted interview segments
It's made even worse when you know about the book, which is a pretty interesting take on zombie stories.
Yeah, I honestly loved the book, thought it was great, and this was so different from the book.
F Britannia this movie is a slap in the face in terms of adaptations. I had wanted to see the defense of Yonkers scene fleshed out for soooo fucking long, to get THIS instead.
Right? Imagine how cool it would've been if this was like the book, a mockumentary-like collection of interviews, even "dramatic reenactments" and all that cool shit
I keep using this example. It is like you had a chance to make lord of the rings so you made it a movie about a guy with dwarfism driving to Vegas, it's still kind of the same story, right?
They used the name because it was popular, zombie movies were popular, so they decided to make something that had nothing to do with any of those things.
Hey, it needs to be pg13, we want kids to see it cus kids love zombies. Did they not stop and think about the fact that those zombie movies that were popular were all r rated?
@@DriscolDevil yeah, it's all about the money. You can explain to shareholders and producers that a limited audience more mature and probably more gory and violent film can get you more respect and audience and DVDs bought on the long run, but they just want the max amount of money the fastest, so they'd rather make it PG13 and just cater to zombie fans wihtout putting in more effort.
Why are the zombies all running? The Zombie Survival Guide - also written by Max Brooks - states very clearly that the shortest time it would take a zombie to take one step is 1.5 seconds, which is well below a typical walking speed. And yet all the zombies in this movie are fucking sprinting around at top speed.
Couldn't they have just picked any other title for this movie?
They should have, kind of like 1998's _Godzilla_, which had something to do with an oversized monster but that's about it. Even ... fans... of the movie said it could've been titled anything else, maybe save some embarrassment and we wouldn't have to pretend it never happened. You're right about the movement of zombies ~ after all their motor skills are slowed way the fuck down and only act on instinct. (I get a kick out of the book, too, I've read it many times).
Not only because the movie's garbage, the fact Brad Pitt is showing up in every movie, but it's the movement of this CGI diarrhea I can't bear to watch. Just from the trailer I thought 'nope' since it looks like a rushed job. No life form moves like that and since when do zombies understand the concept of teamwork, piling atop one another to get over obstacles? The exception of all this can be seen in _Resident Evil 3_ after Dr. Isaacs injects test subjects with yet another experimental strain of the T-virus.... but again that's some artificial Juju-juice while the 'zombies' in this movie are the 'om nom nom'-transfer type.
I read that book but don't they also get infected in 21 hours were they are reanimated
+cyanmanta That's stupid!
Tell that to the zombies in Left 4 Dead

"Some even started asking questions about the rock, but we didn't want that."
I'm ashamed to admit that at first I didn't know this was a bit. I thought it was footage from a legitimate "Making of" bit.
Poe's Law has reached critical mass.
Honestly considering how out-of-touch Hollywood producers are it wouldn't surprise me if this was real
late to the party but i feel sad when actors have to be interviewed about a movies problems during its release or leading up to it because its against their self interest to describe its problems so they end up looking like idiots during interviews
Yeah. It must suck too when they get cast for a film, and then so many changes are made that it's not even the film they signed on for in the end.
also they are contractually obligated to not say bad things about the movie

World war z the book: the story of the geo-political, religious, environmental and social changes that result of the zombie war. And from a variety of countries and perspectives.
World war Z the movie: Brad Pitt running from explosions and "zombies". Literally nothing from the book is in the movie.
And there is a super easy fix for the plague so we get a happy ending.
I tried to explain this to someone who claims to be a huge fan of the book and they kept telling me i was wrong :P
@@cdreid9999 wrong about what?
@@DriscolDevil they claimed it was tghis first person adventure ala the movie. as i remember it it was a lot more of a tactical/strategic overview of the war.. albeit through multiple characters eyes. none of this "hero rushing through the zombie hord to save the day" shit
@@cdreid9999 yeah. There were tons of hero moments but all of those were done way better, more believably, and more relatable. The brad Pitt character is empty. Does he have an issue killing his first infected? Does he show any fear or any emotion at all?
The book did such an amazing job of humanizing the characters and making them feel real, that makes it interesting to see how they handle the situation.
The Pitt character was just an avatar, a blank slate to move the "story" along so we can get those trailer shots and get pointless exposition to fill the rest.
They could have made an entire wall street style movie about the one guy that conned the world by selling rabies vaccines. They could have made an entire trilogy out of the two guys in Japan and their story. So much wasted potential.

Somehow it's always conveniently cold and dark in these movies. There needs to be more zombie films with blue sky, chirping birds, and flowering trees. It would be an amusingly ironic backdrop to people getting slaughtered by the undead.
See: the opening scene to 28 Weeks Later
Not movies, but the Dead Island series does this pretty well. Very bright atmosphere, 1 is on a tropical island and 2 is in Los Angeles. The teaser trailers for both of them are also amazing
What amazes me is that since the very beginnings of Hollywood, studios have been making these stupid mistakes, and they keep making them. It's really astonishing.
Alexandre Martins They keep making the excuse of “a sucker is born every minute.” They don’t care about change, they want things to go their own lazy, safe way.
@@troin3925 Yeah, makes sense... or rather, doesn't, but then, it's Hollywood tycoons, so... cheers!
This is partially what got me into anime. In the US it is the same thing over and over... the good guy has incredible plot armor. They won't die while bad guys around them are killed by stuff that they just brush off when it happens to them. Anime the main character can die, the ending can be where the good guys don't win. Most of the typical US tropes and cliches don't exist,
The scene of everyone freaking out in the streets at the beginning reminds me of a really bad version of the Spielberg War of the Worlds scene where the exact same thing happens, just substitute Tom Cruise for Brad Pitt, and replace child's dialogue "Is it the terrorists?!" with "I want my blanket!", which is an incredibly cliche thing for a kid to say.
That and an authority figure unnecessarily yelling at only one car useless orders like "Get back in your car!" for no reason, and then being killed by a jumpscare--in this case a big truck driving through a traffic block at full speed as if there was no car to slow it down. Oh no! The cliches are coming!
Each YMS only gets better and better. Can't wait for part 2.

***** Oh, I assumed part 2 would come later since they are separate. Just an upload strategy I suppose.

Does every second person in US have asthma? It just seems like a really overrepresented thing in movies.
It can be a side effect of obesity so yes
Isaac Fox Alot of people in my class are skinnier than a Caprisun straw and they still have asthma.
outliers, the lot of them
It's also a lazy and convenient plot device, especially for action movies. The main character (or their little shit kid) could be running or fighting or just breathing heavy, and then oh hey, asthma attack! It's one of those disease/disorders/whatever that can have a major effect on a person, yet also isn't immediately life threatening and can activate at the drop of a hat.
+Holy Applebutter And not all asthma attacks work the same. Sometimes one can tell when their asthma starts to kick in.
Zombies stopped being scary an extremely long time ago, which is rather unfortunate.

The stupidest part is that they filmed in Glasgow because... reasons. I mean, even M. Night Shyamalan can get a permit to film his turd sandwiches in Rittenhouse Square. But this 200+ million-dollar movie had to shoot their downtown Philly scene in Scotland? As soon as I heard about that in pre-production even _before_ all the strife rumors and reshoots, I knew this movie would be hot garbage.

Every scene she is in is her just staring blankly at her husband, screaming for her husband to help her, and think about him almost daily and his safety (which is not a bad thing to worry about your spouse but for fuck sake, don't make it your hobby. FOCUS ON YOUR KIDS)
The scene in the grocery store for an example. She gets targeted by the muggers and all she does is flop around on the ground and scream for her husband to come save her. I know she's suppose to be your stereotypical suburbian mom, but it's not hard to aim your foot to his crotch or punch him in the face. Or since he has a gun, just quietly hand him your purse so he won't *goddamn shoot your husband when he comes running to save you*
She was the most dull, uncharacteristically inspired, frantic piece of wonder bread I ever seen and every time she came onto screen and delivered her stale performance, all I can think of is "what prompted him to marry her?"
I agree completely, at least with the kid characters you can say their stupidity is due to them being kids, but there is absolutely zero excuse whatsoever for writing an adult woman as an idiot with the intelligence and self-preservation of a three year old.
The booty was good?

NEVER follow a formula. Aim for consistency. You don’t need that to feel enjoyment, but you need that to learn smth out of the movie, or for the film-makers to tell a story, or a theme/message, and for the fans, again, to believe/understand it
The script
It's all writing. Mireille Enos gives a phenomenal performance in The Killing, which is a really engaging thriller series I'd recommend to just about anyone. Her character in World War Z was almost definitely written to be a bland afterthought so that Brad Pitt's character would have some kind of emotional baggage in the film.
I'm sure you've heard this before, but you remind me of Spencer Chamberlain from Underoath
It's Cuestar!
Woah, Cue? How does this comment only have 17 likes?
Wait WHAT YOURE HERE
This video is 5 years this comment is 4 years before cuestar had his audience and here i am 2 years later after the comment and 5 years when this video came out writing a comment no one will see
@white-nation wtf
15:50 I just love how back then you were so consistent with the AMAZING Death Note OST
9:22 Holy shit some of those zombies were Naruto-running.
Now that's epic
To Area 51
Guaranteed everyone watching this video tried pulling out their own teeth
it's true
lol. hell yeah.
HUUUUUUH HUUUUUH wow i really tried
No I thid noth.
yes. and yes i can pull out my teeth. by pushing them inside...
When I bought the book for my English class, I kept reminding myself that I've already watched the movie and that the book was going to be just as boring. The book is awesome! The movie was just underwhelming.
Initially, I was going to say "wait a second, but I liked that movie!" and then I realized that, since it came out, I haven't watched it a second time. That's my real test for if a movie is good, if I want to watch it more than once. Thinking about it, this one failed that test.
Heeey. Wasn't District 9 the first film that used that horn?
***** Nice Salad Fingers profile pic.
Yeah, but everyone probably calls it the Inception horn because Inception was much more popular (for some reason).
BeenieBomb It's because it was in the inception trailer tons of times.
Yeah although it had been used a few times before but it was District 9 that started the trend.
_Valuemeall_ Yeah that's true. The District 9 trailer did use it as more of a feature while the Inception trailer used it as a kind of focal point. :P
The bit where the "valuable asset" guy slipped and shot himself was my favorite part of the entire movie. Stuff like that doesn't happen in movies, but a person panicking, slipping, and shooting their gun by accident is definitely something that would happen in real life. It was also hilarious, so points for comedy
"Get your seatbelt on or else I'll stop paying attention to the road."
Farewell sides.
For some reason, since I read the book and survival guide, how fast the people changed to zombies really bugged me
glad some directors figured out you get your child actors from on-Broadway, off-Broadway, and off-off-Broadway instead of model agencies...
What the fuck? The first outbreak in south korea? Couldn't they keep that one fucking fact that patient zero was in rural china? God why even keep the title. I'd prefer this film much more if it didn't completely rule out the possibility of a good World War Z movie.
+Saul Dragneel No, since they also mentioned that one of the main factors in the infection spreading so fast was both the black market of organs using Chinese political prisioners and the Chinese goverment way of dealing with the outbreak based on their reaction to similar crisis in the past (Brooks is a History major) and if they showed that then the Chinese goverment wouldn't allow the movie to screen there.
BUT WHEN THE TAX MAN COMES TO THE DOOR,are those zombies
I love hearing obscure Vulfpeck songs in these kinds of videos. "Skymall" is perfectly applicable to this one :)
Adam:"kids never cry in films"
godzilla(1954):"am i a joke to you"
dont compare 1954 and 2000s movies
City of God wants to know your location
I agree with you on kids in movies. Every part 2 to a successful movie has an annoying kid who has to be saved. Hollywood does not even try to make decent movies. I usually just watch CZcams channels that explain a movie.
D Smith same. If I didn’t see them in theatre (which is 99% of the time), I just wait for some critic channel to make a video.
I think anymore instead of having a pretty damsel in distress now it's a kid who needs to be saved. I guess they are trying to make stronger female characters but at the cost of the kids in movies who often get dumb down to make it plausible for them to get in a situation that they need to be saved.

When I was younger, about 6 years old, I went to an audition for child actors were a camera guy stood there and just took pictures of all the children. Either he´s a pedophile and there were no actual movie, or they just stopped giving a shit about good performances for child actors, so they can blaim it on the kids (because they are kids). Probably both. xD
Auncro jesus
WWZ is the most tragic tale of a book to movie adaptation
It could have been an anthology of key moments, patient X, the organ trade spread, the fake vaccine, the great panic, battle of Yonkers (of course) the rebuild, and a conclusion that is satisfying.
The first time I saw the zombies ignore that guy I jokingly whispered to my friend "haha, the zombies just don't want to get cancer." And then, *two hours later* , the characters figured out that the zombies actually just didn't want to get cancer. I was laughing so uncontrollably that I had to leave the theater to avoid getting kicked out.
You know, Mark's American accent was pretty decent before he slipped a small 'aboot' in there.
I dunno, his 'eh's and hockey references were driving me crazy.
I still don't understand how people thought this movie was better than it actually was. It's a 6/10 at the most
It felt like a 2 hour long Pepsi ad with that dumb vending machine scene at the end.
It was a decent movie if you want some brainless shit just to pass some time, but yeah; 6/10 at most.
I still need to read the book. My friends were suggesting it way before the movie was announced. Then they told me about the structure of the book and how they could not see it being adapted to film. Then they saw the film and sure enough, they did not see it being adapted to film.
Your profile picture is fucking Godly
The Third Child solid meh film
"After decades of research we discovered that a key component of successful movies is a good story"....
Your first red flag when deciding to watch a movie in a zombie or horror movie genre is that it is PG-13. Limited gore, next to no curse words, no real life suspense all because it is a movie that compromised on quality and realism to make it acceptable for children to watch.
Man, idk what you are talking about. Have you seen 10 clover field lane? I believe that’s Pg-13 and dear lord the tension in that is immense.
Limited gore isn't a problem. Shitty horror movies and games usually rely on gore way too much.
If I remember the book was actually an interesting, intelligent look into the zombie outbreak trope that focused on interviews and differing people's opinions/experiences. The movie is...boring.
Sarf It's favorite zombie book. And feels real and is better than most in its genre imo.
the book is cheesy
video10100 definitely but compared to other zombie tales it's a lot more realistic
that one stormtrooperif you count mercenaries guarding a reality tv show during the apocalypse "realistic" then alrighhty
video10100 yes. Think about all the stupid reality shows people will watch now adays. And private military forces pmcs are far from unheard of
"After many decades of research, we've realized that part of the process of being a successful film, is having a good story." No shit, Sherlock.
k
sorry for triggering you, xir.
***** wow thats pretty fucking bad :^(
*****
ohohohohohohoho! XD
+John McSayer the fuk
When I watched the film I laughed so hard, when the guy accidentally shot himself, that I started coughing and crying.
So did I.
I've been watching this over and over since it came out, and I just want to say that the sheer emotion in "it was fantastic" (12:35) haunts me to this day.
For whatever reason, watching you try and pull your own teeth out was the funniest thing for me.
I love the braaaaaaaaaammm sound.
bbbbwwaaaaaammm!
+Spectre Night I thought that sound originated from inception.
Scarlet Lane It did, as far as I know.
+Spectre Night District 9 actually did it first, Inception just popularized it since they used it as a plot device.
I did like 8 years ago, but now it's sooooo annoying!
I watch this video once a year. One of my comfort videos.
Just ran across this today, awsome review. Something I noticed, when Brad was in the RV driving the little wing window was shattered, did that happen in the movie, or was that suppose to be how the gunshot from the. Car killed the driver if the RV?
love the cliché action font appearance in your bedroom tooth pulling scene, hilarious touch
Book was better
Who doesn't know this?
The director
+Inquisitor Sand Don't worry, the critics made him very aware.
Oh, I just thought it was just a coincidence that there was a book with the same name because it's not like they're similar in any way.
Of course because you can compare books to movies now
enjoying "skymall" from vulfpack as the background music
0:54 this in general is good advice. Over the last 6 or so years this has saved me from countless arguments
Honestly i think the Policeman getting hit by the truck wasn't supposed to be taken seriously at all. I legit heard roars of laughter in the theatre when that happened
That story with the rock reminded me of poor Weighted Companion Cube
Doesn’t he come back at the end of portal 2?
17:13 fun fact- my friend had a toothache, so instead of going to the dentist he actually pulled his tooth out bare handed. I don’t know how but he used both hands
Bad gums and teeth I can imagine
14:15 the zombie all the way to the left just literally dives off the building
