Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead on Netflix was marketed as a fun, exciting action comedy heist movie. But it failed to live up to expectations. Imagine my shock.
Fun fact: Tig's character was originally played by actor Chris D'elia. His scenes were removed after he was accused of sexual misconduct. That's why Tig's almost entire performance was done solo, as all her scenes were reshoots. What few bits show her with others in the cast was done with CG inserts.
I love how the daughter looks in the poster so confident and proud. When you see a woman like that in a poster movie you could immediately deduced she is a selfish and rude person who always managed to win or survive
Tig Notaro’s character was originally played by Chris Delia. They shot the entire movie with him in it. When his sexual assault allegation came out, the production distanced themselves and literally edited him out of the movie. Notaro is legit green screened over him in certain scenes.
I like that all the mercenaries use different guns and different calibers. In a realistic sort of take, seems like it would be a good idea for them to use similar guns and the same calibers so they can share ammunition, or have a team member as the big dude loaded down with all the excess ammo.
When he said they needed a safe cracker to get into the vault I thought the twist was going to be that it wasn’t actually Japanese guy’s vault and he just convinced them to steal for him. Seemed obvious to me, but I guess he just forgot his passcode..?
Want to help support my work, so I can carry on drinking and destroying bad movies?
This is literally a movie where his daughter is the anti hero. Everything she does causes all of the problems and deaths of the good guys.
The daughter was supposed to come off as a “strong independent woman” type.
For some reason Shaun of the Dead remains one of the only zombie movies to show the military being competent.

It's really brave of Tom Cruise to play a lesbian ace pilot. Shows that he's a well rounded, open-minded individual.
I'm just glad fanboys can't blame the studio for this and that this is purely 100% Zack Snyder

the only smart character in the movie is that one dude who 'backs out' the heist
Someone mentioned that Bautista looks like he’s holding in a sneeze throughout this movie and now I can’t unsee it
And let's not forget how the Alpha Zombies continually do various baddy and super hero comic book poses! I laughed my ass off!
"We need a crafty, sneaky, hawt smuggler lady to get us in. Only she knows the hidden paths. Without her, the journey into the city is impossible."
This was the cinematic equivalent of passing a piece of paper around the classroom and each person adds one sentence to continue the story.
"Dull lifeless characters" Unfortunately he wasn't referring to the Zombies.

This movie makes the first Resident Evil movie look like a master piece.
"I thought this was going to be an Oceans 11 style heist interrupted by a zombie apocalypse and they'd have to adapt their plans and escape Vegas."
Dawn of the dead (2004 remake) is probably my favorite zombie movie Zack Snyder made, I still love it even to this day
